Germinating the seed:
Germinating the seed:
Hydrate your brown pellet by submerging it in water and watch it grow!
Ensure the side with the small inner circle is facing up and place a few seeds in the shallow hole created by the inner circle.
Place the pellet in a container and cover loosely with a transparent lid or plastic wrap to create a humid environment.
After a few days to a week, the seed(s) will germinate! If growing a head lettuce, pluck out any extra seedlings so just one remains. If growing herbs, no need to pluck!
