STARTING SEEDS

Success begins with germination!

Prepare the Paper Towels: Moisten two paper towels with water (not soaking wet).
Place the Seeds: Lay your seeds between the damp paper towels.
Store in a Baggie: Place the paper towels with seeds inside a Ziploc bag, but do not seal it shut.
Hang the Baggie: Position the bag vertically in a room you visit often, such as the bathroom, to ensure you remember to check them daily.
Monitor Daily: Check the seeds every day to ensure the paper towels remain moist but not too wet. Avoid letting them dry out.
Check for Germination: Starting on day three, hold the bag up to a light to observe the seed’s progress. Look for the taproot emerging.

Once the root reaches about ½ inch long, carefully plant the seed root-down about ¼ inch deep in the soil. Be gentle to avoid damaging the root.

Lightly water the soil. If growing indoors, use a spray bottle for the first few waterings until the roots establish themselves.

If growing outdoors, ensure it is past the last frost before planting directly outside—no artificial light is needed.
If growing indoors, maintain an appropriate grow room temperature to prevent excessive heat stress.
