No, the tp roll was to support a hole in the center of top layer. I removed the tp roll and filled the hole with seed starter mix. I soaked the seed 24 hours, then planted directly into the seed starter portion of the pot. She rose 2 days later. Hope that helps.
I have germed in a starter cup once recently, turned out fine. As long as your timing is right, which I'd say is day 9-14. I just prefer starting in final pot, one less stress for a young seedling, and I'm lazy.
They always look so cute before they blowup into monsters.Day 14 update
So, so true.
Do you leave the air on 24/7? I use to but someone here convinced me (chastised me) that it would be better to cycle them with the lights.So I fired up the airdome yesterday around 10 am, day 15 I believe. Impressive growth since. I also moved her into the tent with better lighting, 3x3 with 6 Vero 29 (3500k) driven at around 260w. Huge upgrade to the 30w cob she was under. She looks absolutely perfect at the mo, can't really find any flaws at all. Guess I need more time to eff this one up.
Yes they share a timer with the lights. I too was told its not necessary, doubt it hurts them though.
