Ha guys, some very important tips: WARNING: this step it´so critical overall the project.

1) The space between each seed must be taken in consideration because if they are too close each other when the plant grows up they will fight for minerals and like final result you will get two or more weak plants furthermore some may die.

2 ) Keep in mind the germination rate_{, this means that no 100% of the seeds that you place on the paper will germinate. Typ for a supermarket seed is 80% or less check the manufacture if is longer than one year you rate will drop to 40%}, (search for other option)

3) Are you planning to use this paper only to germinate the seed and after 28 days you will transplant to another place (for bigger space) or this is going to be the final position of the plant?
keep in mind the space requirements for an adult plant for example tomato needs at least 1 foot around the root and a lettuce only needs 6 inches

I hope it helps you
