I've had a similar situation with some amnesia haze seeds I've just planted. I planted a dozen into compressed pete pellets, I had two of them sprout within two days and also noticed a little tap root under one of the pellets which was a seed I knew I had dropped but just left it. I planted this carefully into one of the 'vacant' pellets. One of the two other seedlings shot up so quick, it smashed into the propagator lid, hence the bend in the stem. I also noticed that the tap root had erupted through the side of the pellet. After reading this thread, I now know I should get this into a small pot or re-plant it to get that root into the soil so thanks for the tip!

thermite Reviewed by thermite on . Basic question about germination / seedling stage. 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 ? Do i need to replant the "seedlings" deeper in the rockwool so the whole white "tail" is burried. Thanks for the help -D.A. Rating: 5
