watering seedlings in peat pots and cell packs
Comments (3)Just enough to change the color of the top of the soil - gets darker when damp - and if you touch it with your finger it comes away damp. ;) Then dump the rest left out of the tray so they aren't left sitting in water. Watch out for peat pots as they can wick the moisture out of the soil itself. They can look damp but the soil in them will be dry. So you need to check them a little more carefully than you do with the plastic cell packs. Ok? Dave...See MoreTransplanting from 72 cell tray to Peat Pots?
Comments (1)I wouldn't recommend potting up to peat pots. They suck the water out of the soil. Seedlings want a bit more water when they're in that stage. I would get some 16 oz plastic cups (semi-clear so you can see the roots). Poke a few good sized holes in the bottom of the cups, fill with your preferred tomato potting mixture. Transplant into the cups, covering the pellet with about an inch or so of soil, making sure to break up the peat pellets as much as possible without disturbing the roots (I start from the ouside & work my way in towards the stem, using a micro-screwdriver). Then, probably spray with some diluted fertilizer to help with the transplant shock, water & wait a week or so for them to re-root and they should start taking off again. =) That's my personal method & has resulted in some very nice tomato plants for me this year. - Steve...See MoreHow many seeds do I plant in a seed starter kit cell?
Comments (14)Safyre--sometimes it is better to start a new thread rather than adding onto an old one. As for your question, it really would help to know what plants you're talking about. (As to the OP where how many seeds really depend on the plant). Are you talking transplanting into pots indoors, or into a garden. Since Houzz got rid of zone info, where are you at? I'm in Denver, so starting seeds now would mean I can't transplant out until April/May at the general earliest (my veg garden is just in plans right now for seed starting soon). But I have lots of pots indoors for the winter. All are different--I have some newly sprouted chives that I seeded directly into their pots. But I won't start my basil for another month or so, because it shouldn't go out until end of May due to our night temps here....See Moreupdate on transplant
Comments (7)Oh how wonderful! I donated my daughters cord stemcells I hope they helped someone find a happy ending too. I continue to hope that your young friend enjoys a life of happiness, health and love!...See More- 9 years ago
