Seed Starting 101
Intro
Greenhouse vs indoor seed starting vs direct sowing
Soil: regardless of location/medium we use
Pots/trays: what kind we use
Lights/sun: use window with lots of sunlight in mud type room or use lights to supplement, keep lights lows
Watering schedule: dependent on how warm/drafty location is
Fans: to regulate humidity and help with strengthening seedlings
Feeding: light nutrients, root enhancers, calcium Amendments like Kelzyme
Fav Seed sources: floret, burpee, johnnys, bakercreek, seeds of change, Renee’s garden, patriot seeds
Greenhouses: ease of use, can start seedlings/plants way far in advance, o fear of frost burn
Indoor tent: allows for those who have small spaces or don’t have greenhouse built yet
Mud room: great location instead of bedroom to start seeds, usually great sun and good temp regulation.
