Can I use Jiffy 7 Peat Soil 42mm Pellets Seeds Starting Plugs in the cells?

I don't think so. They are meant to be used on their own and are too fat for the cells. But you could put them on a tray on the warming pad and put the clear dome over the top.

I wouldn't think so. This is for pellet/crystalized products for week killer and fertilizer. It could also spread seeds -

The peat plugs are 1 3/4" in diameter. They expand to about 2"dia. x2" high. I don't know what a Hydrofoam germination cell is so I can't answer the question specifically.

I would just use regular seeds. The pods are for outside or a metal planter. Good luck!

The castings are very fine particles. I used them as part of a soil mix I was blending for my organic raised beds, I can't say how direct planting seeds in the castings would do, but imagine it might be a bit of overkill for them in the nutrient department. It's a costly additive where a little goes a long way. Try adding it to a quality soil with a bit of compost instead, and consider the castings as a form of fertilizer. Best of luck!

I would suggest using a starter fertilizer instead. I believe that this particular bag does not have enough phosphorus, which your seeds need.

Yes, depending on seed size. You will have to test and adjust a couple of times.

Yes you can use the broken ones. I grow orchids semi-hydro. They do well with Hydroton pellets, whole or broken. There aren't that many that are broken. But you will also find that there are some very SMALL pellets also.

You could put them in nursery pots, but (depending on the size of the pot) you might have to add starter mix to fill in the extra space... in which case you might as well just use starter mix and save some money. The root plugs actually fit perfectly in certain styrofoam cell trays - the ones that "float" in a tray of water (something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Quick-Start-Germination-Tray-Dome/dp/B00D998WWC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1392693000&sr=8-2&keywords=styrofoam+seedling+trays) . With those ones you add water to the tray by pouring it along the side or by gently pouring it on top of the styrofoam. As for replanting, you will have to replant somewhere. The plugs alone are not sufficient to support a maturing plant (but they are excellent to start them in). You can put them in a bigger pot (that is the final destination for the plant) or you can transfer the plugs to a bigger pot, let them grow there for a few weeks, then transfer to the garden... but I've had success transplanting the plugs straight into the garden without "upsizing" to a bigger container first, so an in-between size is not mandatory. Hope that helps!

Not sure what you had in mind but I use whole kernel corn. I'm sure pellets would be fine.

Try these, they will work Flora Root Plugs 100CT (Great for seedlings or cuttings!)

I hydrated the pellets to full saturation, poked a hole about 1/2 inch down, and put the seed there. These pellets work really well.

It can be reused however I would not start seeds in it I would use growdan. Cubes to start my seeds or root riot blocks and then once they are rooted I would use the coco chips

This does NOT include peat pellets, it just had 72 empty cells. I filled them with seedling mix.

If it's not too big of chunks it should be ok. I have put laying pellets in mine and that works.

These plugs are great for a starter kit...can even be put in a small dixie cup...You want to water from the top because they are root plugs...you trying to get the plant to root As far as the transplant...just transfer in the root plug to your dirt or planter n it breaks down into soil. ..love these

yes, just make sure hopper is clean and closes fully or you will lose a bit of seed.
