Taproot down or up?

[Weezard]

I've read conflicting advice on planting a germinated seed. Some say plant taproot down, some say plant taproot up. This article makes a pretty compelling case for planting taproot up, which seems counter intuitive (roots grow down, right?) Anyway, interested in thoughts from some experienced growers.

Hi, Ghengis.

Plant seeds pointy side/root, up.
Cannabis tap roots are programmed to make a U-turn.
Pop a few, it's what they do.
That gives them more leverage to push the tap root down.
The deep tap root, then unbends that "u-turn" which provides the strength to pull the coyledons up and makes it easier to shed the seed husk.
