[@judyingram-kh1vm]

Little Janey, thank you, thank you, thank you. I didnt have a clue how to do this. I having been gardening for years, but i never had any luck with seed starting in the house. You have to have the right tools. Great information, great channel. Love you.❤

[@tonnamartinez4148]

Very thorough and helpful. Thank you!

[@lisarivera8750]

I just watched like 20 videos and this is the best one! Thank you.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Aaah Lisa! Thanks for the great comment! I appreciate you watching! 😘💕💗

[@SusanSullivanSumy]

This is the best seed starting video I've watched on youtube! Thank you, I learned so much.

[@ThePieceFullGarden]

I feel so much more confident and ready for seed starting! Thank you for sharing all the details, very helpful.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thank you Melissa! I’m so excited for your garden this year!

[@tamswrinkleintime4936]

Hello from Texas, zone 8a. Please take us along when you start your cool flower seeds indoors. I am planning on starting some and would love to see your process. 😊

[@patriciahankel911]

Your info is so well done. Thank you for being a Gardner

[@southernsweetie1473]

Very informative thank you this will be my first year trying to grow from seeds.😊

[@SproutingPathsHomestead]

Great video! I can't wait to start our seeds - my favorite time of year. I get to play with dirt despite snow being on the ground lol 😆 🌿❤

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thank you! I know I’m excited too! As soon as the holidays are over I start getting the itch! 😉

[@heidijones1516]

Exactly the detailed explanation I needed to launch into seed starting. Thank you Janey!!

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Excellent advice Janey 🌸🦋🌸

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Jasmine!

[@hectormorfin6153]

Once again so glad I found your channel. I’ve never heard another gardener say. That you should assign numbers on your calendar weeks. That is such a game changer especially when it comes to last frost date. It will dramatically help with the seed starting and planning out my flower garden.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Hi Hector! Thank you so much! I learned that from watching random plant growers on youtube! It's crazy where a youtube rabbit hole can take you! Thanks for watching and the sweet comment!

[@yesidtac7863]

Woooo amazing

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thank you Yesid! ❤️

[@cathywright4133]

Janey, what is the distance you have between your seedlings and your light?

[@giniambrosino5167]

Just bought my grow lights (same ones you have) and was wondering if you need to move them up and down with the growth of the plants or do the led lights stay stationary. I’m enjoying your channel a lot even though it makes me homesick for NorCal and Green Acres. I moved to SoCal 3 1/2 years ago and haven’t found a nursery I like as much as much.

[@Evie_does_it]

I’m really enjoying and learning a lot in this series... thank you ❤️

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Yay thank you so much for watching! 💗

[@AshlynLocke]

I bought all of the supplies you recommend and my seedlings are doing amazing!! I love your videos. How close should my light be to the seedlings?

[@kfetter9046]

Excellent video! Lots of great info for seed starting.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thank you so much! That is very nice to say! Have a great evening my friend! 😘🥰😘

[@karenbaker5485]

Great info. Thanks for sharing.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks so much Karen! That is a very nice thing to say 😘

[@patriciahankel911]

What are the self units you that have in use ?

[@unclejimca6783]

Question about the lights. Are you using regular fluorescent bulbs or specialized grow lights?

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

They are 5K Lumen LED shop lights. The link is in the description from where I got them from Walmart. The temp mimics grow lights!

[@AshlynLocke]

How long should I leave the overhead light on for my seedlings?

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

14-16 hrs

[@lustraveller717]

I love Johnny Seed and last year I wanted to order from Floret but everything was sold out. Is that where you got the beautiful snapdragons seeds? I've always loved seeing Laura's snapdragons and wanted to grow them.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Hi Lu! I got the madame butterfly snaps from Johnny Seed! They are soooo perfect in arrangments- you should definitely try them! 🌸💕

[@judyruelas7101]

Just found your channel. I'm in 10b. I have a 4x8 space that I will be starting with cut flowers for the 1st time. You have been very informative. I haven't been able to find a gardener that I could follow hear in zone 10b. I've been following Garden Answer with Laura , Flower Hill Farm with Nicole, and Danielle from Northlawn Flower Farmer. Do you happen to know of any Gardner in zone 10b?

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Hi Judy! Thanks for stopping by! I don’t know any KZbinr in 10b but if I were you I would go on instagram. There are a ton!!! One IG account I like is Loretta at myazcottagebloomss. She is in Arizona (which is still 9b but might be closer to your climate) I’m soooo excited for you good luck! 🌷🌻🌸

[@judyruelas7101]

Thank you

[@jenniferhooks2454]

What kind of shelving do you use for your seed starting station?

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

It is a really old shelf from ikea!

[@jenniferhooks2454]

@@DigPlantWaterRepeat thanks, that was a good video on seed starting.

[@Kat-mf7mt]

Hi Jamie, how long do you keep your grow lights on for? I'm growing flowers for fun but I want my seedling to be able to be healthy before transplanting into the outside. I'm currently unsure if I should invest in grow lights or this set up at the get go. Thanks!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Hi Kat, I usually have my grow lights on for 12-16 hrs. I would say grow lights are pretty necessary if you want to start seeds indoors. I’ve done it both ways (lights and window) and it just makes a huge difference. There just isn’t enough light thru the windows. Just get a cheap one and it should work just fine! Hope that helps! 💗

[@mermaid2525]

What is the shelf you have the lights attached to?

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

That shelf is from ikea a few years back. I just checked the website and it looks like they stopped making it but they have a few that look very similar! Thanks for stopping by!
