    Many thanks for all the "congrats" and a special thank you to Mr. Guten for the heat mat. It is much appreciated and I'm looking forward to putting it to use.

    Congratulations to the winners! Great topic, still making these mistakes myself. I was just telling my wife today how fascinating it is to see a plant go from droopy and sad to upright and happy after a good watering.

      That is so true. Kind of like watching a squash plant mid day and then seeing it perk up when the sun goes down. :)

    I battled fungus gnats a bit already this year. It was really my fault. I wasn't thinking and I brought a small plant from my outdoor green house inside to my grow area. I saw the little gnats the next day but it was too late. It was DE that ultimately fixed the problem.

    • @GutenGardening
      @GutenGardening  ปีที่แล้ว

      DE has been a great help to us in the past as well. It is definitely effective!

    Congratulations to the winners! The seed germinating mats are great. I have one wrapped around some cacao plants, and they work just as well around pots as under them.
    Over- and underwatering are probably both things I tend to do, depending on what each plant needs. I constantly fight with fungus gnats. Sticky traps and tiny spiders have all but eliminated them now, but I'm keeping an eye on them.
    I usually bottom water twice a week, but I'll also use a spray bottle on the surface of dry soil to help pull the water up through.
    Thank you for your helpful videos, your generosity with the giveaways, and the encouragement within this channel's community. I won those great lights on Day 10, and have already seen a significant difference in my plants.

    • @GutenGardening
      @GutenGardening  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you so much Frog in Progress! The spray bottle is also something we use for our seedlings when needed. I am so happy that you are seeing success with the lights. I hope you enjoy the upcoming growing season. We really appreciate you!

    • @GutenGardening
      @GutenGardening  ปีที่แล้ว

      It is especially challenging when the top looks dry, but a little below the surface it isn't. I think that is likely why many overwater. We have been guilty of that for sure.

  • @rbbiefah
    @rbbiefah ปีที่แล้ว

    At 9:11 you seen to be saying that after sifting the fine particles out you then use the fine particles in your seedling pots but that is the very opposite of good draining . These fine particles are washed out because they fill air spaces and hold excessive water

  • @dustyflats3832
    @dustyflats3832 ปีที่แล้ว

    Last year I used coir and it molded. It needs a lot of perlite.
    This year using Promix and have a small problem with white mildew/mold. Don’t care for seed starting mix as it’s too muddy. Growing in cell packs with root air layering. Have fans on, but there we have a problem. The cells dry out unevenly from fan. Trying oscillating fan today, maybe it will improve. Today I sprayed sparingly Neem oil on the spots of white mold, we’ll see. Onion starts are looking great and may need to repot before planting out. Wonder if cell packs would do better in a low tray to allow more air. Not all cells dry evenly and trying to figure it out. I used a sprinkle of granular organic fertilizer and water from the top to work in. I have watered from the bottom and that doesn’t seem to evenly hydrate and tray is level.
    Herbs attracted aphids? Think I have that covered, but never had this problem before. Using yellow sticky traps for gnats.
    What do you advise for fertilizer for food like lettuce grown inside?
    Trying artichokes this year and they look like they will be taking over soon.

    if its Cannabis i´d say it needs to feel kinda moist and wet pretty much all the time if like here .. even in Denmark if the doctor allowed to grow a Cannabis for Medicinal use they take alot more than alot of regulare i bet cus its from a Tropical China area ,,Originally" i know over 100 variations of them may do well in Nordic reagions and clima BUT some basics may be good for just a kinda thing like Cannabis its around 25*c and a pretty wet area i guess not to overdo it of course but they do require more water than most .. pretty much daily on average .. AKA they do well in moist or wet soils if you got permits for them and they are good looking at basics even if it was for industry or something else fx .. but i guess its to focus center area around the seed then i guess ? if Cannabis that requires water alot fx then you can start with a big pot if done right .. and it will sometimes grow several cm´s at a day if suns on and it has water and right amount of hours of sun and over 20*c average

    Should i use 3 bulbs on my T5 and hang it 7 foot high above my canopy during vegetative, or should i use 3 bulbs and hang my light at 4 foot above canopy. I have 54w bulbs. Should i just use one bulb? Maybe 8 bulbs and hang the light 8 foot above canopy? I have been doing 35in above canopy with 3 bulbs.
