Jiffy Seed Starting Tray Kit, 36 Cell 36mm Peat Pellets with Bonus SUPERthrive

Okay, I admit that I am grow from seed deficient...being kind to myself. I purchased these and the seeds I wanted to grow, hoping for yet not expecting much to happen. Well - what is happening, is crazy! This is not a joke, nor an exaggeration...the red morning glory seeds literally sprouted and grew an inch and a half, just 3 days after I planted them in this thing! The Mexican sunflower sprouts grew half an inch in 3 days, as well! Freaked me out - I woke up, and there they were! I had no idea that could even happen. Also - my marigold seeds are almost 3 inches after 5 days, the jalapenos and serrano pepper seeds are just now sprouting (5 days). At 5 days, I am already having to transplant the morning glory and sunflower babies, because they are too tall to have the lid not smash them. I measured the tallest one, and it's 4 1/2 inches tall. Maybe I just got freakishly good seeds??? The only Con this product is that the lid needs to be taped on, or at least both of mine did. They absolutely do not fit properly. Yeah, the tray is a bit thin-ish and wobbly, if you aren't careful to pick it up gently and slide your hand under it to keep it stable. But be gentle, use common sense and tape the sides of the lid, because it is SO worth the price and results. :)

I'm very pleased with this set of four 36 cell kits. The tray base is decently thick and can last for quite some time (as long as you take care when washing it). The lids are on the flimsy side, but are decently functional. The stars of the show are the peat pellets. I've been using the Jiffy brand for years and years, and have never been disappointed in the quality or performance. On two occasions I tried the no name brand peat pellets and, while they were cheaper per unit, the quality was just not there. When factoring in the ones that I had to toss because they fell apart, the Jiffy brand ends up being less expensive. Even if you already have trays, it can be worth getting the kits even if you only want the peat pellets. Depending on when you purchase, the price of a kit can be less than the price of just the refill peat pellets (for the same quantity of pellets). Zero complaints!

Works well PROS: good base tray with groves to spread water. Pellets adsorbs and holds water well, bonus an additive for plant health, packing sleeve can be used to hold top on. Cost per pellet is cheaper with the kit than ordering individual pellets. CONS: top does not fit well because it's do flimsy it distorts. Tray could be used multiple times but cr cheaper to buy new trsy kit then replacement pellets. RECOMMEND I am buying again so I recommend it for starting seeds I have the curse of death for plants but this kit seems to balance it out for at least the start of the plants life.

You know how successful plants grow? They have 1 seed spaced well and cared for daily. These convenient seed pods make that difficulty into an ease come true. The seed pods arrive intact because the packaging is sturdy, converting into a conducive biodome when in use. The natural material makes the sprouting and survival an achievable possibility. Grocery stores are a miracle because food is hard to grow, but these take a step to make growing food within your realm of ability by helping foster an ideal environment for sprouting. The unique makeup of natural material keeps the seed moist without rotting. Thank you Jiffy Seed Starting Kit for making these and selling them on convenient Amazon!

Perfect for an inexperienced gardener! Has simple directions! Container is sturdy even with all peat pellets rehydrated. Lid does not fit well but used tape to secure amd was fine All the seeds I planted were germinating within 10 days. Seeds I planted said usual time is 2 to 3 weeks. Very satisfied. Was so easy I am planted more seeds instead of buying those 4/6 packs of plants!

This is my first purchase of these. The peat pellets did as described, so no problem there. But, as others have mentioned, the clear plastic dome doesn’t fit. No matter which way you turn it, it pops out on one side and leaves a gap. Both domes in this pack of two did the same thing. So I did the best I could, lining it up on 3 sides. I left the last side propped up on the outside edge and then put some weight on the on it to help close the gap. Have no idea if this will work. Definite design flaw! Maybe the dome should push down on the outside of the tray instead of the inside edge. Unless these seeds sprout as planned, I probably won’t purchase this brand again.
