How does this product work in starting seeds?

Works great! Just put the pellet into a small pot and keep it watered. It must stay moist, not soaking wet, but moist. The other key is to move it outside into real soil at the correct time. The seed packet will describe this timing.

Absolutely - I've used this for years and have never had a problem with any of my established plantings. It really works. I find using it twice does the best job as in early spring can find repeat eruptions of different types of seeds. Love this stuff.

No. It's small and doesn't generate alot of heat. Just gentle heat to get seeds started.

I've lived in Charleston, SC and now live in WV. I've been more successful starting seeds using gentle bottom heat in a controlled environment. You don't want too much heat and too much moisture. Suggest you try using a basic plant starter tray either placing it in a safe shady spot outside or warm spot inside. Keep it away from direct sunshine as the heat will dry the planting medium. Gentle moisture and gentle heat are the key.

Nothing fancy needed. I use a quart jar with a mesh screen lid. Soak your seeds over night, then drain and rinse the seeds and lay the jar on its side. Rinse each day for 3 or 4 days until the seeds have sprouted to your liking. Then eat-em up!

Hi the instructions state that you just tear the paper and plant as is. Over time it dissolves- all natural of course and seeds grow. Sent them out as cards to teachers and it was a huge hit! Kept one for us and worked great

You place the disks one in each section of the tray, wet the soil, (leave the fabric intact). When soil is moist use a spoon and "dig a small hole for the seeds. Drop the seeds in the hole and cover with the dirt you removed or moved. Place in a warm sunny location. Keep the soil moist but not dripping wet and wait for the seeds to sprout. It takes about a week for the seeds to grow. Some will come up sooner than 7 days.

First, soak the seeds for 2-3 hrs. Start them indoors in 2" pots. Use a "seed starting mix." Make a dimple in the well-watered soil. Lay the seed on its side in the dimple. Cover the pots with clear plastic to create humidity. Place in a well-lit, bright, but not direct sunlight. Mist daily depending on whether the seed casing looks damp or not. They will pop up in about 3 to 5 days! I planted 11 seeds, but only 5 made it. I have been growing mine under fluorescent lights. These instructions came with my seeds ordered from Amazon.com. For further instructions, search the Internet.

I've been using a grow light for seed starting for years. I used a make-shift grow light with this Hydrofarm unit and had good success. The key to successful seed starting if mildly warm bottom heat and constant minimum moisture to the growing medium. Don't overwater.

I planted seeds directly into the hydroponics Rapid Rooter "plugs" and started them indoors before transferring them into well draining soil outside. They went right from the trays into planters and "took root" right away.

If you follow the instructions that are included and some basic gardening knowledge the success rate is quite high. Some seeds will take a bit longer so be patient . All my seeds from my first purchase sprouted. Bought a second one recently for a indoor herb garden next.

Yes, these cubes are highly suitable to start from seeds. I had high percentage of growing success like no other substrate, it does not come with nutrients, you have to use soluble nutrients after 2 or 3 weeks after the seedling sprouts.

Hey Burrel, I just purchased the seed myself and have not been able to see how it is going to respond yet. Good luck!

the seeds are very small, and you can't start them in the ground until after the last frost has passed, so depending on where you are , it's probably better to start them in a pot

Hmmm. The directions, I thought, were pretty clear. It's been a while since I used mine for broccoli sprouts.... but your seeds will stay in the inner container (after the rinsing and shaking process) for proper aeration, humidity and moisture. And that's where they'll begin sprouting.

Start seeds prior to using, moderate moisture will get seedling to transplant stage.

I don't know, I don't have the seed starter kit. They look the same in the picture as the refill for the starter kit.I do know that they work great in the AeroGardem baskets for the 6 pod machine.
