Hi ZenMan,

Thank you again for the education. I guess I do need a brush up on biology. 🥵

I now have confusion on seed starting indoors for breeding:

1. Do you personally ever use cell packs or do you use small pots when starting or growing your seedlings the first 3-5 weeks? Does using one or the other affect the overall health / growth, seed production of the plant?

2. I watched a video today where seeds were started with the paper towel method. Once germinated, they were planted in cell packs with potting mix.

I thought seedlings shouldn't have potting mix until roots were better established (3-5 weeks?)

As always, I am grateful for your help.
