If they start to appear dry, sprinkle jsut a FEW DROPS of tap water on them until they look like they did in the bag- keep a few in a sealed ziploc (we all have those lol) to compare moisture levels for your reference.
Ha . . . oops :wtf:

Did that last night. I didn't soak them for too long, but it looks like they soak up water pretty fast. I put the seeds right into the little hole and misted the top with a light kelp solution which is something I usually do for seed germination with my trusty sponge method.

Hopefully that won't cause a problem, but if so I have 100's of seeds from this line anyway, so it'd be more sad to lose the 10 plugs. Maybe I will give them a little squeeze tonight just to make sure they don't have too much water in them.

Funny, seems like every piece of technology I add only complicates the process a bit more. Hopefully the end result of all this will prove worthwhile (no real doubts that it will)
SaintAlphonzo Reviewed by SaintAlphonzo on . 1st time hydro questions Hi all, I'm getting ready to start on my first adventure in Hydroponic growing and had some questions that I haven't really found clear answers to. Been growing in soil for a while, but I really want to get away from the mess of dirt. I have a space that is about 3x3 (a little bigger actually) and currently have a 400W MH. I am going to get a HPS lamp soon, either 400 or 600 not sure yet which one but leaning towards more light (600). I built an ebb & flow setup from a conrete Rating: 5
