Very informative! I would also recommend pollinating before noon. Ideally, 930-1000 seems ideal where I live. After that, it becomes much less effective as the hours tick by. From experience in the greenhouse, I was pollinating in the afternoons over and over and not getting any fruit development. Read that tid-bit I suggested and got 100% every time. Nice job on the video. Brent
Hey John that's an awesome looking squash plant especially for inside. I hear ya on the bees. last year I had to hand pollinate every squash female if I wanted any fruit/vegetable. keep rockin
Thanks. This is the info I've been looking for. Not only does it show that you can keep the size manageable and produce decent squash indoors, you also gave a great nutrient recommendation. And finally, as an added bonus, the pollinating instruction can serve as the best primary sex education tool I've ever seen. ( and a great way not to waste the delicious flowers)
John, have you experienced where the flowers only give you a few short hours in the morning to do this pollination? I have 4 plants each of Zukes and Squash and both the male and female flowers close up around 10am - open early in the morning but by 10am they're closing. Doesn't stop the hand pollination most of the time (sometimes the female flower looks like it like it is rotting already) but the time is short her in hawaii.
Hi John just curious if you know anything about grafting vegies? Your daughter is so cute and I love that you are teaching her to grow her food I am doing same with grand babies I am raising.Your plants are awesome! one more quick inquiry about how much is it to purchase needed items to start indoor growing I currently only grow outdoors. ty so much for you time just found and subed to your channel and really enjoy it ty
Hi Sonya. I'll be honest, I've never gotten grafting. I've always wanted to do it, but hAve never taken the time to study the principles and techniques. I think this may a great thing to try during the summer slow time.
John. On the vine type plants for indoors. After the selling stage how close are your lights? My 250w cfl does ok but I think I need a t5 for wider light coverage.
John! I appreciate you. This is my first time planting squash and OMG they are huge. Thanks for this info. I have mine in a mega garden and SMH I think I'm going to have to move it to my straw bale because those babies are getting huge. My grow tent can't handle two of them. Happy farming.
So thats where squash babies come from!!! Nice video.
Thanks for uploading

I have found that to be the same in my case as well

P.S.
Ravel's "Bolero" would be the perfect background music for the pollination portion.
Lol! Thanks for the awesome comment!!
Remix this video with mood music during the pollination pls thx!
It must be done!
You are too funny. Thanks for a good laugh!
