What happens here

Acquire warm, distilled water. The presenter demonstrates using a half-gallon Mason jar filled with water. He specifies that the water should be warm, between 100 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, and ideally distilled or purified to avoid chlorine found in tap water, which can harm beneficial microbes essential for plant growth. Gently pour the entire half-gallon of warm, distilled water directly onto the dry Jiffy Peat Pucks in the tray. The video then speeds up, showing the pucks rapidly absorbing the water and expanding into their full size. It is important to add all the water at once to ensure even expansion and avoid disturbing the already wet pucks later.
