hi....i haven't been on in forever. i signed on to get an answer to a question, and it turns out you posted the "Exact" same question i had. but i noticed that no one gave you an answer. have you decided to move forward based on your memory of the proper technique? someone below you said that the plugs should immediately be placed in light....but the first time i tried that, nothing sprouted, everything died. it was a phenominal waste of money and i shed a few tears! if you care to answer I would sure appreciate it. thanks, and happy "earth week"!!
