Moisture: Saturated (5) for days 1 – 3 or until radicle emergence. On days 4 – 7 reduce moisture to moist (3). Once actively growing, begin alternating between
moisture levels wet (4) and medium (2). Allow media to approach level (2) before re-saturating to level (4).
Humidity: 100% until radicle emergence then reduce to 40%.
Dehumidify: Provide horizontal airflow to aid in drying down the media through evapotranspiration, allowing better penetration of oxygen to the roots.
