I used the water cup method for germination of my Gold Leaf and the seed completely separated from the taproot in the cup shortly after the taproot came out. What should I do in this case? Discard this seed and try another? Or will it still work? ![20220624_100709_GL_germinated](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/4/9/c/49c732d992c81892859e06f1d2d606f03490fe8e.jpeg) Many Thanks! -Saxy ---

It looks like it fully popped open and sprouted in the water just carefully put it into soil tap root down obviously lol ---

Thanks for the quick replies! I put it in the rapid-rooter taproot down and put the husk gently as close as I could to the head of the taproot as there still seemed to be some nutrients in the husk. I used tweezers (gently!). Best, -Saxy ---

Thanks HMGRWN, that puts my mind at ease about this little guy. This is my first grow, so I have a lot to learn. GoingGreen: that’s \< 1/3rd of it too! πŸ™‚ ---

I think I would just plant it in some moist soil. Preferably something like happy frog. ---
