@ScottM was the seed in the Coco Pod’s hole before taking this picture?

Chris.
Looks like your coco pod wasn’t deep enough. If it’s dry and that’s the position you’ve always had it in then that most likely is the issue… germination needs oxygen water and humidity
Yes. It was about a half inch deep and the pod was soaked. I pulled the seed out to see if the root had grown since changing the water last week and not much at all.
Hi Chris,
The pod has always been at this depth but it was absolutely soaked. I tried gently touching the top and water would squirted up out of it. I then lifted the white cover and water was dripping pretty heavily out of the pod.
Thanks,
Scott
Hmm might be to soaked and you fell victim to dampening … if you try another seed soak the coco pod then squeeze so it’s not dripping
Yeah I dont think you put it deep enough I’m not seeing the line your supposed to stop at
This is simply epic. Wowzers beyond belief! I love when our users help each other!!
Best,

Thanks! I’ll try pushing it further down. Our machine did not come with a label indicating the line and I’ve seen some conflicting info out there, one thread states it should be flush with the lid and others stating it should be pushed down to the line. Heading to the grow room now to fix it and will try again.
Appreciate all the support, this one sprouts.
Push it under the line when you see roots hitting the water you can push it
Sorry for the confusion @ScottM
Here is the skinny on coco pod placement. We have made some slight cosmetic updates that enables the user to place the coco pod flush with the top of the lid.
If your lid has a sticker, place the coco pod at that level.
If your lid does not have a sticker, place the coco pod flush with the lid.
Cheers,
Stephen
What were the charges to allow for the pod to be higher ? For ones with the sticker can we push it up like that or is it a different shield?
Different lids @chris_barfield. They are not exchangeable. Sticker users push down, non sticker users are flush.
Best,
Stephen
That is an important piece of info @Stephen I assumed the sticker was a new addition to an existing lid to aid in germination. The more you know.
Is it safe for me to push up level? I did not know this I thought mine was just missing the sticker.
Yep! I would do it now before more root growth
