What to do with starter Plugs??

[MrPuffAlot]

I got 12 starter plugs with my Organic Grow set kit.

I plan on doing the paper towl/dvd case thing to germinate.

So does that mean, I dont even need starter plugs at all?

Or do I germinate the seeds, then place into the starter plug
and then the starter plug with seed into the soil i plan to grow.

Or go straight to the soil with out the start plugs, like many seen to do.

Thanks..

you can do eather start them in papertowel than put them in plugs, you can germ start them right in the plugs, or you can germ start them in soil. whatever works forya

I'd germinate them in the paper towel, then stick them in the starter plugs and put it in the soil :P

Starter plugs are meant for germinating seeds. Why bother with paper towels at all :)

If I use them, i want to make sure i use them right?

Do I plant the plugs into the pot??

do I bury the seed in the plug?

How moist do i make the plug??

if I do it, i want to do it right the first time. only got 12.

Do I plant the plugs into the pot??

Yes, but not right now. You only put them into a pot once you can see roots emerging from the plug.
do I bury the seed in the plug?
Yes, drop the seed into a hole 1 cm deep. Carefully cover it over. I like to use a match for making the hole.
How moist do i make the plug??

Keep it damp, not dry and not sopping wet.
if I do it, i want to do it right the first time. only got 12.


If in doubt, try a few both ways, see what you're happiest with. I just can't see the point in having to make unnecessary transfers, when it can all be done in the plug.

How do I keep the plug up??

Its basically lose in a sealed baggie right now.
Do i have to jerry rig something to suspend it?
or buy a pot for the plug.

thanks for your help
