Martin,
Heartland Hydrogardens. They are more expensive buying just a tray or two (this place sells them by the case far cheaper) but I didn't want to spend $90 to see if they might work.
I'm glad I tried the Chard in them, I hope to grow about 500 plants next year and if this one test is indicative, I could transplant them in less than three weeks after sowing them!
An odd thing: I took the ones where the toms died out of the tray and let them completely dry. They crumbled - totally and completely, almost into dust.

Here's a pic of how the toms look. I didn't record the exact date but these plants were sown less than a month ago, as I ordered the sponges on October 12, they were shipped on the 14th, so I likely didn't get them until the 18th. None of the plants are quite 2" tall yet but look at the leaves!

Which one is this one? Is it the biodome plugs? I ordered some rapid rooters, just to try them out. Your tomatoes look nice
and stocky. I am not growing hydrophonically, just want to use as seed starters.
nice any updates?
