  1. Thanks again Gary -Concerning what I purchased from you. —Perfect couldn't be more satisfied. Thanks again– Ray Delbury Sussex County NJ USA

  2. Gary, I agree with you completely. For the first watering, I often use a half dose from the recommended amount for the first couple of weeks.

  3. Do you use or recommend a clear seed dome when starting seeds until they sprout or will it promote mold or fungus growth.

  4. Thanks awesome video! I was underfeeding at the larger size stage causing tall spindly seedlings. Hopefully better fertilizer schedule will perfect my starts!

  5. Thank you for reminding me that I need to add fertilizer to my seed starting. It's been 2 weeks and I was starting to wonder why they're still not growing. LOL
