I thought that to so I mixed up a little fertilizer to feed them the next time I water them. Since I keep aquarium plants I have the ability to customize my fertilizer mixes

They are definitely not sitting in water. They are doing better since I put potting soil around them. Thanks

Got thanks for the heads up

Have you tried any of the short season and more bush type? Blacktail mountain was developed by a breeder in North Idaho and there's "bush sugar baby" and there's a lot of Russian varieties out there. Rareseeds.com is a great site for melons.

There is a product called drying beads and it was created specifically for drying seeds but for the life of me I can't figure out how to order them.

I use it to help dry corn seeds before long term storage. It turns from Orange to green when it's full of moisture.

Let me pick your brain. Do you use mylar bags for long term storage of your seeds? If not what do you use?

I ordered some of the orange silica gel beads and they sent me the blue kind that has cobalt chloride in them. I was wondering if the blue silica gel will work as well as the orange when it comes to drying desiccant tolerate seeds. I have a face mask and surgical cloves I can wear as well as a...

I like the idea of putting potting soil over them. I have them all individually labeled so using the potting soil will work. I have already mixed up a half gallon of the millers microplex to use also. I love this forum. I wish I would have found it sooner. Everyone is so nice.

Thanks for the response. I believe I have reached the maximum size for these jiffy pellets. In all the years past I always up potted them and I started them earlier. I think I will go back to what I was doing in the past. For this year I am going to use a little fertilizer and harden them off...

My tomato seedlings are getting yellow. The seedlings are 3 weeks old and I am using jiffy pellets as the soil medium. These are the 2nd set of leaves and not the first set of sprouting leaves. I water at the bottom and I have a well for my water sources. My well water is about 7.5ph and my...
