Some great tips. Do remove covers and heat once germination starts. About the personal heat pad-I wouldn’t advise it for use around water unless it states it’s approved. Not sure, but all the personal use pads should be designed to shut off to avoid burns and would not remain on. I do agree to use a temp regulator when using heat mats for growing. They get way too hot inside-10-20 degrees warmer than air temp. There seems to be a lot of regulators plugged into the germination box. A long 4’ heat mat would probably do the job. Everybody has their own way I guess. Many I see say to saturate soil before filling cells. I agree with you on adding it dry. You are correct that it gets too wet, especially for tiny seeds like poppies. The seeds can rot and the soil molds. I have a pump sprayer I use also as the bottle sprayers break and wear out your hand. My husband and I were laughing because it reminded us of his dad and creations he came up with. 😊
@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork8 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comments! The heat mats do not automatically shut off,that's what you want otherwise you'd have to be turning them back on all the time,and these mats are sealed so water can't get into them and cause any problems. All those things you saw plugged into the germination chamber are not heat mats🤣 there's lights, different circulation fans and one 5 foot commercial heat mat plus different relays to control temperature different at night versus the day and also timer and light and heat controls for the upper indoor lettuce grow.

Thank you, awesome video! One more thing that beginners almost always get wrong on lighting is that they fall for the marketing hype about getting perfect light spectrum, which costs sooo much, when they should be spending their money more on light intensity. Even though the spectrum is far off of perfect and the cheaper lights "waste" light in unused spectra, you can still afford way more light in the proper spectrum if you spend it on cheaper high-intensity multi-use bulbs instead of fancy grow light spectrum bulbs

Please tell me if I have anything wrong. As soon as you see the seeds sprouting then you need to turn on your lights and take off the humidity dome. Set light timer for 16-18 hours a day. Leave the heat mat on at 75 degrees. No need to turn thermostat down? Leave the plants in the pony cells until you see the first set of true leaves. Then transplant into 3-4 inch pots and feed with a weak fertilizer. If house temperature is at 68 is there any need to keep them on a heat mat? Your videos are helping me tremendously. Thank you.
@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork8 ай бұрын
Dan, germination temp should be 78⁰ to 80⁰ and if you don't mind the little extra electricity I'd say leave the lights on 24/7 from seeding until the cotyleden leaves are opened up, that way there isn't a chance that you'll miss getting the light on as soon as they start to poke up out of the soil. No need to transplant into bigger pots - when 3 to 4" tall get them in the ground. No need to keep heat mat on if house temp is 68, just keep lights on them 16 hrs on and 8 hrs off. You could put them in a cooler place at night and that would help them be stockier.

How many days/weeks does it take for a tomato plant to be that 3"-4" optimal size for planting outdoors? Im in northern WI and its always a challenge to know when to start plants indoors. Thanks and keep the video's coming!

It takes 3 to 4 weeks depending on if your using a heat mat or not. Have a blessed day!

Disappointed that you use peat moss, which is nonrenewable. But I sure do love the content you are sharing and your garden is beautiful. Most importantly, thank you for sharing God’s love.

Do you have a woodworking channel? You have a nice looking shop.

Mr. Dan, My last frost date is typically June 7th. Can you please suggest when I should start my plants?
@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork8 ай бұрын
Depends on what plants you want to start! What are you planning on starting?

What seeds do you start directly in the ground vs starting them inside? I'm specifically wondering about carrots, beets, and peas, but I would also like to know what you do with other plants.
@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork8 ай бұрын
Yes carrots, peas, beets are all planted in the ground. You can start beets inside if you want but certainly not necessary as they have plenty of time to mature. If you have more questions I'll try to answer as I have time. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already!
