Transplanting is pure bro science in my humble opinion. I used to soak, sprout in napkins blah blah. Then moved on to jiffy pellets and got to thinking. Starting a seed in a jiffy is no different than Starting it in the final container. So thsts what I started and to this date. I have not had a seed not germinate. I had 2 pop upside-down because I buried the seed wrong but that's it. Try it, you'll be surprised. Wet a 6 inch circle in your container first. Place the seed. Mark the spot with a tooth pick or something. Water every 3 days. And you'll be in business
