hello Tom, Tom here. i see this is 9 years on but maybe it will reach you or someone else watching. as a hobby gardener looking to expand into some grape vines i recently purchased some this fall. i have been watching through some of your videos in advance to purchasing the plants. i also have an indoor grow tent setup in the basement for some level of gardening in these long winters. some were purchased as 4" pots and some 1gal pots, would you say it would be better for me to just plant the vines in the ground outside in fall for the next season or is there some benefit or jump start i can give the plants indoors over the winter in this ideal growing environment. not expecting a harvest jumpstart but something like building up a thick main stem, right height for my trellis, or pre-training for regenerative zones etc. do you think putting them in something like a 5/10/15gal pot over the winter would let me not have to trim much or any of the pre-development i could get indoors as they would have well developed roots to be transplanted with? would that give them a nice head start? i have grown quite a few different plants under these lights and honestly some plants in my garden outside dont grow as vigorously, but would having them under artificial LED lighting for maybe 6 months make it difficult to harden off the plants in the spring? anyone have experience with transitioning grape vines from indoor lights outside? i do have an 18cuft grow bed and some 20gal grow bags in that grow area with some amazing living soil, i was thinking i could also take those 2 plants and just let them rip all winter, as i propagate from them and end up with a few of each variety.
Truely enjoy your video's, the one thing that I have are deer, they have to be forced out the area, grow tubes do provide good cover for development while getting the deer under control...lol
Good info but no Pruning was taught or shown on this video at all. Disappointing because the teacher himself shows a new vine with growth and asks, "should we prune that new growth off or let it be?" The question and picture of the new vine with all new things growing had me chomping at the bit because THIS is why we are watching the video, to learn about "PRUNING BEFORE AND AFTER PLANTING" as the video is titled. lots of great information and pictures of comparisons between pruning just planted vines using TUBES to vs not pruning new vines the first year, but again, NO pruning was actually shown or taught. After 20 minutes of more video watching time I just think the vids could be titled better as video would have been better titled Comparing Tube Planting vs Letting Newly Planted Vines alone the 1st year. OR have an awesome editor edit the vids to give us the info we so much need within a few videos rather than some subjects being repeated or not actually shown.
For me it answered a question that had not been answered in the dozens of videos I had seen before this one. Is it important to prune new grape vine the first year? The answer is no. If you want to prune there is no special technique to know. It is too simple, you take off all except the strongest. That's pretty straight forward and really doesn't require a video, but you are wasting your time and perhaps money.
Extraordinary well illustrated, as always!
Thanks for the tutorial! Great work with your series!
Superb video sequence! Extremely informative, well organized! Big Thumbs Up!
Thank you for such great information
Excellent videos, Thank you. Do you have a video on Propagating?
Thanks you so much for sharing.

do you think putting them in something like a 5/10/15gal pot over the winter would let me not have to trim much or any of the pre-development i could get indoors as they would have well developed roots to be transplanted with? would that give them a nice head start?
i have grown quite a few different plants under these lights and honestly some plants in my garden outside dont grow as vigorously, but would having them under artificial LED lighting for maybe 6 months make it difficult to harden off the plants in the spring? anyone have experience with transitioning grape vines from indoor lights outside?
i do have an 18cuft grow bed and some 20gal grow bags in that grow area with some amazing living soil, i was thinking i could also take those 2 plants and just let them rip all winter, as i propagate from them and end up with a few of each variety.
