What happens here

Regularly check the moisture levels in the trays. If the peat pucks appear to be drying out or have not fully swollen, add a small amount of water gently in between the pucks, rather than directly on top, to prevent washing away the peat. Allow the pucks to absorb the water naturally. Remember that peat pucks contain enough nutrients for initial seedling growth, so fertilization is not necessary until the plants are transplanted into the ground.

Goal: Continuously monitor peat pucks for moisture, adding water gently between them as needed to ensure optimal hydration without over-saturating or disturbing the seeds. No fertilization is needed at this stage.
