JIFFY 7 C 50 MM

Description

The Jiffy 7 C 50 mm is a type of peat pellet used for starting seeds. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use it:

What You Need
Jiffy 7 C peat pellets
A tray or container for soaking
Water (preferably warm)
Seeds
Light source (for after planting)
Instructions
Prepare the Pellets:

Place the Jiffy 7 C peat pellets in a tray or container.
Pour enough warm water over them to fully hydrate the pellets. They will expand and become soft. This usually takes a few minutes.
Drain Excess Water:

Once the pellets have fully expanded, gently drain any excess water from the tray. The pellets should be moist but not waterlogged.
Plant the Seeds:

Use a small tool or your fingers to create a small indentation in the center of each pellet. This is where you will place the seeds.
Place 1-2 seeds into each indentation. Make sure the seeds are not too deep—usually, just pressing them gently into the surface is sufficient.
Cover and Germinate:

After planting the seeds, lightly cover them with a bit of the peat from around the indentation or use a small piece of peat or vermiculite if you have it.
Place the tray or container in a warm, well-lit area. Seeds generally need warmth and light to germinate. Follow the specific light and temperature requirements for the seeds you are growing.
Watering:

Keep the pellets moist but not soaking wet. It’s often best to mist them lightly if they start to dry out. Ensure they are kept in a humidity-rich environment if possible.
Transplanting:

Once the seeds have germinated and the seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves, they can be transplanted. Jiffy pellets can be placed directly into the soil or larger pots. Be careful when handling seedlings to avoid disturbing their roots.
