I love this seed starter because of how many cells there are to use! Everything was simple to put together. It came in a nice box neatly packaged. 60 cells in each tray (2 trays). The second tray I decided not to use the cell tray and used other pots I had. Loving it so far and can’t wait to see my seeds grow 🥲

My Guioiby 6 cubes per tray seed starter trays are just what they advertised. I planted different vegetable seeds, put on the tall covers, and put the trays under grow lights a few days ago and I'm starting to see sprouts. I wanted the tall covers so I wouldn't have to transplant the plants as soon as when they are under short covers. It was a little difficult to install the air valve at the top of the cover until I put the valve down on the floor, put the cover right over it, and pushed the cover down onto the air valve. Snap, it's on.I thought that the little tools would not be used but actually I found them very helpful. I transplanted another small plant I had using the little shovel but I did wonder what the forked tool was for until I looked it up online and discovered that it is supposed to help me pull up a plant for transplantation. We'll see how that works when my sprouts need transplanting. But I'm thinking that I'll just push each plant out of its cube by pushing its silicone bottom up so I won't need the fork. Maybe I'll use the shovels to dig the little holes for the cubes out in the yard.Before I put soil into the cubes (which are a good size; not those tiny ones) I added a lot of water and microwaved my soil for 2.5 minutes to kill any nasty pests or eggs. Then I packed the cubes (pushing out excess water), put in the seeds, put on the humidity covers, and put them under grow lights to keep them warm. After a while the humidity covers showed the moisture and it appears that the seeds were happy because they are sprouting. I haven't seen any mold.I used the magic marker to write the names of the seeds on the plastic labels and that worked fine.

I have never grown seeds first in home before planting outside, but I figured I better try. This kit is amazing and contains everything you need to get a perfect seedling started. The bottom of these are silicon so these are reusable which is a big plus.I bought the Organic Coconut Coir to go with this and it provided the perfect soil to grow 9 cherry tomatoes seedlings without any issue. I'm now just waiting until it is warm enough to move this to an outside planter.Very well designed kit and comes with everything except the soil. Very well designed and I plan on using this for years to come to start some of my favorites plants ahead of spring warmer weather.I am no green thumb, but this kit makes it easy to grow from seeds. I love the fact you can control the vent with an adjustable dial. Great overall seed starter kit.

I’m trying to grow my own houseplants from seed. They seem pretty sturdy and work very well. I already have some sprouts after a week. The top is adjustable so you can open and close the little air holes. My only complaint is that the top plastic piece doesn’t click on the the bottom so the top/dome is just sitting on it and can be easily bumped off.

I’m all in on this seed starter kit! It’s got a humidity dome with a knob on top to adjust moisture levels, which is super helpful. Transplanting seedlings is a breeze, just a gentle push from below and it’s done. The drainage system works great, so no worries about overwatering. What I love most is its durability, it’s a one-time buy that you can use for years(that’s what I’m hoping), and it’s even dishwasher safe! I cleaned mine in the dishwasher(only the cell tray) after transplanting, and it came out looking good as new. Highly recommend for anyone getting into gardening!

I bought 2 sets of the 2 x 3 cells, totaling 100 cells. Great seed-starting system. Fun to fill (I use Coast of Maine ‘Island Blend’ organic seed starter — it’s rich yet free of weed seeds and worth the $$$) and assemble. I wasn’t expecting it, but found the tools handy to poke divots into the mix, drop seed, and gently cover. A few important notes:1. About assembly, each set comes with aperture covers you have to push into the plastic domes. The domes’ cut holes are slightly smaller than the apertures’ posts, which are cleaved to pop into the holes. It takes a bit of English to make them snap in. But it’s important that they do. Too, the domes don’t snap onto the cell sets, but that’s good for easy access. Just be careful to never pick the systems up by their domes.2. Unless you want faster germination, don’t use a heating pad. If you do insist on using a heating pad, yank it once your seedlings appear above the soil. Seeds may like warmth to germinate, but once they do, their roots want cold, not warmth. Too, cooler temperatures will encourage robust seedling trunks, rather than stalky growth that aches to escape the heating pad below.3. Seeds like humidity to germinate. At first, keep the dome’s aperture closed. Seeds typically germinate a few days from each other, so once the first few break the soil surface, you can open the aperture to reduce but not eliminate the humidity the dome provides.4. Most seeds do not need light to germinate. In fact, they do very well in near darkness (including refrigerators)! So resist throwing your freshly-planted seeds into direct light or under grow lights.5. Do not fertilize your soil before germination. The seed carries all the plant nutrients it needs to germinate. Only after germination do you need to consider fertilizing.6. Once the majority of your seedlings appear, REMOVE the dome! I repeat — REMOVE the dome! Healthy strong seedlings need (preferably gently moving) air, don’t like high humidity, and will suffer by leaving the dome on.7. Once your seedlings have germinated, the seed casing’s inherent nutrients have been exhausted. Fertilize with an appropriate NPK (nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium) fertilizer. You may want to dilute it to reduce shock. E.g., if your seed’s package advises a ‘balanced’ (10-10-10) fertilizer, consider diluting it by half (5-5-5).8. To encourage root growth, pull the cell sets out of the bases and pour a half inch or so of water (or diluted fertilizer) into the base. Capillary action will encourage deep root growth to draw it all into the plant. Too, base-watering will reduce habitat for fungus gnats, which love exposed wet and humid soils.9. If a tiny bit mold accumulates on the soil’s surface, it’s probably not a big deal, as alarming as it may seem. However, mold CAN be a problem for people whom are allergic or sensitive to the spores. To minimize mold, water less and limit the air flow around the set. In particular, while having a fan near encourages strong seedling trunks, it will send any dry mold spores airborne!Update 8 months later: By now, I’m a total fan of these silicone cell flats and will NEVER go back to terrible root-ripping and dehydrating peat pots (which in truth do NOT ‘biodegrade’ in under two years). The silicone cell corner base slots drain well by design, and allow the fragile young roots to keep growing without causing uppotting ripped-root problems (they ‘release’ with a simple push up). Everything I’ve seeded and started in them has thrived, and survived transplanting. Already, my third round of herb seedlings are ready for uppotting! Now, if I can just figure out what to do with all my fresh herbs! One photo is of 3 silicone flats, and the other photo is of latest transplants, all are mixed basils.
