Covering the Tray and Initial Soaking

What happens here

After planting all the seeds, place the clear plastic cover provided with the Jiffy kit over the seed tray. This cover helps create a mini-greenhouse effect, maintaining humidity and warmth essential for germination. Let the covered tray sit undisturbed for approximately 3 to 4 hours, allowing the water to fully soak into the peat pucks and settle. Once the seeds have germinated (typically after 2-3 weeks, as shown by the presenter), remove the lid. The presenter also demonstrates a labeling system: cutting off the top of the seed packet and taping it to the side of the tray, indicating the plant type and the number of rows planted for organization.

Goal: Create a humid environment and allow initial soaking for germination
