Excellent excellent video and channel! I found this gem of channel from the rosemary from seed germination video. Your videos are super informative and on the point. I have learned so so much (not a new gardener myself). Plus, the Entry One story of "grand-pop" on the Rusted Garden website really got me into tears -- I have exactly the same reason for starting gardening and a similar memory of my own grandfather, who recently left us and whom I missed greatly. I humbly suggest posting that story somewhere on your youtube channel(maybe?), but I also understand and appreciate your professionalism on this channel!

Fantastic, so thorough!! Question, which seeds need smaller cells and which require the larger cells/pots?

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 4 года назад

Thanks. So there is no set answer. All seeds can be in larger pots. Most seeds can start small and be potted up.

@robinheggeland1445 4 года назад

Thank you for your very thorough and helpful videos. I've learned a great deal. This is the first year I've tried indoor seed starts. My question is, when potting up I will be using bagged potting soil that has been in the garage since last season. Do I need to sterilize that soil as well to prevent fungus gnats? Thanks!

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 4 года назад

So I would. Just cause there is a risk, but after a year sometimes they end up free of gnats. Because they hatched and had nothing to eat. I now have an Amazon Influencer's Storefront.

A nice way of getting your seedlings to be stronger besides having the right light is to have a fan that gives them just a little Movement that will really do the job you will see the difference after a week with thicker seedlings. If you never tried it do a experiment. Thanks

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN ok I'm a little confused I thought you said in another video that when you pot up you can use potting mix🤔 I actually potted up my peppers and I used boiling water on the potting mix b cuz it was dry and I potted up my peppers in it. I was worried that using potting mix may cost me later with gnats. So my question is did you change your mind about potting up in potting mix in the house oh I also potted up some flowers in potting mix. I thought if you pour boiling water in seed starting mix that it should work for potting mix as well right or wrong? If that means I may get gnats since it's already done should I use vermiculite on the top of them? Sorry so long I got more stuff to pot up and I need to know if I should use seed starting mix b cuz they gonna be in the house also I'll need to know for my tomatoes. I'm so sorry this is so long. Thank you for all your help I love your vids so very helpful

Gary, I’m starting some seeds this year, thanks for the help and inspiration. I’m using a shed and had temp that were to low so I built a styrofoam room 6x6 for temp control. My question is stagnant air, do I need an exhaust fan to run intermittently to change the air? I don’t think temp will be a problem as long as I run the fan in the afternoons. Thanks Whit

@atanisoftware 4 года назад

I would definitely suggest ventilation of some sort. Plants, like humans, thrive in fresh air and moderate humidity. When starting seeds using a higher humidity can help germination time but soon after the seeds break the surface it is recommended to lower the humidity (ie: remove the humidity done).

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 4 года назад

Thanks for another super useful video! QUESTION: Gary when I closed my beds last year I added 3 inches of shredded leaves. I was hoping they'd break down but they did NOT. I intended on removing then adding back as mulch after planting. However today I mistakenly added my amended soil on top of the leaves on all my 7 beds. Yikes! About 3 inches of amended soil. Is this going to be a problem with plants and seeds? Should I try to sift out the leaves? Thank You in advance!

It could be starting from seed. It wont from transplants. I typically do as you aimed. Slide away what didnt breakdown and use a mulch.

Gary, I'm an old time gardener in southern Ohio. I've recently started plants inside. I use a fan along with lights but some cells get a white fuzzy mold on top. I use sterile seed starter and no fertilizer. There will only be a few cells that acquire this mold. What would you suggest? A spritz of hydrogen peroxide mix maybe? I am at a loss since there are many cells in the tray but only a few are developing this. Hope it's harmless.

@Sg4809 4 года назад

Hydrogen peroxide is what I have used, 8 tablespoons per 1 gallon, but you can add up to 12 tablespoons, I also have used neem oil I ordered from Gary, he has the real stuff and not the crap your local stores sell! Also you may want to let the soil dry out some before watering again, hope this helps! I learned from Gary lol

@TechnologistLive 4 года назад

Put a mild fan to blow air around.

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 4 года назад

I would one try sunshine. That helps a lot UV rays kill mold. And then H202 diluted and spray.

You shouldn’t need grow lights if you have a greenhouse unless you get very little sun where you live. Seeds need light or dark to germinate. Just look what it is for each of your seed types.

@sitizulaika8621 4 года назад

I'm new to gardening. My seedlings always died, about two or three weeks after they grew their one set of leaves. Not sure the reason why. Probably because I used cheap soil? I also don't have growing light(leave them by the window) but sometimes I put them under my USB LED light, especially when they became leggy. It worked but then their stem would slowly turn purple and died. Getting low and high light intensity on and off, could that be the problem? And if I do get the growing light, for how many days I should leave my seedling under the light?

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 4 года назад

Not sure the reason but you can move them in and outside if it is over 40. That helps a lot. They grow and germinate slower but love the sun.

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 4 года назад

Yes it will work fine for beans. Most seeds just live off their seed coat for a bit. Castings are great to add but you dont have too. I like to add it.

Love your stuff (I watch them all!), but your Kelvin rating advice is not entirely accurate. Warm white (lower than 5000K) actually causes fast plant growth. Citation: journals.ashs.org/hortsci/view/journals/hortsci/48/4/article-p504.xml There are trade offs, though. Cool white creates very compact growth, which obvs can be desirable. It is, however, at the cost of speed, which can be good for seedlings.

Thanks. That is with LED lights and intense lumens. The article makes sense but for non LED lights with Kelvin below 5000K, you normally dont even get enough Lumens to have an experiment. Maybe in the future Ill go over the LED color spectrum with high lumens. PAR value too is becoming more popular with LEDs. Please visit my seed and garden shop www.therustedgarden.com for your seeds, seed starting supplies, package seed deals, oils and my new LOGO'd journals and harvest bags. THANKS! I have coffee mugs too but shipping is SO MUCH for them. Working on that.

Very good video Garry, question Can we fill the big container with soil and just the top with starting mix for germination? Thanks

Actually that would work. If you do bring in outdoor soil though, there is a risk of insects and disease. I now have an Amazon Influencer's Storefront.
