OMG, surprised at the comments. If you can not stand to thin them out, then only put one seed per pot, with some of the small seeds good luck with that. If you do not thin them with a clump of 3 they all die instead of at least one surviving. Even with transplanting with the roots disturbed the survival rate is even less.

I prefer to start my seeds in flats and then transplant to individual cells when they are that size. Takes a little time but Im not wasting all those beautiful seedlings. I enjoy giving away all my extra plants to others. Everyone is always so grateful to get them and it makes gardening for me so satisfying.

No need to waste all those plants. I SPREAD my seeds in standard open trays, then when large enough I transplant them in larger pots or packs for sale in my greenhouse.
A few varieties don't like transplanting, but most don't mind. Otherwise I enjoy all your videos. Ps. I sell Proven Winners plants, also.

I try to plant just 1 seed per compartment, but if more seeds germinate I have always had luck in transplanting and then I just give the extra plants to someone in need. It is not hard to transplant, but it does take extra time. I do love watching your videos Laura! I look forward to it every night!

I planted 1000 plus snap dragon seeds in 40 cells idk how much in each cell cause I just sprinkled. Did I just make a huge mistake? Will any survive? Or did I just waste 99 percent of my seeds if theres 1000 plus seeds I cant imagine how much I put in just one small cell

Why do you cut them off and not pull them out? Or, might it disturb the roots in the cell? Laura thank you for this. Love it! Im living vicariously through you. Its too cold here for anything like that but Im ready to get started. Okay, you answered my question.

I have found I have just as good success with my seedlings by gently pricking out the extras and repotting them. It is easy to do and you don't have to sacrifice the spares. So don't despair all you who can't stand to cut the extras, you can save them!

is their any way that you could instead pull the extra seedlings and put them into another flat? i just get so sad with each snip and I'm imagining having 30 vs 200 snapdragons in a drift and the later makes my heart flutter with excitement

Um
For those of you feeling sorry for the cut up seedlings (including myself) remember that you could either repot the cut up seedlings or remove the contents of the whole cell and separate into individual plants and pot them up separately.
