As a new gardener I appreciate these tips sooo much!! Thanks Jag!!

Bottom watering also helps prevent fungus gnats from populating. They love moisture on the surface of the soil. But I also microwave moistened seed starter mix for 90 seconds before use and have never had an issue with them. You can use boiling water instead of microwaving. Just let the soil cool before planting.

The coconut coir also prevents fungus gnats from inhabiting. And two things I really enjoy about your channel: You do things most other gardeners say not to do such as when thinning. Most other gardeners say don't pull them up by the root as you can damage the remaining plant's roots. They say cut them instead. I like how you say make an attempt to keep the one your thinning and transplant it. The second thing I really like about your channel is your beautiful accent. Keep up the great job!

It's good to see how much water you put in the bottom tray. I was being much too minimal! Also I do have good success with gently separating the seedlings and repotting. I don't want to waste because I'd like the largest harvest I can get to share with others. I have found peat pots dry out SO much more quickly so I stopped using them. I love the idea of the huge bin to put soil into trays without making a mess. Thanks!

Hi Jag I love your videos. I discovered you only a few weeks ago but have caught up on all of them. I’m wondering if you have any tips (if there are any) to fix sun burnt seedlings. I’ve always liked to garden, but have never been really serious about it and always bought plants ready to be put in the ground. But this year I bought a small plastic greenhouse and started seedlings for the first time. Some didn’t grow, but next year I’ll try some of your tips, the seedlings that grew looked great. I got excited and started gardening off my seedlings, not watching your video first and sun burnt them. I could cry, they look so sad and dying. Can they be saved or will I have to buy plants again?

I was able to save some money on seed starting trays this year by cutting our car littwe containers in half. I can fit 30 jiffy expanding pellets in there, and the taller walls offer some wind protection here in the Midwest during the hardening off process.

@pegsol3834

Жыл бұрын

What did you cut in half??

Reusing those spinach containers is definity a good idea but I don't know if I would put them in sun or grow lights because of the plastic leaching with UV exposure. Most of those containers are PET/PETE which are number one plastics and the FDA does says they do leach under heat/UV. So I reuse HPE and Polyethylene (2 and 5 respectivity) instead where possible. HPE are like food grade buckets, not clear milk/water jugs, etc. You are likely to find Polyetheylene in flimsy plastic nursery pots. Tougher ones might be HPE.

In North I wouldn't suggest his peat pots, egg shell or TP rolls. Easily mold. We have a long indoor season to prepare either they outgrow or pots mold.

your seedlings looks so lovely. do you use grow lights or just the windows? we have grow lights that we use as our house is so tiny and we just dont have the space in the house and have our starts in the garage!

Sterilize your starting mix/medium by mixing it with boiling water. It will help kill off any gnats residing within and also offer the needed moisture for the soil. Of course wait till soil mixture cools off before planting your seeds.

I live in Lakeland FL and I don't have shelving near windows so is it okay to grow seedlings outdoors or will the heat be too muche?

This is my first year starting seeds inside. I do not have a window suitable for light to get in so I bought grow lights. Setting up next week. Do I really need heat mats? I do have one bedroom where morning only light comes in. This is new for me. Recently found you and I really like how you explain things and get to the point strait away. Thank you for any advice in advance.🙂Also, do I really need that coconut stuff? Sounds like a good idea but I've never heard of it. Need to add I'm in zone 6.

If you are growing in a warm area of your home you do not need heat mats. Most seeds germinate perfectly fine without them. I start almost all my seeds indoors on a shelving unit that I bring into the dining room. While I have two heat mats, i don't usually use them and the seeds are just fine. Often heat mats are used if seeds are started in a cold basement or garage. But even there they are not strictly necessary. I recently watched a video testing germination rates with or without heat mats. All seeds germinated the same way except the ones on the heat mats germinated two or three days earlier (all other conditions being the same). In the grand scheme of things, that's not much of a difference. Light and water are much more important.

I use heatmats as I germinate in my sun room, which is 40s/50s, but if you're germinating in your house which is typical temp (68 degrees), then it's not needed. You don't need grow lights while germinating, but as soon as the seedlings pop up,they do need strong light, or else be transplanted right away to the garden.

I'm in zone 6 as well and having a heat mat would serve well if you're not able to set plants outside in the sun and warmth right now. It's really good for growing things like really hot peppers or eggplant but it's not mandatory that you have one. If you decide not to get one just plant a few extras in case some don't germinate and expect to wait a bit longer for them to come up.

I thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have been very disappointed and discouraged about gardening as I have been trying to get my seeds to germinate without success. I think soaking the seeds will help. Is soaking good for all the seeds? Someone suggested putting seeds in water to test their viability, but they neglected to say how long I'd have to watch and wait; would I be able to know immediately, or maybe it might take all night before I could tell if it was a good seed? These questions may seem silly, but when you don't know, it can be devastating. Especially if it's important. Good gardening is important to me! Furthermore, pressing the seeds down the way you did, along with adding the coconut coir as a top layer, is absolutely the best idea I've heard in a long time. Thank you again for sharing. I don't feel as sad now. 🙂💓💗

@AJR-zg2py

Жыл бұрын

As a general rule, soaking is great for all seeds - and for how long you need to wait to see if they're viable is all dependent on what the seed will grow. I do this with celery plants and they can take up to a week to show viability. Some might only take a few days but generally once you see the sprout emerge from the seed husk... you've got a viable seed :) Once you see the sprout, remove it and plant it in your growing medium - or the sprout will drown and rot in the water.

Hi Jag❤

Great info, jag, but 1 question: I never wanted to use Coco coir (or toilet paper roll) seedling trays because it seems like the seedling will have to struggle to push through the material to extend its roots, and roots will become rootbound. I've heard another gardener echo these thoughts, too. You're sure it won't inhibit seedlings? Maybe I need to do a side by side experiment.

@joanies6778

I have never had an issue with the toilet paper rolls for starting peas. Remember, you have to keep the soil moistened, and moisture breaks it down over time, so it expands quite easily. NOT to mention, the worms love cardboard. Now if you have a hardened cardboard roll like they use for foils, I don't use those for the reason you mentioned... but regular paper towels and tp rolls are easy peasy for roots and breaking down. In fact, I've had them break down before planting before. If you use the peat pots, or any paper-like product, just make sure to bury the tops or cut them away when you transplant your seedlings. That rim above ground will suck all the moisture out of the soil around your seedling in the ground. I just snip it off at time of planting unless it's one I can fill up with more soil and bury the whole thing, mulching over it.

Can u pls guide me so that I can decide wherever I can start my seedlings or not ?
