when the pop open, plant the seed so thw white tail is down and the seed is on top pushing up through the dirt

put about 2 inches down so you have a strong stem, use floros and put them as close as poss. I put mine a quarter of an inch away from the plant. I never had 2 40 w flors burn a plant, if you use more w than that do not let them touch but never had a floro burn my plant. You want as close as pos to keep stretching down. some say to put the floros 2 inch away but I had stretching when I did that.
