hands into soil
Step 3 – Stack & Weight. Cover with a green tray or something else. Add weight(brick or
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!
Step 7 - Place the trays into the light. Not direct sunlight. They will burn or wilt. From now
on you only water from below. Start with half a cup of filtered water. Check water
twice a day.
