You have a great set up!!!! 😊

[@budgetgardeningvita]

Thanks so much! It's kind of funny having it in the main living space of my home, but with both kiddos in college now, I hardly have anyone over so I guess it's ok. Now I just talk to and baby my plants... 😂♥

i am outside Boston and on CAPE COD and just found the channel. Been sowing indoor seeds for 3 years now. I have similar setup (smaller scale) and have my own video of the setups. LOVE your grow room

Hello neighbor! Thanks for sharing. Are you ready for the cold next week? I think it's a great time for us to take advantage of this cold weather and start some seeds indoors Happy gardening! 🌻

[@gregbluefinstudios4658]

my plan is onion seeds next week. @@budgetgardeningvita Spicy peppers the week after, bell pepper week after. It gives me time to get them onto heat mats, shoot the process, and edit and post the videos. this week's video (in editing at the moment) is all about my favorite New England area gardeners!

Thank you for explaining your set up. It is very nice. Really like the idea of the LED shop lights vs the grow lights. ❤

[@beufordjustice4949]

Great system, it looks fantastic; have you had any issues with the seedlings in the middle of the shelf where the gap is between the lights or issues with the seedlings on the outside edges? Do you place the led lights the same distance from the seedlings as you would the flourescents? Thank you for sharing. Take care ps, I will check some more of your videos as you mentioned towards the end

[@budgetgardeningvita]

Thank you. I haven't any issues with the seedlings in the middle where the gap is. They seem to get enough light from both shop lights. Fluorescent bulbs get very hot whereas LED do not, so my experience has been that you can put the lights a little bit closer to the plants with the LED. I like my LED lights to be about 1-2" above my seedlings. ♥🌷

How on earth to you water in there?

[@budgetgardeningvita]

Great question. I bottom water everything. Each 10x20 tray has a solid bottom to it. I just lift a 6pack, add 1-2" of water, and replace that 6-pack. The plants wick up the water from underneath. I then pour out any excess water so that the plants don't just sit in standing water. 😊
