Garden Seed Starting Kit
We have put together everything a grower needs to propagate seedlings in one convenient kit. Wanting to try to grow your vegetable starts from seed this year? We have thought of everything, so you don't have to. Seeds can be propagated much earlier using artificial light, heat mats, and the proper trays.
Included
(80) multi-color 2.5" pots
(2) 32 cell trays
(2) 1020 shallow no hole
20x20 heat mat
(1) multi-function 40W LED grow light w/ clamp
Features
Cell trays- Grower's can start more varieties in a smaller space using cell trays. Cell trays are specifically designed to help your seedlings form proper root systems and allow for proper drainage to avoid mold issues. Each cell measures 2” square by 2” deep. Outer Dimensions: 21 1/4” x 11 1/4” x 2” Deep
2.5" pots- These seedling pots come in multi-colors, perfect for color-coding varieties and add a little fun to the project. Made of recyclable Polypropylene (#5), these pots include 1/4" drain holes and are 3" tall and measure 2.5" X 2.5".
Heavy-Duty Shallow 1020 trays- We include 2 shallow with no holes for use with watering and transport
20 x 20 heat mat- Using a heat mat helps speed up germination and allows the grower to start seeds in a cooler environment such as a garage or basement.
LED grow light- This light has a red/blue (12 blue chips, 24 red chips) led combination that promotes germination. It comes with (3) timer setting options, allowing for up to 3, 6, or 12 hrs., depending on the plant's needs. The 5 dimmable modes allow the grower to control lighting strength, ensuring the best start for new seedlings. We love the 360º adjustable gooseneck that allows for lighting a wider area.
There are very few products out there that you buy once and it will keep on serving you. These can be reused year after year instead of ending up in the garbage can or landfill, so good for you and good for the environment. You pay a little more, but you save over time. I am absolutely sold on Bootstrap products.
What I like about the kit is that the plastic trays and dome are made of a very sturdy material, not like the flimsy trays I have used in the past. It was difficult to move full trays when they were not rigid. These trays are quite rigid and I think will make moving them much easier. They also seem like they will hold up longer with normal usage.
It was convenient to get everything I needed for a small seed starting in one package and I didn't have to search around for all the parts. It has the mesh bottom insert that seems to be necessary for use with soil blocking, so that was a big plus to me.
I am going to try the soil blocking, so I'm excited to try the blocker. Just getting everything set up now. However, the blocker seems to be in good working order even though I haven't actually used it yet.
One thing I think would improve the website is mentioning in the item description that the plastic is much sturdier than ones mostly seen in the stores. I wasn't quite sure that it was the sturdier version, but I decided to take a chance. Just making that clearer in the description would have been helpful. (i.e. "these trays and domes aren't the flimsy version you find in most stores!") I am sure people more used to using greenhouse products know that, but people new to that might not.
