🌵 HOW TO USE
• Pre-moisten the mix until evenly damp—never soggy.
• Fill plug or cell trays loosely, leaving a small space at the top.
• Sow seeds at the depth recommended on your seed packet.
• Mist gently to settle seeds and keep the top layer evenly moist.
• Use a humidity dome to retain moisture during germination. Choose a dome height that allows room for seedlings as they grow.
• Provide consistent warmth and light—seedling heat mats and LED grow lights are ideal for strong, even growth.
• After germination, maintain steady moisture and airflow. Use a small fan to strengthen stems and prepare seedlings for life outdoors.
• Position LED grow lights 4–6 inches above seedlings to prevent stretching and promote compact, healthy growth.
• Once seedlings are ready, transplant into our Living Organic Soil Mix to give them a microbe-rich base and continue feeding with compost tea and liquid amendments as needed.
