You really don't have to discard them. Snaps, especially. They are easy to transplant, I break apart the Jiffy cube and either plant in 6 pack cells or Jiffy peat pot strips. I routinely plant more smaller seeds on a Jiffy then when big enough to handle transplant them. This year I started Kniphofia, celosia, and Blue bedder salvia that way. I just started several Jiffys of Rainbow coleus, the seeds are tiny, but once germinated they grow fast. Every one is transplanted to it's own cell pot.
Back to the thread, I planted pelleted Achillea, Summer Pastels. It appears every pellet germinated, can't wait to see them bloom. Here you see the seedlings of pelleted Achillea, plus the cell packs of celosia started in Jiffys and transplanted. Remember the old saying "Smallest plants, Bestest colors". What this means is, do not discard all small seedlings and save only the large vigorous ones.
