Do you guys uses these Image
And if so do you just drop some seed and little water from tank and place under the sun until you can transplant them?

I've used them years ago. I don't think peat pellets are the best option for AP. Keeping them in the peat would keep the roots too wet in a grow bed. You could use the little hot house and just put some small gravel or perlite in it. Add some app water and keep the gravel most but not wet. Then after the seeds germinate, just gently pull the plants out and plant in your system. Better yet, just direct seed into your grow beds. Water from the top for a few days until seeds germinate and then thin to healthiest plants.

try and use 2 seeds max per cell. Then you can thin the weakest out. You don't waste as many seeds that way. Full sun and keep them moist, but not wet and they should be ready in a few weeks.

Ya I did 3 or 4 per pot and betting it will be to much, but there were a couple that look like they have been a little to wet. It's my first time and I'm taking notes.
