yes, i know, and if you place it facing up it will grow upward toward the air and before breaking surface it will grow downward. If you place the taproot facing down, it will grow back up towards the surface, then turn away and grow downward, which uses energy that can be saved from the seed. :thumbsup:Just stating what ive read on numerous growing sites while tryin to start my own.
