Great video.Thanks.Do you label the seeds?
Are habanero seeds usually hard to start? All of my seeds germinated except for the habanero, I planted every seed in the pack and not a single one worked (seeds were new, not old)
I am raising seedlings first time Very excited time of the year!
Thanks again for the great tips! We’re in the high deserts of Utah, so just starting our seeds indoors also.
Loads of useful info here… another great video Luke… the best fertilizer for seedlings in my experience is simply two handfuls of compost soaked in a gallon of water for 15 minutes… strain and water seedlings directly… the plants go crazy over this!…
Thank you so much
Thanks homie
You don't know how much I needed this video. Thank you!!!
Boy did I need to hear this at this very moment. I think I overwatered my seedlings now that I'm listening to this advice.
Sunhemp seed
I did learn something new
A warming mat works wonders, really shortening germination time. I noticed a big difference once I started using them.
Wow I needed this right now, good timing. Wish me luck
I sat and planted seeds between midnight and 4am. Couldn't sleep. That was last Sunday. Planted on Monday too. And in less than 2 days I saw sprouts. Had to get the grow lights out. I do use a gardening heating pad which helps.
What do you do to keep grasshoppers out of your garden?
I've been starting seeds indoors for several years and have always had pretty good success. This year I had really good germination but some of them just quit growing . In the past I've always used cheap shop lights. This year the only thing I did different was I used led plant grow lights. Not sure if that is the problem or not. So I gave them a shot of fish emulsion (1tsp to a gal.) and crossing my fingers..would hate to lose my giant crimsons at this point. ☹
I Feel The Need…The Need For Speed!
Wet paper towels inside zip loc bags. My peppers are already sprouting after just 3 days!
Would you mind if I put a link for your website in my video? https://youtu.be/J9iHA0zKY_g
Thank you for all the info you give on gardening Luke! I just started a garden this year after realizing how useful it is to know how to grow your own food with the possibility of food shortages and the price of food going up. I just happened upon your channel and I’m so thankful I did! Your videos are helping me feel more confident in starting my garden.
Seed starting is my fav part of the process. Watching them break the surface is my second fav! Heating mats for seed germination is everything imo. They thrive better if using one of those.
Obviously always read your seed packets, but a general rule of thumb is to plant seeds at a depth of 1.5 times the length of the seed.
Very timely, thank you!
I'm a big fan of bottom watering.
any tips for morning glory seeds?
