use guide
1. Activation: Start by hydrating the Growing Medium in water. Allow the cubes to absorb water until they expand and become fully saturated.
2. Arrangement: Place the moistened Growing Medium cubes into individual planting pots or trays, ensuring they are level and well-spaced.
3. Planting: Utilize the pre-formed holes on the top surface of each cube to insert your seeds. There's no need to create additional holes; the existing ones are designed for optimal seed placement.
4. Protection: Cover the planting pots or trays with a humidity dome or clear plastic to create a greenhouse-like environment. This helps to retain moisture and warmth, aiding in quicker germination.
5. Development: Once your seedlings show significant growth, typically after developing two to three true leaves, they are ready for transplantation. Transplant them into your preferred growing system or soil.
6. Care: Maintain a consistent watering schedule and ensure adequate lighting for your plants. Monitor the nutrient levels and adjust as necessary to support healthy plant growth and development.
