STARTER GUIDE
GROWING SEASONS
Use this seedling mat to get a head start on
the gardening season. Start the germination
process during late winter or spring, especially
if you are in a colder region.
GERMINATION
Different seeds require different temperatures to
germinate. Before you begin, refer to your seed
package and the table on the seedling mat for
recommended temperature settings.
TEMPERATURE
If your seed packet does not specify a
temperature, keep the temperature between
65°F and 75°F (18-24°C).
Note: Make sure to also keep track of the
ambient room temperature; along with your
local weather, this can also affect your
germination process.

14
STARTER GUIDE
SOWING SEEDS
Sow 2-3 seeds per cell; not every seed will
germinate. Cover the seeds completely with
your grow media. Set the optional humidity
dome over the tray. Place the seed tray on the
seedling mat and turn it on to begin heating.
HUMIDITY
Humidity domes and plastic covered pots can
be used alongside the seedling mat to introduce
moisture, which help accelerate plant growth.

15
STARTER GUIDE
LIGHTING
If you have a lot of light coming into your
home, you may place the container by a bright,
south-facing window. Rotate the tray daily.
Be careful when using the seedling mat along
with grow lights; this may dry out your soil and
overheat your seedlings’ roots.
WATERING
Before you use your seedling mat, water your
seed tray’s starter mix/pellets, which should
appear dark brown. Dry off any excess water.
Add small amounts of water whenever the mix/
pellets appear light brown.
Once the seeds begin to germinate, prop up
your greenhouse dome about 1-1.5 inches.
When half of the tray has germinated seedlings,
remove the tray from the seedling mat and
greenhouse dome.
