Great tips, thanks!
Does this apply to leeks, too? I’d love to just start all my onion-type seeds at once and shepherd them along the same way if that’s doable.
Yes..flop to a crop!
Does this apply to bunching green onions and chives?
Perfect timing! I was planning to start my onions today
Why not keep using a cell tray, but sprinkle the onion seeds over half the tray?
Same question as others….Would you do the same for Leeks?
Thank you! Just going to plant some onions, I definitely kept mine too wet last year.
I switched from sets to seeds a few years ago. Total game changer! I’ll never use sets again.
My trouble is at transplating time. I've had onions looking like what you have the past two years. They've seemed really healthy, I harden them off for a week or so and then when I put them in the ground, they shrivel and die within a week. Last year I did manage to get about a dozen survivors.
I think maybe they just haven't been big enough. I saw something about them having leaves the diameter of a pencil?
I'm hoping the 3rd time is the charm 😂
I think I’m going to restart my onions. Hopefully it’s not too late to get them going…? The ones I have now are looking a little rough and I definitely didn’t plant enough of them. Thanks for the info! 👍
I came to the comments to ask.. and saw others had the same question. What about leeks? 🙂
I am growing onion from seed for the first time this year. Thank you so much for your videos. I would not have known to prune them or how long to leave the lights on.
Growing onions for the first time this year. Thanks for the tips!!!
In zone 8A NTX, we plant seeds in ground in October and every Jan, then again in February, freezing temps “zap” the 1st few inches of every plant. I have yet to see any of them show signs of suffering adversely. Even on some super hard freezes the entire stems down to the small bulbs get damaged and then cut off before they become slimy and the bulbs stir end up being baseball sized or bigger. As finicky as they can be with their roots, they are much more resilient when it comes to their tops.
I planted mine in seed trays and now they are about 2in tall. Should I transplant them to bigger pots until I can move them outside?
Most important information is about the light requirements. Thank you. I'm starting mine now in Florida, and when my vacation is over, I will bring them back to MA. JUST in time to put in the ground!
Last year I grew onions multi sown as you suggested with Trifecta and everyone including myself was blown away by how big they got! I'm still using my onions as they are still storing well. I just started this years onions!
I’m ready to give up on onions they are driving me crazy.
Helpful, Luke. Thanks.
What about using a heat mat and or humidity dome for onion seeds?
How did you know my onions were failing? 😂 great tips, thanks!
Is it too late for me to start onions? Zone 5b
