Looking very relaxed you two

[@ourbetterlife8010]

It's amazing what being out of the city can do for stress etc.

VERY nice video. Weed just became legal here in Ohio and I have some seeds from about 30 years ago that I'm wanting to try and germinate. Watching your vids has got me ready to try it now!!

[@ourbetterlife8010]

Haha. Glad you enjoyed! Give it a try! Grow something 😊

[@GuiOpsDev]

@@ourbetterlife8010 You mean grow something other than myself 😈 Girl, I've been doing that for YEARS. BTW, although I wear glasses, I'm not blind. Not yet. Working on it...

[@ourbetterlife8010]

@@GuiOpsDev haha! I love the satisfaction of watching something I planted grow! I encourage everyone to experience it!!

Heat pads work quite well for seed germination.

[@ourbetterlife8010]

They really do. Sadly more are just not in our budget right now!

[@ANJH1106]

Blessings keep the grow going steady this plant can be a huge help from ropes from the salks the actual medical flowers or hash an the fact tou can use the whole plant an make fire wood too

[@SusantheSage]

They’re doing really well. When does the planting season start there? Have the roads thawed any?

[@ourbetterlife8010]

Technically where our property is the last frost is June 10 😳!! But we have plans of a smaller greenhouse and ways of protecting the plants from cold when we get there. Not sure when the roads will be thawed enough to get there yet though!

I planted mine in a plant starter kit with 16 cups in it. I've put them in a rubber made box with my grow light made in the lid. I have a heat pad underneath it and I have the light set to blue and heat pad set on low. I've got 4 plants growing in it, but I've lost 1 of them already and I think I'm about to lose another one that's why I'm contacting you. The one that's trying to die on my is drooping over. I water them every day with water bought from the store in bottles. I don't want to lose anymore, so please help me if you don't care?

[@ourbetterlife8010]

What kind of plant?

[@Skankkk.Hunt.4.2]

Try letting your soil dry out before watering it. Drooping is a common sign of overwatering. I generally water my plants every other day or so as needed

[@billydenham9313]

@@Skankkk.Hunt.4.2 I've got 1 left now. Thank you for helping me. I'll start watering it every 2 to 3 days.

I've planted seeds for the first time recently, but started reading about fungus gnats. I got so upset that I threw out the plants (which had not started to germinate). Regret it though. But I think I over watered the plants so I thought I'd play it safe and start all over again. Any tips on how to prevent them? Thank you and am enjoying your videos. Happy growing!

[@ourbetterlife8010]

Fungus gnats are ALWAYS a worry when planting indoors. Generally over watering will cause them and they are very hard to get rid of. I have learned over the years to moderate and control my desire to water every 5 minutes. Lol. It really just takes a little water. Using a soils moisture tester can help you know if it needs water or not!!
