I just germinated a couple seeds and one of them has the root looking healthy but it's taken like a 180 and kinda curled back towards the fat end of the seed.. how would i plant this?? will the root automatically grow down if i still put it in pointy side down even if the tip of the root would be facing up?? thanks

It will be fine..just plant it like any other seed and cover it gently wih dirt so the root doesn't get exposed to light.:bigjoint:

Just point the taproot DOWN, and only burry the top of the seed ~1/8 of an inch under the medium.

The root will grow down and push the seedling up. It will correct its self.

"even if the tip of the root would be facing up"

Like I said, just make sure the root is burried and mainly pointing down.

:D
