Crushed seeds will also not germinate. Old
seeds may have trouble germinating. Always try
to use the best seeds you can find.
TRANSPLANTING
During the stages between germination and
vegetative growth the grower may find that
he/she needs a bigger pot. Transplanting is
done nearly always as early as possible. One
example of a transplant is when the seedlings
are ready in their Rookwool SBS tray. The
seedling is lifted from the tray along with the
rockwool cube and placed in another grow medium
such as soil, or maybe even a hydroponics set-
up (more about hydroponics later). That is
called a transplant. There is not much of
problem when transferring the cube and seedling
to the soil. Just dig a small hole in the soil
for the cube and place it in. Cover the cube
with soil. The cube will not effect your plants
growth and will add support if anything.
If you have started your seedlings in soil
then you may want to transplant the plant to a
bigger pot. The problem with transplanting is
that people like to move the soil and roots
along with the plant from one pot to another.
