thank you for the suggestionever do a paper towel/cheese cloth/shot glass/whatever germination method?
do that until the taproot pops out of the seed (2-3 days) then just drop it in coco that's been dampened with water pH'd @ 6 1cm below the surface and it should take off from there
is this practice only for cuttings/clones?:D
starting seedlings in a dome and suddenly taking it off is like telling a cripple to get out of their wheelchair and start walking
is this practice only for cuttings/clones?
I have my fingers crossed for that seedling Neb.
coffee stirrers work well 2 i usually grab a hand full from any gas stop joint. Good 1 KenI have this happen sometimes too...I have no idea what causes it.o_O
.It does seem to save some when I prop them up..gotta be careful though
I use a pipecleaners...and add loose soil around the weak stem

primarily, yes. I mean, you can totally do it with your germinated seed in coco for 1-2 days, but the moment it truly breaks the surface of the coco its smart to let it breathe. I mean, I live in CO and we have NO HUMIDITY here, and mine are perfectly fine.
they've gotta "grow up" in the environment they will be living in, it's a pretty smooth transition for em. i've never had a seed fail that was germinated then put in coco. im positive your methods should be solid from here on out!
Burying the lower stem as it gets taller will encourage more root growth as if it were part of the taproot (uh, because it is). Ever notice all the little bumps on a seedlings lower stem below the cotyledon, those can be more roots for your vegging pleasure. A friend here just mentioned how this also can prevent elephant's foot if done during transplant (or by top-dress if you leave enough room in the container).
