Do I need to put this tray in sunlight at all for the seeds to germinate? Also, how frequently I water them?

There are directions on the pods. Add water till pods expand. Leave them in shade till they germane then check pods, if there dry add water. Very easy, however, it's very easy to overwater, as long as pods damp, leave them alone.

No no need until they germinate. Just don't let them dry that's all. Keep spraying them once germinated.Basically keep them moist.

you should provide heat under the seeds to get them to germinate. Then I recommend a grow light until they can be put outside. let mother nature do the rest. As seeds, they should be kept moist, not wet. Frequency is determined by the seed pods themselves. I spray mine everyday.

tray should be placed in window that receives at least 5-6 hrs sunlight, water when top of grow pods show or feel dry

I start my seeds in a humidity dome until they sprout and they are healthy. Once under the lights, I set the fixtures, about 3" above the tips. To get a good feel, hold your hand, back side up to the lights, near the tips, for ten seconds. If it feels to hot raise the fixtures, slightly. Just a tip, If you buy started seedling trays, from a nursery, you are going to bring home bugs. Not good for indoor growing.

sorry, I don't have a sproutmaster tray at all, just use a jar. but I only use about a tablespoon of seeds.

Correct. Get a large plastic tray from the garden shop and put under the seed tray. This way you won't waste water.

These are viable seeds that sprout in water. There should be no reason why they should not sprout in soil if watered and cared for properly.

I placed mine in a bucket and let them swell up as they were saturated with water to get them started, then watered them once per day after putting seeds in them. Not much water.

These are great to start seeds, or to root clones taken from another plant. As with any plant, it will require water and air to the roots. So these should be moist, and you can soak them until bubbles stop rising from them. Two minutes covered in water should have them ready to use. They can sit in a tray with a little water in it. You can decide if you will need a clear dome to keep moisture in. These will also make you an incredible lover!

As long as the rapid rooter is still moist just plant the seed directly into it. If it has dried out give it a quick soak. 5 minutes should be more than enough. Do NOT prestart the seeds on a paper towel. That is literally a grade three science project, not how any serious gardener/farmer would ever do it. Put them under lights immediately, even though the seeds haven't started yet. That will speed germination and prevent stretching when they do sprout. Leafy greens and herbs 12h/ day, tomatoes/peppers/the other thing 18h/day. NEVER 24h/day. Start with the Fluorescent light 3-4 inches above the rooters and let the seedlings grow up to 1-2 inches. raise the lights to maintain 1-2 inches distance.

I soak the cube in water *before* I put the seeds/cuttings inside. Seedlings need to be constantly wet while they germinate so keeping the cube in a small bowl if your best bet. Fill it up from the side though, not over top of the cube or you're seeds will just float away again.Also if I'm planting seeds I'll drop the seed it, push it in some with a pen, then pinch the hole closed a little. It don't have to be perfectly shut, it's more to just make sure the seed stays in place.

I just planted mine in miracle grow potting soil like I always do and kept them in sun light. When the soil is dry I water it. Also when they start to droop that also means they need a little water.

I did not. Put them in dirt, watered and almost every seed germinated. They grew like weeds. I've already had to transplant them into larger pots. I did water them every day, lightly.

Instructions for Use 1. Remove the netting from pellets and replace into each compartment. 2. Pour 3 ounces of warm water onto each pellet in your planting container. 3. Wait 10 minutes for the pellets to absorb the water. 4. Remove about 1 teaspoon of soil from each pellet and set aside 5. Open seed pack on back perforation and stir seeds into the soil one at a time. 6. Using the soil that you set aside in step 4 cover the seeds and lightly pack down. 7. Add water if necessary to keep soil and seeds moist- however, over watering can lead to a fungal or mold growth. Drain any excess water from the bottom tray. 8. Do not allow the seeds to dry out. Lightly mist your garden daily to keep the seeds moist. 9. Keep in a location that is between 65-70 F. - Some seeds will sprout faster than others. 10. When the grasses are 3" - 4" tall, you can treat your kitty to its garden! If you have any further questions please contact us at tina@pioneerpet.com

I germinated mine on a damp, almost we paper towel on a shelf in my southern facing window. As soon as they sprouted, I planted them in small pots. When they were about 6" tall and branched out, I placed them in my garden outside. I am in northern Maine, zone 5, so hoping they will make it through the winter. I have read that they will survive in zone 5, but I've also heard that they won't. Springtime will tell. Hope this helps.

Self watering tray as in it has an absorbent pad and channels that are filled with water, yes. I have have two that I have used all winter in my garage. My seeds germinate super fast, 4-10 days rather then 10-14 day. I should mention that I live in Phoenix and this is why I can start seeds in the garage in the winter.

If you water twice a day, alternate the position of the 4 trays each time you water, and make sure the holes are not stopped up each time you wash, I don't know what else to tell you. Mine has no problems growing and I usually have an edible crop in 4 days.

These seeds didn't germinate. It bought this seeds last year and I got the same issue, they seems too old When I check and open them up they rot inside. You better off buying the melon itself in the produce market and look for those that start turning yellow/yellowish and let it ripe in room temperature until it becomes mushy to touch. Open and if the seed coating are red they have a better tendency to germinate. Just wipe the red coating with paper towel and pick those that look shiny and dark in color, those white ones are no good either. Let dry about three days in room temperature and sow them, within five days they sprout, that's what I did last year and now I have more than enough seeds to grow. These seeds didn't germinate.

My window stays pretty clean. The food in the feeder tends to get wet and the seeds sprout. I just take a paper towel and wipe everything out when I refill it once a week.
