Happy to see the Super-Hots pop in 8 days! We will see how many more we get in the next few days but thankfully already have plenty! 9 variaties in this tray and first time doing death-spirals which have a germ rate of 90% so far!

Must be up north. In my experience, those cardboard seed trays slow things down by weeks. When you transplant, take the plant and root ball out of those trays. They are supposed to degrade, but the don’t degrade fast enough. It will take weeks for the roots to grow through the cardboard when you plant them.

Agreed, I never dare plant these trays as they just choke out plants. I only use them for germination then all the seedlings get split up individually and go into 3.5” pots with Fox Farms happy frog until theyre ready to go into their 10gal grow bags.
