How to use

Get Started With Confidence

Step 1: Prepare the Soil

Fill the 6-Cell or 4-Cell Tray with a seed starting mix. Lightly water the soil so it’s moist but not soaked. Gently press the soil down with your finger to remove any gaps, then refill if needed.

Step 2: Plant the Seeds

If your seeds are meant to be surface-sown, press them against the pre-dampened soil but leave them uncovered; some seeds need light to germinate. If they have a planting depth indicated on the packet, use a pencil, chopstick, or your fingertip to make an indentation to the correct depth and drop in the seed.

Step 3: Water the Seeds

Add a light misting of water from a spray bottle or just enough to moisten the seeds, then cover them with soil and lightly press down to ensure no air holes remain around the seed. If you have plastic wrap handy, loosely drape it over the top of the pot to promote high humidity conditions (seeds love this), or use a specialized dome cover.

Step 4: Find the Right Spot

Place your tray on a sunny windowsill or under a grow light, depending on what your seed needs. Keep the soil moist as the seeds start to germinate. Once you see the sprouts, remove the plastic wrap or dome.

Step 5: Care for Your Seedlings

Keep the healthiest seedling in each cell and remove extras with a pair of scissors, being careful not to damage the healthy seedling. Keep watering the soil from the bottom by adding water to the outer tray so the soil stays moist without splashing on the plants.

Step 6: Transplanting

Continue to keep the soil moist as your plant grows. When your plants are about 3 to 4 inches tall, carefully push them out of the tray using the large finger holes at the bottom, and transplant them into bigger pots or directly into your garden.

Helpful Tips:

  • Soil Choice: Use a lightweight, seed-starting mix like peat or coco coir and vermiculite. Avoid heavy mixes or ones with fertilizer.
  • Watering: Water from the bottom and avoid soaking the soil. You can use the condensation on the dome as a guide: more condensation means more moisture.
  • Light: As soon as your seedlings sprout, place them under a grow light for 16 hours a day, with the light 4 to 6 inches above the plants.
  • Transplant Time: Most seedlings are ready to be transplanted after about 4 weeks.

Cleaning Your Epic Starter Cells

We recommend hand-washing with hot, soapy water as the best way to keep the material in good shape for years of use. A good dish detergent should sterilize the trays enough to protect your seedlings.

Simple Step-By-Step Guide To Starting Seeds At Home

Step 1

Use a fine-particulate seed starting soil and pre-moisten it before filling the cell trays. Avoid chunky or woody potting blends that may create air pockets next to your planted seeds.

Step 2

Be sure to follow the sowing depth instructions on your seed packet! Some seeds like to be sown deeply, while others prefer being on or barely under the soil.

Step 3

A germination dome helps retain moisture in the soil. You’ll still need to water, but less often. Check regularly to ensure the soil stays evenly damp during germination and plant development.

Step 4

If your seeds prefer warm soil temperatures, use our seedling heat mat to warm the soil. Our grow lights provide ideal lighting for newly germinated plants until it’s time to transplant.

Step 5

Remove the germination dome when your seedlings are about an inch tall to allow for more airflow.

    I am very pleased with Epic 6 and 4 cells. The quality is immediately evident. They are easy to use and seem like they will last a life time. I will be ordering more and would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

    I was hesitant to purchase any supplies because the prices seemed a bit high. I normally use things like yogurt containers, Solo cups etc, to starts seeds. I got to the point where I was starting enough thinks that space and the amount of cups I could cover with lighting became an issue. I purchased this bundle and start seeds and OMG! The root development on everything that came out of the Epic cells is amazing! I have started hardening these seedlings off and have been having a much easier time that normal with that as well, no doubt because the plants are so much healthier. I plan to slowly expand to all epic cells and trays in the future. They really are built to last.
