Wondering If Anybody Has Any Insights About Using This For Seedlings

[Jhodg2787]

Anybody ever used one of these for starting off their new plants after germination has happened? Just looking for feedback, getting ready to get some new plants going after my current batch finishes flowering in the next week and they are ready to be harvested.

I have but I prefer coco coir pods to start. But these never gave me any trouble. Just a preference thing. Disposable shotglasses work as well with what ever dirt you plan on using then transplant after first set of real leaves comes out. That way the roots don't have to push through anything but the dirt they live in.

Do you think that it can also be used for germination?

Could put them in water or paper towel then when they crack put them right in. That way you know it should pop out of the soil instead of putting the seed right in and hoping something will grow but might be a dud.

Jiffy pellets are mother's womb for my seeds. I cut away netting, top and bottom before hydrating and "transfer" to final day after sprout.
This works for ME.

So you just cut away everything around the pellets, water, and then put the seeds directly into the Jiffy pellets for germination? Any particular precautions taken regarding light during germination?

I soak for 8hrs. in a liquid seaweed solution, then place in the "fluffed up" jiffy 1/4" deep and place on seedling heat mat. As soon as they sprout, 56 and 67hrs. in this case, I pull off mat and put under a 26W starter lamp. While they're germinating I never let the weight go below 25gr or above 42gr, this ensures a moist, not dry or wet environment. This is what is functional for my purposes, you will modify and develop your own. Good growing. Last pic is of those seeds today, day 26, buds up. Auto BlueBerry Domina
