Thank you! Very excited to get started 🥕🌱❤
Planned My Surgery around Seed Starting Zone 7 Delaware. Surgery went Well 2months Out Ready To Organize I Only have 2 tables 8 Led Lights Love your Store
Outstanding information. I started my lettuce, broccoli and spinach this week as well
I got my seeds and seed trays and made my own dirt ….forgot my lights 😅 now cant afford them 😅have to wait a month to start my seed bummer.
Hi Gary,
With this artic blast, I am hibernating until Saturday. Let's see, brassicas-check, onions-check, tomatoes-check, peppers-sprouting, basil-germinating, dill, cilantro, oregano, and marjoram are next on the heat mat. After that comes leafy greens and flowers.
My carrot harvest was better than expected, and I pulled them up from half frozen ground, so they are going to be sweet! The parsnip harvest was small. It was an experimental crop, so I only planted two dozen. They were pulled from ground that was frozen—snow parsnips. I roasted them in the oven. They were sweet with a hint of carrot flavor. Harvesting them after multiple freezes, I believe, changed their flavor with the starches converting to sugar. I'll definitely grow them again in the fall, but in the spring? I'll have to plant another experimental crop to see what the flavor difference is. I may not like how they taste with them harvested in warmer weather. It may be one of those plants that is best eaten after a few frosts, a hard freeze, or two, and a snow storm.
Thank you so much for your videos! I learned a lot from you and really appreciate your insights. I also wanted to mention that I have your book and have found it to be a valuable resource. I have one question for you – since I’m in Maryland zone 7, when would be the best time to start my potato seeds? Thank you
Hey dude, you along with pretty much every other channel showing lighting set ups and they're all different, I don't get it unless I can copy EXACTLY what you have.
These don't help. If I can no longer find the exact lighting you have or make the same kind of station you have because I don't have the space and ALL details matter when it comes to lighting, I don't really learn anything from it other than you have a nice setup.
There is ONE piece of information that's very valuable but yet channels seem to either go by guessing or have done trial and error, which is the same thing I'd have to do with your setup because there are many variables. As an example, where is that area in a given room and in relation to any outside light. What kind of wood was used and how reflective is it, the color of the walls, is it glossy paint, etc…. But the one piece of information, no matter if someone wants to debate it that can really help is the amount of light that's getting down to the top of the plants, and nothing tells me that other than a LUX or PAR meter because it's not the amount of light from the source that matters, it's the amount of light the plants RECEIVE. Meters show what they're likely to receive when you measure the light at the top of the plants or as close to that as possible. It also allows you to see the difference in light across a lighted area.
Follow up on that theme, do a bit of testing with light and THEN make a new video about your lighting area and it will have lots of value to viewers. Otherwise, I know I can't make what you have because my space is limited to a single shelving unit and I have to provide light to 6 shelves, each big enough to hold a single 1020 tray.
One could say it adds cost to have to buy a meter, OK a LUX meter is around $30 USD and most people probably spend WAY more than that for everything they need, so as a percentage of total cost it's probably pretty small for most people. A PAR meter on the other hand is a luxury.
Wick the plants
Other things that affect how much cells dry out, light variation over a single tray, how much air current hits each particular spot on the tray. I can have empty cells dry out. It's not all about water uptake by a growing plant.
Hello everyone good 👍👍👍👍❤❤
