Hi,

My name is Sheena, been lurking for a couple of months or so and have a
question. *I recently brought a Jiffy professional seed starting greenhouse.
The one I brought is designed to start 72 plants. *My question is if I have
to fill up the entire greenhouse or can I just use about 1/3 of the space?
My husband convinced me to buy the big one instead of one of the smaller
ones with talk of some seeds not starting and others dieing but the more I
think about it I really don't want to use up all the pellets. *I am only
going for to actual plants.

Thank you,

Sheena

yeah, partial fill is just fine. like everybody says, the main thing
is lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of light. i eventually put
my seed starting on hold, because i just couldn't give them enough
light, even with tons of work lights and grolux etc.

Some seeds need light to germinate, others don't. Some in this group
have found that florescent work lights work well to germinate seeds and
start young plants (and are a hellava lot cheaper than grow lights).

The second element, though, is a hot pad (set on low) to raise soil
temps, placed under the greenhouse tray..
