This seed starting bundle is a complete kit designed to help beginners or experienced gardeners start their seeds before transplanting them to their garden or outdoor space.
About Our Seed Starting Essentials:
Our 6-Cell Seed Starting Tray was built with both the ease of gardening in mind. The large finger holes at the bottom of our Seed Starting Trays make it easy to remove plants without tools—just push them out with your finger! In addition, their durability is unmatched. All are rigid, yet flexible and practically unbreakable, meant to last the rest of your life. That means no flimsy starter pots and trays that don’t last more than one or two seasons.
The Bottom Tray makes watering easier by allowing you to water from the bottom, keeping things clean and simple when starting seeds indoors. Each 1020 UBT holds up to 12 6-Cell starter trays.
A heat mat and grow light are also included. With these you get a head start on the season, and sow your heat-loving plants in a controlled environment where they develop strong stems and supple leaves. They ensure you have the right levels of light and heat to support your tomato, pepper, and eggplant seedlings as they grow indoors.

How To Use
How To Use
Step 1: Prepare the Soil
Fill the 6-cell tray with 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
Make a small hole in the soil using your finger or a pencil (about twice the size of the seed).
Drop the seed in and cover it lightly with soil. Some seeds need light to germinate, so if the seed packet says this, don’t cover the seeds.
Step 3: Water the Seeds
Give the seeds a light layer misting of water, just enough to moisten the top layer.
Cover the tray with a plastic wrap or dome to keep humidity in. Poke a few holes in the plastic for ventilation.
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 sprout.
Once you see the sprouts, remove the plastic or dome.
Our Heat mat is included for seeds that love a little extra warmth! Simply place your Heat Mat under your 1020 tray and watch your seeds grow happy and healthy.
Use our grow light to give your seeds and seedlings all the light they need. Whether its in your garage or on your kitchen counter you have the ability to provide the lighting environment that your seeds need to grow healthy and strong.
Step 5: Care for Your Seedlings
When the seedlings grow, trim off any extra ones, keeping the strongest plant in each cell. As the seedlings begin to grow, you will want to keep the strongest plant in each cell. To do so, trim off any extras that are growing within each cell.
Keep watering the soil from the bottom by adding water to the outer tray so the soil absorbs it without splashing on the plants.
Step 6: Transplanting
When your plants are about 3-4 inches tall, carefully push them out of the tray using the large finger holes, and transplant them into your garden or bigger pots.
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 seedlings sprout, place them under a grow light for 16 hours a day, 4-6 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 seedlings.

Our Germination Domes and Bottom Trays are made from thick, durable PVC plastic that can handle high temperatures and sunlight, giving you many years of use without cracking.
