             paver) 

​Step 4 – Let germinate a day or two.  Spray twice daily. 

Step 5 – Place trays after two days in complete darkness (Black out).  Still spray twice

             daily.  Lift the white tray and look for roots.  If they start appearing spray them

             too.  They can't dry out.

Step 6 – When the seeds are pushing up the green tray with the weight in it, it is time to

              flip the green tray on to so you have a little dome now.  When the little plants

              touching the top of dome it is time to let them see the light!
