I know you know this Nate, but it might help someone else understand why your tray/watering system is so important. When the available water is at the bottom, the plant tends to grow more longer, healthier roots in search of the water. Thus, bigger, better, healthier plants. When you top water, the longest roots may not get all the water they require to grow vigorously and therefore will grow a more shallow root system. They don't have to "search" for moisture. Just thought I'd mention it. LOVE the video! You're going to show the people that thought they couldn't grow anything that they, too can have a green thumb! P.S. Both my thumbs are GREEN! 😊
That was me Nate I was the bare min. I had heat mats and lights on shelves in my sunroom I even put reflective material all around the shelves, but like you said it was bare min. the plants were just ok but never super healthy. I would advise people if you can’t afford a tent try to find some reflective material to wrap your shelves with it did help and don’t forget a fan. Blessings my friends 👍🌞
I bought 2 heated propagaters as I don't have much room, they're good but your video has given me the idea to use my tent as a big propagator, thanks again Nate.
I've been watching "seed starting indoors" videos for like 2 hours now and yours is surely the most succinct and useful and without annoying background music THANK YOU THANK YOU. I won't be able to do a fancy set up like yours with timers and the things that measure temps/humidity - I'm just going full blor with what I have. I spent a few days building a greenhouse then an "unusually powerful" windstorm came through and destroyed it so I gotta try something else. I appreciate your content, you're super approachable and it doesn't feel like you're trying to "promote your brand" you know what I mean?
thank you for this helpful feedback and positive energy my friend!!... now that you understand the 5 key elements you'll be able to custom tailor it to your specific resources!
Great video sir and full of tips that I wish I had known years ago and you have pointed out most of the mistakes I have been making. Time to adjust my ways and loving your channel.
My seeds will be in this week. Going to get my brassicas started this weekend. Zone 8A I have my tent all ready. I grew a few trays of micro greens with great success. Thanks for all the tips.
Great video, last few years since I don’t have a basement grow tent setup I’ve been using my cold frames for seed starting. Temps can be an issue and it’s definitely trickier but doable for close to zero cost.
So simple yet so profound. Nate, you just cleared the air and let the light in. I've always been confused about artificial lighting for young vegetable seedlings. You are the only tuber (TH-camr) I've heard mention the two categories of light requirements (1-vegetative and 2-flowering/fruiting). The day after you enlightened me as to the unnecessity of high end multi spectrum grow lights for plant starting, my multi spectrum grow light from Amazon was delivered and promptly returned. Your KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) approach to gardening, as well as your obvious passion for it keeps me on your channel and surely keeps our gardens growing. Thanks.
Have that same 8x4 tent im switching to onion production. Made a floor frame for it with 2x4s, plywood 8x4 sheet, and casters last winter. It's like a rolling drain table but moves all directions. Can access both sides for $40ish will be handy as im putting in 2 82x17 shelfs altenating small fans in place of trays moving the air up and out the exaust blower. should make for around 25k onion seedling veg. Thanks for the awesome info onions didnt pop as easy as other plants.
Can u post a updated more in depth video , I saw u used a soil moisture reader in another video and interested in how everything's hooked up including the timer
Hey Nate! Can you add the storage shelves you use inside the Mylar growing house to your Amazon store? Or mention where you got it in a future video? I have a 48x24x72 shelf I have been using but I’m not sure it would fit inside the tent because of the poles that hold the tent up. Your insight would be appreciated.
Hello Nate, I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and just decide to comment. Great job! I’ve noticed you’ve been pushing the shed starting masterclass in your recent videos, which I have now watched multiple times.. I agree everything you need to know is in here. I did have a question. I was unable to find the aquarium heater that you use in your storefront. I am going to be making JMS soon and was hoping you could point me in the right direction for heater for a 5 gallon set up. Thank you in advance my friend.
Our place is crazy town above Stockton ca. Have learned to manage natural light and added heat. Too much heat with not enough natural sunlight in our area creates spindly seedlings. Once seeds germinate we move to a greenhouse. They grow with the sun. We do heat if a hard freeze happens. Otherwise we trust our plants to grow with the sun.
All great tips, I'm just lacking space and money. My seedlings do ok in S facing windows with some foil behind and I waft them now and again daily. I'm lacking the heat element this year as I can't afford heating bills.
Very impressive. My neurodivergent brain is actively seizing on a make-believe floor right now. I have in my sitting room a flimsy 6ft plastic tent, a rack, few heat mats, a few grow lights, a few trays and a dream. Imma just throw some seeds at it from across the room and pray to the garden gods😵💫🤣.
Hi Nate I start all my seeds on a south facing window sill with success. However only cold hardy plants and they will be going into the greenhouse next week once the sun hits it all day. I Do give them a boost with lights tho if it’s not sunny. (It’s been sunny tho) It’s too expensive for electric for a whole grow room and I have no space, do you have a cheaper smaller alternative? A propagator? Thanks Nick. My onions sprouted in a week on my windowsill.👍🏻🤠💗🙏
Show and tell anyone. I feel like I'm in school again. Well we are. City water here and RO. Did the compost tea in your video with rain water. We put the black water into bottles. It settled and water on top is gray. Waiting for further instructions captain. Thank you kind sir.
well done!!... go ahead and use that stuff as soon as you make it as thats when the biology is at its peak but even now it'll still have the humic acids inside of it
Thank you Nate. I just received my seed order from Baker Creek, I also picked up some onion sets from the local feed store. Do you plant by the moon? Like they do in the almanac.
Would you prefer inside growing over greenhouse growing when starting seeds? I debate sometimes which one to invest money into. Is one better than the other?
Here in Italy the moisture is quite high in these rainy days, how can i control the moisture in the grow tent? Also with duct fun always on it can't decrease below 65%
Hi - I was looking for the link to lights and it's missing. Do you have a link to your store? Try as I might I cannot find that 17.00 light on Menards using the tag description or the sku. OY! The lights are my stress point/bottleneck. Thanks!
thank you I have updated the links in the description.... but the links are not for the Menards lights they are just the ones that I go there to find in the actual store... you can use the parameters outlined in this video to choose from several of the shop lights they sell...
no... with these lights there's no need to lower them at all so just set it about two feet away give or take and let it be... plenty of power in these lights
Great video bro. Could you be more precise with light density in lumen/watt because saying only at least 5000 lumens could be not correct because it depends on the size of the lamp also. I'm trying to build a tent 60x60cm but couldn't fit any lamp with such lumen power...could you help me?
At the end I bought 1 m2 tent, 2 m high, with a rack each floor 60x60cm. I put two tray 25x50cm per floor with heat mat. I bought T8 18w grow lamp full spectrum 60cm long. Should I put 4 lamp per floor (2 per tray) or can I use only 2 each floor (1 per tray). Second question, I bought 220m3\h duct fun that could be run till 180 that's is enough for my space. Many video say to run all time with ligh on, but you say just 15min each 2h, will be enough? Thank you bro
@@albertopetrangeli6834 I would've laid that tent on its side and got full length grow lights and had only one level that way you could fit about 8 trays side by side... but now that you have such equipment you will need 4 per level for best results because those are not super powerful be the T8 is a great growing light you just need lots of them... if you need the ventilation to cool the tent then run it 15 on 30 off or 15 on 60 off something like that... you do not need it running all the time unless you have super powerful HPS lights
@@gardenlikeaviking Appreciate the reply my friend, that's what I've been doing but I've wondered if I should be shutting it off between maybe 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM while it's daylight and just use the light to make up the remainder of the 16 hrs. I'll just leave it the way it is. The light is on a timer BTW. I'm in the NE Idaho panhandle zone 5b/6a so I'm just playing with some cilantro, petunias, and some sweet potato slips right now. Last frost was May 23rd last year. I'm gonna wait about 2 more weeks before I start onions (excruciating). I just bought the light a month ago, I wish I'd seen your shop light video before I bought it, I bought the Bloomspect SL600. I don't know if it makes plants grow or not but it sure does wonders for my psyche this time of year when the days are short!
Holy 🤬, I didn’t expect to see the most Comprehensively basement grow room set-up I’ve ever seen missing only AUTO -CONTROL computer linked to a phone or watch or whatever. In-line fans and filters and …….🤔
you can yes but I start all the fall crop outdoors with some shade cloth over them because plants just love to be outdoors they'll be the healthiest that way
dang it .. this must be why my tomatoes dont seem to be doing anything .. they are already stunted .. dang it .. lcan i still replant my seeds and get a decent harvest this year?
fortunately tomatoes are pretty hardy and can bounce back better than most other crops... go ahead and give them some compost extract and probably better lighting and they will come back to life!... but yes you still have time to start tomatoes from seed but they'll be harvested in later summer
@@gardenlikeaviking thank you .. i will give them a chance thank you .. i have LAB's and i am still making batches of JMS and pouring them on the garden
that depends on a number of factors but I go by feel of the weight of the tray... i can tell just by giving it a little lift up how much water its holding... wait until the soil surface appears dry
lol it starts from the inside out!... I consume lots of the bone broth and beef tallow (from my videos) and also occasionally eat raw bone marrow... that pretty much makes it grow crazy thick!
I worry about the messages you are sending with this one, Nate. Good on the things that seeds need, but very off putting to anyone starting out with seed sowing who might feel the `have` to have the perfect setup that you showed.Since many people are now starting to grow because of NEED rather than want, this may sadly put them off.Who in need of food can afford the fancy grow tent, racks , heat mats and lights? I can, but chose not to indulge as there are many alternatives_; wait a while and start when the weather in a south facing window supports your efforts, start hardy seeds in trays next to a stove then gradually move to tougher conditions- it works but takes more effort, (..and by the way, I feel that like humans and other creatures, developing young benefit from some stress in order to deal with what life will throw at them later!!) Your jadam feeds are great for those struggling to grow plants cheaply but this layout seems OTT. Love what you are doing otherwise!
yes I totally get that my friend... this is the first of three videos showing seed starting options and the next one will be "tight budget option" and the following will be "zero cost option"... also that is why I labeled this one "master class" instead of beginner ... thank you for your input!!
@@gardenlikeaviking Dude, I might be prejudiced, in my country such nails on a man are simply unacceptable. Have really, really bad connotations, you probably don't want to hear about. And tbh, unless you use them to pick your nose and ears, I can't see how they are useful.
the vikings were masters of adaptation... when they found new technologies and methods of doing things they adopted those methods and did not hesitate to embrace innovation... that is the same spirit here today
@@gardenlikeaviking jk bro, love your vids. I've seen several many times and took notes. I just made the lactic acid and cheese, I got the JADAM book in yesterday. You've been very informative and a great inspiration!
Money is tight here. No tent. We're putting our full spectrum grow light in the dining room.. We're going to use an extension cord with a switch that will reach the kitchen. We have a small oscillating fan. As for humidity. Bowls of water. We got full spectrum because we plan to grow our tomatoes and peppers pretty big and see how that goes. Our garden is small for 2. Starting flower seeds, herbs, w. spring veg seeds.
they make much smaller tents you can lay on its side and put just two lights and a heat mat with a small oscillating fan an you're good to go less than $120

How long do the onions need to stay on the heat mats? I only have one and need to time other heat loving plants.
just long enough to induce sprouting... so once they germinate and are about an inch tall you can remove the heat mat and use for other things

40% to 70% is ideal just be sure you have sufficient airflow when the humidity gets above 50% its important to have a breeze constantly
