Hey i just dirted my tank first time and want to know if i can get away with growing baby tears with only 1,5 wpg right now i have a dry start cover in plastic wrap
I was also wondering if i should wait for the baby tears to get some roots before i cap it because when i bought them (2) their roots were vary small im scared to cap it cuz the roots arent long enough to reach the soil and idk if its safe please help

how tall is the tank and what lights do u have? 1.5w could grow them in a 10g ...so just need a bit more info on ur tank. and baby tears roots are small its after u plant them and they start growing that their roots also start growing soo just cap the dirt. planting baby tears in straight dirt can also work but will be easily kicked up if its not capped.
