    germination question

    new grower so I'm not sure if I'm doing it right..my question: germed using paper towel method, seeds popped in 48 hrs, split some rapid rooters and put the babies in...at this point should I be giving them some light or keeping it dark until the leaves peek out the top of the rooters? lost a couple of germed seeds earlier and wondering if light too soon might be the cause?

      Maybe too much moisture. I have actually drowned some seeds in Rapid Rooters. Lost 5 of 12 premium seeds. I have gone back to pushing the seed into a dirt hole with a bare toe!

      Excellent article which I used to go by https://www.mandalaseeds.com/Guides/Germination-Guide , and then went to the erroneous Rapid Rooter method. I have since returned to the good ole way nature does it. Put it in the dirt.
