Germing in peat/jiffy pellets for the first time. I have my 300w Chinese led around 2' away and these things seem to be drying out daily. Should I be watering a little every day?

I wound up cutting the bottoms off and burying them in soil part way. Even so lost 3 of 5 viable seedlings
Don't hold back tell us what you think! HaHA!They suck. I would never use them again
I think overnight 12 hours is enough or when the seed sinks when you tap on it...you know it's taken in water then. That and adding a bit of seaweed extract has given me 100% germination. Seaweed has something in it that stimulates them pretty quickly.Hello Cannbidoscar,
I personally would not pop a seed any other way. I love Jiffy pucks. I have tried the paper towel method but with very little success. I have not lost a single seed since switching my method over to Jiffy pucks in a humidity dome. I just soak in a glass of water for 24 hours and then place them very shallowly into a pre soaked jiffy with a little super thrive added to the mixing water. I also have a heat mat under the dome and T5 lighting.
Within a day or two the seedlings emerge and once their first true leaves are well established and the second set has started I transfer the puck into a solo cup. I have never had a reason to cut the Jiffy puck mesh material. Roots are strong and make easy work of this thin mesh in my grow room. Perhaps some knock off brands have tougher material?
