Has Anyone Used Jiffy Pots to Start their Seedlings?

Soil in jiffy pots?

They tend to dry out quickly, especially outdoors or with ample ventilation. They can also develop some mildew/mold easily but that is most likely harmless. I'd rip the bottom off at least before transplanting, taking care not to disturb the roots too much.

No no, sorry I meant that pic was taken nine days ago. As of that picture they were about 19 days old from the time they sprouted.

I am honestly not the guy to ask about outside plants. I am on my first indoor run and still learning a ton of great into by the minute.

As far as the pellets, they hold water really well and all I can tell you for sure is that you wont need to nute them for at least the first two to three weeks. Water alone kept my seedlings happy while they were in the pellets.

i started under 24hr cfls and the humidity dome, soon as i saw the taproot coming out the bottom of the pellets, i transplanted to the bigger pots
i also did one into a party cup then a bigger pot and saw no difference
NOTE* i used tomato jiffy pellets, from what i understand, their taller and larger than regular ones

thats actually the dome they came in... it worked great for me
i watered once to prepare them, and after that i just heavily sprayed the pellets when they got a little dry, i have a small sprayer and it made things easy to control
