Transplanting

You can transplant your seedlings when they have sprouted above the rockwool hole. This will help prevent them from being pinched off during the transplanting process. Leave seedlings to grow in the nursery tray for another day or two to mature if not.

Before transplanting, consider what seedlings you are putting into the Flex Farm.

For lettuce and larger plants, we recommend planting in a grid pattern (every other plant space). Use every plant space when planting taller, thinner plants like herbs.

Step 1

Before transplanting your seedlings, thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water.

Step 2

Carefully separate an individual rockwool cube from the flat. You can do this by hand separating or using a tool such as scissors or a knife.

Step 3

Insert the rockwool cube with your seedling into a Flex Farm plant space. Grip the edges of the rockwool cube and use a twisting motion as you insert the cube. When properly inserted, the top of the cube should be right below the rim of the plant space.

Step 4

Repeat steps 1-3 until you have planted all your seedlings.
