Basic question about germination / seedling stage.

[GaGrown]

I recently germinated my seeds and have planted them in a rockwool like little squares (i think the material is actually coconut shredding or something)
if the white "tail" that starts to grow is sticking up in the air out of the rockwool is this bad, will the roots grow properly ? [Some of the tails are like a whole inch out of their rockwool]

Do i need to replant the "seedlings" deeper in the rockwool so the whole white "tail" is burried.


Thanks for the help

That tail should see no light or air! Air prunes the roots naturally.. So it could die if not attended to.. Get it deeper.. Be gental though!
