That's what I was told but mine dried out and the seeds died after cracking open the shell.A Jiffy pellet is for germinating a seed., you don't need to worry about water, because after it's soaked you never water it again.
You keep the pellet covered so no moisture can escape, once the seed has broken surface you plant it in your growing medium.
I replanted the seed In a new jiffy and made sure it stayed moist by means of spraying inside the dome each day and that did the trick.
