That is a good question. The material is a dense foam, with a cut in the middle, really only good for 1 plant. I would bet that it has a good chance, with a large seed, like a tomato. It's kinda like a Rapid Rooter, if you know them. The puck is 1" thick, so if the seed is 1/4" down, the root only has to go 1/2" till it hits spray. For transplant to a hydro system it should be mint. Now that you made me think about it, and I own one, I am going to try it right now, with some freebies. Peace

I purchased this for my brother. I've forwarded your question to him. Hopefully he can help you out. Sorry

No, it will not germinate seeds. it is used to root cuttings from existing plants.

No, but to germinate your seed, simply place a wet paper towel in a plate, sprinkle seeds on towel and cover with a food wrap. place in a dark area and keep an eye on them. Works great.

No. This is only for starting your plants from seed or cuttings. Works great for starting from seed, however I did not have any luck getting any plants to grow from cuttings. Once plants begin to grow they must be transplanted.

Yes. But note that it is not a broadcast spreader, so you spread path is only as wide as the unit. Note that you can spread seed and fertilizer at the same time, also, if you want to.

No it will be fine. This is an oil based compound and it just lightly coats the seeds.

I am not sure. I use this primarily for bean sprouts. The smaller seeds I usually sprout in a jar or tub so they have room to grow upwards. It seems to me the smaller seeds might get too entangled in the fabric. For a great source of info (& product) check out Sprout People online, lots of great advice on technique & how to grow what, where. . . even instructional videos.

Yes. You can grind the seeds. I personally use a coffee grinder to grind the seeds, then put them in a drink.

Yes you could. I have used it at 2 in ches thick on top of miracle grow moisture control. Alone it grows and starts plants amazingly. Can lose moisture fast in hot,dry conditions. When combined with foxfarm liquid nutrients i had the tallest and brightest tiger lillies ive ever seen. You get huge flowers.

No, but I do reuse the humidity domes until the seeds germinate. If you have lost those you can use small ketchup or condiment cups from the local burger joiint.

Yes, you be able to use it to grind seeds. The blades are close enough together to be used for that.

Yes. Great product, by the way, since the pot is made from fertilizer and gives the seedlings a boost when you put them in the ground pot and all.

Hi I used these sunflower seeds to grow sunflower sprouts and they were terrific for growing sprouts. I have not used them to eat seeds. I do know that you should always soak your seeds and nuts before eating them. I hope this helps :)

Yes you can use your own seeds. You must because no seeds come with the pack. I am not sure how you would not use the sponge. That holds the seed in place. You put the sponge in a "basket." If you tried to put a seen into the basket, it would probably fall out unless it was a very large seed, like a lima bean or something.

I wasn't able to get any seeds to germinate and sprout. It has been suggested to me since then that it might help to place seed in the freezer for a few weeks before planting.

Absolutely! You just need to make sure the water level is high enough to keep your seed starting plug (rockwool plug is recommended) moist from the bottom. It is faster to germinate seeds in a seed starting system with a heat mat, but we also start seeds directly in our systems all the time. Good luck :)

I'm fairly sure you can. However the benefits I got from this product were pretty short lived. So I don't think I would bother.

I love these. I use mine to start seeds all the time, and they work great for it. One pointer I can give you is, puncture a small hole to help the root system start.

no, it is too much like peat moss, I wouldn't use it to sow seeds, it is a mix in type of product. HTH
