This time , I am prepared to follow specific instructions using the starter kits I purchased. I want to sample test these smaller dome trays /heat mat and little led grow bulbs and the food packet that came with the kit. I can seed some herbs and see how well the grow led bulbs work in advance of my tomato seeds which i will probably start in early-mid April.

The MG seed starter mix is what I use. ( it is the only MG product I use) it worked very well for me. But my seed starting is very different than most because I have to start them in the heat. Usually with the MG though, germination is 2-3 days and they seem to be strong.
