Seed Starting 101!

Spring is on its way and I for one can’t wait! I popped over to O’Toole’s Garden Centers for some supplies and started to grow some plants!

Pre moisten the soil before filling the pots. That way when you top water right after planting the seeds, the water isn’t pushing the seeds deeper into the soil. And it’s best to bottom water after that, otherwise fungus gnats can be a big problem.

[@IAmHisBeloved5]

You can sprinkle vermiculite on top of the soil to prevent fungus gnats.

[@deboz8793]

@@IAmHisBeloved5 - True. I've used that and sand also. I had a lot less fungus gnats this year after I used sand and vermiculite. And those that got thru, those yellow stickies help capture them also.

[@IAmHisBeloved5]

@@deboz8793 I’ve never tried sand. Thank you for sharing. Did you add both (sand and vermiculite)? Or did you add one or the other?

[@deboz8793]

@@IAmHisBeloved5 I just used sand mostly. The only time I used vermiculite was when I was too lazy to get my jar of sand from the other room, and the vermiculite was close at hand. 😅

[@IAmHisBeloved5]

@@deboz8793 lol I understand

[@MaskedSongs122]

Instead of a beat mat and light I just put my plants in the oven OFF with the light on, and I use egg crates instead of store bought compost able.

Knowing my luck I'd be having baked sprouts for dinner 😂

Wow your market has everything I enjoy planting

[@PintuMahakul]

👍 An excellent and amazing video. We highly appreciate your effort and time.

[@emilyburkhardt9212]

I saw a video where you mix, hydrogen peroxide and water on a paper towel put in a dirt cabinet with seeds and it will grow in 24 hours at first I didn’t believe it then I tried it and it worked

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

I can’t wait for planting time! I’m so excited

[@MrCharlieTech5]

Thanks! Grew one green onion (carrot coming next!)..and I’m here 😅

When do I transfer my seedlings to the ground or pots?

[@Gipsygirlx]

when you see that it is becoming a plant, you must transfer it to a bucket or pot😊

[@singingalbert3623]

@@Gipsygirlx or into the ground

[@HsHobbyHomestead]

It depends how you start them. If you use a seed starting tray when it has it's first set of true leaves. The first set of leaves look really similar on every dicot (2 leaf) seedlings and sometimes have the seed attached still. Once it grows true leaves, which are the next set of leaves that come, they need to be removed from seed starter trays. If you use solo or larger cups you can wait til they are 2-3" tall. If they are touching the lid of your seed starter tray it's a good sign it's past time!

[@TheBowersj]

For the rest of us that don't follow any of these steps I understand the wild and crazy adventure that your about to embark on.

[@myopinion811]

So it's okay leave them fully covered untill u see growth?

[@leannhoward7306]

This is great if you have an unlimited budget to buy and start seeds

[@cececola]

I saw a video that tried espoma organic vs other brands like miracle gro. Espoma was the least productive and most expensive.

[@mollypitcher9380]

HA! I believe it!!!

[@IAmHisBeloved5]

I’ve seen those videos. Miracle Gro does seem to work really well but it isn’t organic. And some people prefer organic for their own health sake or if they will be selling to others.

[@shalenawhite]

I bought espoma potting soil and it was hydrophobic

[@amandaclark-rudolph194]

[@Jess.gardensandstuff]

I got compostable pots and they're molding 😢

[@bean_ctm724]

Too wet

[@IAmHisBeloved5]

It’s going to mold because they’re biodegradable. Gardening in Canada has a video on her KZbin channel about biodegradable pots. Posted 8 days ago.

[@Wifey747]

What store is this?

[@chandaphillips1337]

Light will make your starters very leggy

[@travetacampbell2970]

I have the same greenhouse! Question...are the plastic seed starters better than the ones made of paper? Don't the paper ones disintegrated too quickly due to watering from the bottom? I purchased the paper ones now I'm thinking I should have purchased the plastic ones...🤔😔

[@Electedsphinx40]

I use the paper ones for things that will need to be transplanted sooner and the plastic ones for things that take longer before needing transplanted

[@1katy2]

I have that green house. My seeds grow and are thin, then die before planting I'm trying to find help for that situation

[@IAmHisBeloved5]

Maybe try blue LED lights.

[@shalenawhite]

they need more light?

[@jae5531]

You don't need those seeds trays to plant the seeds You can buy small little cups to plant the seeds. Saves a lot of money.

Should you water them daily?

I say water them weekly.

This is a crucial time for seedlings. Check EVERY DAY to see if water is needed.

You don't need that kind of soil lol just coconut works well

[@Idiotwithphone]

In my country, what we do is sow seed on one bed and after they are old enough, we rip them out of the soil and plant them in other beds

[@Emily-xu6fi]

Where 😂 I’m curious

@@Emily-xu6fi indonesia,i bet other tropical countries do it to because they can plant all year round
