There is no one correct answer. You can put seeds on wet paper towels and then transfer them to the hockey pucks, but you have to be careful to do it very gently so as not to damage its first little root. You don't want to dig it in, but rather lay it on a very wet/soft soil, and maybe move a few kernels of dirt up against it. Or you can put the seed right on the top of the Jiffy puck. In either case you will want to put a dome over it. Heating pad should be under it... kept at about 75F. Inside your dome, if you have a way to check it should have a humidity of around 75 to 85%...... and don't seal the dome too much because you want the seedlings to get some fresh air. No chemicals or nutrients, water about 5.7+- PH. Its as simple as that. Good Luck/
