How Nurseries do it! - Seed germination using Coco peat or coco coir.

Everyone of us want to have a great garden with bounty harvest. Most of the vegetable plants are started from seeds. Having a good start in the process helps produce the best harvest.
Seed starting is the first step in a vegetable garden and in this video I reveal the method large nurseries use to produce seedlings in huge numbers with great germination rate.
This video is the answer if you have the any of the following questions.
1. How to start seeds using coco coir
2. How to germinate seeds with cocopeat
3. How to start seeds using peatmoss (procedure is same)
4. How to start seeds for your hydroponic garden or a farm.
I conduct online trainings on Hydroponics and related topics.

"Not a place to show your strength"! I am your new subscriber and believe i will learn a lot here

[@suryanarayanan1617]

A great video with a lot of knowledge. Appreciate it mainly as I do Home Gardening

[@tunkara-pu2pu]

Long time I don’t see new videos. You demonstrations is one of the best, i rush to your channel when I got into trouble

[@tangobayus]

This is an excellent demonstration. Thanks.

[@terrim.602]

I learned so much info on your video! I binge watch seed starting videos and have never heard anyone explain the connection between immediately exposing the seedling to light at germination which can prevent legginess. This is a huge problem for me. I hope to find more on your channel about getting thick stalk s without legginess. Thank you, thank you!

[@TheGeekgardener]

I am glad you liked my videos. Yes. exposure to sunlight can make the seedlings stocky! and healthy. Happy gardening

[@DG-iw3yw]

Airflow and strong light, also certain wavelengths of light promote stretching too.

[@tangobayus]

This is worth watching at least twice :)

[@singaravelk8671]

Really good explanation sir superb

[@derickdagonia2104]

C une très bonne idée cela

[@michaelorhan1842]

You're welcome!

thanks for sharing I am new subscriber 🙏❤👍

[@TheGeekgardener]

Thanks for subbing!

[@indianb1918]

Did you soak the seeds before germination ?

[@mausamprasad5128]

How do you fertilize the seedlings after a week?

[@gardenbee583]

Sir, how do you get those pelletted seeds?

[@anthonypalmer329]

Hi, great video! Can you advise the next step being how many times to water nutrients per day as we live in a hot climate without risking rotting?

[@TheGeekgardener]

Thanks. Once the seedlings germinate, it is critical we move them to full sunlight. When plants are given full sunlight, they grow well consuming the water and fertilizer we feed them. We water the plants in two ways 1. For smaller setups, they are top watered using a watering can with a rose head. This works well. You need to thoroughly water all seedlings to a point the water drains from the bottom. Remember the seedlings in the corner lose more water than the ones in the middle. Compensate for that. If required a second watering is done later in the day. This really depends on the size of the tray and the volume of growing. media in it 2. For larger setups, we use a flood table where the seedlings are bottom watered. Hope this helps

[@anthonypalmer329]

Thanks very much!

[@vincentbado1313]

Excellent, thanks. What color of plastic (white or black) do you recommend to cover the seed tray during the 2-3 days of germination? Thank you again

[@TheGeekgardener]

You can choose any color as long as the covered tray is not kept under full sun. We keep it in the shade till first sign of germination is seen. Between black and white,I prefer white. It allows us to see without opening.

[@vincentbado1313]

@@TheGeekgardener Many thanks

[@jumgamloyi4660]

How often I should water the plant after just getting germinated? And how long we should expose the plants in sun ? Please help my germinating plants are dying before becoming ready for setting up in nft outdoor hydroponics kit.

[@user-so3uk9os4k]

Sad to hear that. More sad coz they don't even reply 😂

[@user-pd7qv9xm8w]

Hi have u done one for water melons

[@TheGeekgardener]

The nursery stage for watermelon is short approx 10 to 14 days.

[@sohamdasgupta7990]

Where do I get pelleted lettuce seeds?

[@mausamprasad5128]

What do you feed the seedlings after 2 leaf stage as cocopeat doesn't have nutrients?

[@DG-iw3yw]

Plenty of coco suppliers add nutrients. Plus seedlings shouldnt need fertiliser for the forst couple weeks

[@srjkpndt]

After how many days after sowing, seeds need nutrients from the growing medium and how do you provide nutrients to the plant?

[@srjkpndt]

Because what i have heard is cocopeat do not contain any nutritional value usable by the plants.

[@DG-iw3yw]

Unless it comes added of course, which suppliers do it turns out

[@ali333291]

After germination starts, should we put it in direct sunlight or indirect sunlight?

[@TheGeekgardener]

Direct light

[@hatorihanzo3431]

can you reuse cocopete for gemination?

[@DG-iw3yw]

Substrate is often sterilised or pasturised for home mycology, the same can be done here

[@jinal2147]

It is grown in plastics
