Jumpstart contains Fulvic acid, thiamine mononitrate, humic acid & seaweed extract. Finished trays need to be placed under a shaded area with high light that filters in. I like to mist the trays 2 to 3 times a day. Do not place the trays in the full sun, even if they are plants that like full sun. You will know the plants are ready to transplant when they are putting on new growth and they are able to be carefully removed from the cell and all the soil comes out with the plant liner (rooted cuttings). You can also look at the bottom of the tray to see if roots have formed in the soil visible through the drainage hole. I like to lightly tug on the cuttings to see if they are starting to root. Be careful doing this because you can pull too hard and rip off the new baby roots. When you transplant the cells into a bigger container I recommend watering them daily for the 1st week and then back it off to every other day. Look closely at the liner to make sure the liner does not go into wilt. Use close observation to know when you need to cut back on watering more than every other day. Most plants need to be kept evenly moist at all times. Too much and the plant will lose roots to rot and disease. Not enough water and the plant will wilt and drop leaves or worse die. |
