This step is very interesting and when you should start paying attention to what's happening with your plants. you will notice that your seedlings are bigger and growing faster then seeds that are not done this way. I don't know exactly what is happening but i do know that North must be facing up for this to work. It has some thing to do with magnetizing the water and that water then enters the seed and kicks off the growth. Tricking the plants into feeling a magnetic force like the Earth had a million years ago.
