been reading the topics on here , i have done as it says on the germinating topic.

2 sheets of paper towl, and i have got them in a heated propignator ( sp )

now the seeds have broke and i can see the little white thing ,

shall i now drop it in a wet rockwool cube and put it under a light on 18 hours ??
wilson
no need for light yet! place it gently in the rockwool shoot down. about 3 cm. once it pops up with cotyledons then you can pu the lamp on

sorry quick edit. keep it in the dark until it pops up!

cheers mate , so shall i just leave them in complete darkness ? and also do i soak the rockwool cube ?
wilson
yeah just leave em in darkness! until the seedling has its first set of leaves (the rouded ones) it cant use any light anyways!? so it wont help..
with the cubes id soak em in your water first. then squeeze em a bit so their not saturated then leave em to sit for an hour or so..then pop in your seeds! all it needs right now is water cool.gif

As soon as they show they want light and taking out of the prop or else they will dampen off(rot)
