New Grower Confused as hell about fresh popped seed position in soil.

[Kakarot]

OK I have a dilemma, we have 2 choices here pointed end and tap root up or tap root down? I have always planted the seed in soil with it pointed down BUT a good deal of reading and I have found the proper way to plant in soil is actually with the pointed end/taproot pointed up as shown and explained in this diagram, share your thoughts guys. I also did all 4 of my girls this time with the seed fresh cracked and with the pointed tap root end pointed up I have noticed that it takes a tad longer BUT the seed always sheds the husk,anyway here is the link to the artical.

I put the tap root in the down position and cover with medium whether using soil or coco.

Either way will work

Nature doesn't really follow the rules that we try to apply...

When I first started growing, I paid attention to small snippets like that but now? As long as somehow it ends up in the soil then I know it will work

I used to put them in taproot up, and now I put them in taproot down. Next time I am putting the taproot upside down to see if it works.

I do like the idea of putting them taproot up, to help them shed the shell casing when breaking free through the soils surface.

If the seed just cracked open I don't pay any attention to direction. If it has a tail I try to point it down and if I cant I point it sideways at least.

Plant the seed and let it do its thing.

If you are planting a germinated seed with a tap root of any length then you should be planting the seed with the tap root pointing DOWN. Roots don't grow upward for a reason.

Roots follow gravity - it doesn`t matter how to plant it, it will go down anyway. But it might help and speed things up by planting with root down.
