Starting Stock & How to Tell A Single vs. Double Bloom Seedling : Sunshine and Flora Flower Farm

It's time to start my Stock!!!! This year I am growing all my stock primarily in my hoophouse. I have a couple plug trays ordered, but most if it will be started from seed. In this video I share how I am starting my seeds this year, and how you can tell whether a seedling will be a double bloom or a single bloom.

    Lovely video, as always. Appreciate it. But as usual, this info is popular and easily available online. I wish some expert like you would show the entire process, from seed to harvest, selecting the right planters etc. Also, there seem to be so many different categories that bloom at different times. It is so confusing 😢 the ppl who need to learn the most from such content are mostly home gardeners. 😢 thanks for considering.

    You have a very good eye for color. I guess being a photographer helps. ❄️💚🙃

    I'm starting alot of my seeds this way. Honestly, I have more luck with this than soil blocking. I was really excited for soil blocking...I don't have alot of space. I have shelves/lights, in my laundry room. I always have a late do-over and use promix. So... this yr. more plugs..and starting seeds in trays. I aclimate my zinnias in the seed trays and put them in my small field, with no issues. Going to try stock! good to know about the leaves!

    Thanks for the info. This is the first year I've grown stocks and I was worried I had seeded them too heavily.

    Can you share brand and where you got your mister used today? I've been looking for a quality mister and am unable to find one in my area (SW MO). Thanks so much. Love watching your channel! You give such relevant and helpful information!

    Have you ever tried verbena? I put some in starter trays last week and it said to lightly cover ,but those seeds are so small I was afraid to cover them with soil.

    Hi Christina, do you ever sprinkle vermiculite on top for moisture retention when starting flower seeds? Does using a cover prevent the need for vermiculite? Thanks from Victoria BC!

    What do you recommend potting them up to? Would you transfer them to 128 or 72 trays?

    Where did you get that misting container? I’m looking for something similar with a fine mist to use on my indoor citrus trees.

    I love your mister. Where did you get it? Also, one constructive bit: Katz is a person’s last name and is pronounced Catzz as in kitty cats. It sounds like your saying Cots and in many canvas beds in a tent. Love your vids! Keep up the good work.

    Somehow everyone. Literally everyone shows only sowing seeds. For stocks and lisianthus. That's how far you can get with information online. And then there are harvest videos. And the whole plant/scale etc. nobody talks of it
