주요 사실

• Required conditions: moisture, warmth (20–25°C / 68–77°F for most crops), and darkness
• First structure to emerge is the radicle (root); then the shoot pushes upward
• Germination rate drops significantly if seeds are stored incorrectly (heat, humidity, light)
• Rockwool cubes and rapid rooter plugs are the most common hydroponic germination media
• Pre-soaking seeds for 12–24 hours in plain water accelerates germination
• Dome and heat mat maintain humidity and temperature for consistent germination rates
