Sow weight: 17 grams per standard 52 x 27 x 3 cm grow tray

Basic Steps:

1. Lay a thin layer of moist coco peat and perlite mixture in a tray, about half the depth of the tray. Mist the surface of the grow medium

3. Press down firmly and mist with water.
4. Ad another tray (preferably without holes) on top of the seeds. Ad some weight in the form of a small tile or stone. This helps to form strong roots and get rid of unwanted seed hulls.
