Great tips! Another tip: To prevent spindly, lanky seedlings is to expose them to moving air and/or brush them lightly with your hand sometimes. This mimics wind that they would be exposed to naturally and signals the plant to be stronger. If you have a grow room with a strong enough fan to get your plants to move lightly that will work. Also, good air flow can help prevent other problems with plants. Be well, everyone!
For fungus gnats I use oscillating fan/couple drops lemon scented soap in spray bottle w/water- spray plant & soil early on/& if bad, use little hydrogen peroxide in water- drench soil. Best way to avoid gnats is don’t use real soil, only coco coir/soilless mix indoor potting “soil”.
Keep the light as low. The reason for leggy seedlings is they are stretching toward the light, so keeping the light as low as possible will prevent seedlings from getting leggy/ lanky. Lower light = shorter legs/ seedlings. Also make sure the seeds are planted deep enough. General rule is for depth, plant 2x the size of the seed.
seeds doesn't need soil nutrients.all they need are darkness,high soil humidity, right temperature (preferably warm). so summary- jus cocopeat/ Coco coir is enof
I would consider myself intermediate at seedling starting. I have grown a few plants on my windowsill, success was hit or miss, they usually ended up being lanky (some, like herbs, turned out ok). Once I setup grow lights, I have had great success consistently. Note, keep the lights a few inches above the soil and raise them as the plants get bigger. Do a bit of research/shopping online for lights that will fit your setup and are affordable. Hope this helps!
I use that mix and o make sure it's mixed wet before putting it in the trays. To keep the seeds warm and prevent drying out I place a layer of bubble wrap over them.
Does the light always have to be a few inches from the plants? I ask because I have a 10,000 lumen light with 6000k. Would that need to be farther away like a few feet or so or should it be right on them? Thanks ahead of time
I'm trying my hardest not to overthink but I'm not sure if I'm suppose to keep the seedlings indoors & covered with minimum lighting until they sprout or can I place the seedlings outside uncovered. It's so much information out here that will literally have a beginner confused. I'm just looking for the correct information.
I add 1 tablespoon of BT to one gallon of water and bottom water with that every 2-3 weeks. Keeps the gnats away. Once they destroyed my entire tray of 72 Snapdragon seedlings, I decided enough was enough. Good luck!
I was getting a gnat problem with my house plants. I went to the beach, got a bag of sand and put it in all the pots. Not sure how that would affect these plants but it fixed my problem right away.

Yes! Agree you should use sterile soil starting mix.

Lower light = shorter legs/ seedlings. Also make sure the seeds are planted deep enough. General rule is for depth, plant 2x the size of the seed.
It looks like you didn’t cover the holes you made to put the seeds in. You don’t have to cover the seeds with soil once you put them in there?
Flowers,very beautiful 🐮
I never have luck growing seedlings, they all die shortly after sprouting
seeds doesn't need soil nutrients.all they need are darkness,high soil humidity, right temperature (preferably warm). so summary- jus cocopeat/ Coco coir is enof
100% agree
Yeah, it's way more that that. Did the same. Good light, everything got too tall...
Is a grow light absolutely necessary? Some say natural light isn’t enough. Beginner here

What is the mix he said and where to I purchase that?
@@myspates6he said to use 2 parts cocoa core, 1 part worm casting, and compost( optional)
Is coco core the same as coconut shell if I chop it up?
👍🏾🌱
Thank you 🌻🐛🌿💚
Thank you for sharing.i use all your ideas an it works very well❤
Super helpful thanks mate
Wait I thought you were supposed to cover the seeds😢
I love gardening 💟💖💟
Love it

At what degree temperature does seed germination take place?
My seedlings always get mold and damping off 😿
What grow light do you use & how high?
How much times do up pot them ??
How about what are you using for your soil mix?

@@terijean6351 Thank you so much.
@@terijean6351 WOWWW this is superficial info again thank you so much

How do you prevent gnats? I always get an insane amount of fungus gnats that kill my seedlings :(
I add 1 tablespoon of BT to one gallon of water and bottom water with that every 2-3 weeks. Keeps the gnats away. Once they destroyed my entire tray of 72 Snapdragon seedlings, I decided enough was enough. Good luck!
@Growing the Good Life Btk or Bti? I can only seem to find btk but online it says bti is for gnats and btk is for caterpillars
@@eko1966 I use BT by Monterey. The larvae of the gnats are what is similar to caterpillars which is why it works on them.
What kind of growing medium are you using?
I was getting a gnat problem with my house plants. I went to the beach, got a bag of sand and put it in all the pots. Not sure how that would affect these plants but it fixed my problem right away.
Once a week damn !! I'm over watering 😭😭😭
His are in a grow tent so it won't loose as much moisture.
