Very appreciative for all the information on your channel. Love the channel. Earned a sub and future buyer.

Hi Gary, second try at starting seeds, I tried to do them outdoors last year in a little cheap greenhouse and failed miserably. After watching many of your great videos, I know why and I am excited for my prospects of success this year. Bought a rack and lights and the seed trays I bought from you have arrived, so I will be starting my seeds tomorrow. I will be growing them in my garage, so I will wrap the rack with 4 mil plastic sheeting until the temps warm a little more, right now 40's at night and 60's daytime but will be rapidly starting to warm from here on out (Mountain Foothills of SoCal, zone 9B). I think we just had our last freeze this week. Going to use heat mats to start and the rack is at the front of and east facing garage so I will open the doors and let the sun warm it it the morning. One question I have is I have seen others saying you need to have fans blowing on the seedlings but I have not seen that in any of your videos. Do you recommend this?
Thanks for the shop support BTW. Slow and steady. Good luck. I never used a fan. It can help, but I just move my hand across them to give them motion and help support stem firmness. Its an option.

This year I plan to start my seeds earlier than last year. Lots of good tips here. Combined with your other recent video on the portable clear greenhouse covers, I can plant them earlier, too. Heating up the soil and protecting the transplants from harsh elements, plus a stockier stem to begin with... feeling good about that. Last year we had that beautiful week or so of spring weather followed by a freezing week of snow and strong blistering winds. I waited to plant, but many people didn't and lost everything. These tips all together extend my growing season.
Good luck. I will be doing the same. I got caught in that freeze. So the polycarb will be used from the get go.

These videos are why I have no problem buying seeds from you. Gotta buy them, so why not buy from someone who offers all this great info and help? I started my peppers a bit too early last year. Had peppers on them before they went outside. Should I had a week or 2 if container growing? (soil temp-wise)
This is great, thank you. I just started seeding my tomatoes and peppers with a heat mat on Sunday. The tomatoes already sprouted and i will wait until tomorrow to remove them from the heat mat and use a mixture of water and fish fertilizer when the soil is dry. I purchased the fish fertilizer last year but was unsure when to use it so this video is very helpful.
That will work. Good luck this year. Please Ring the Bell (next to subscribe) to get immediate real-time video notifications & Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com

In one of your videos, you mentioned you had gotten larger pots to pot into from H.D. for $ .50. I have been looking for larger planting pots for a variety of my plants, including cutting and starts of fig trees and lilacs. Which H.D. did you get them at and what size were available. I am a neighbor of yours, and our H.D. didnt have ANY pots available under $1.49 each and not on sale. As I need about 30, thats not a doable price for me. I have been watching you for YEARS, long before you moved to your current BEAUTIFUL property. Thanks so much for what you do!!
Great recap as I definitely needed a reminder on feeding seedlings and # of hours for lights! I also liked the magnify view in this video. Doing my own experiment by starting some tomatoes now, with plans to transplant mid-April and "wrap" a 4x4 raised bed in plastic (think vertical row cover). I'm 5b and really shouldn't plant tomatoes until end of May but we'll see what happens. Thanks for all you do and I'm excited to learn more from you this season!

Oh... So THAT'S what I did wrong... I was always told to put coffee grounds and egg shell in the bottom of the container I use to start, I used toilet paper rolls but have redone with the mold issue.. And I didn't know to water from bottom. I don't have grow lights, but my old eastern facing window seems to be doing the job. I'll also be mixing up some of the peroxide mix. Fertilizer is on my list. Thank you for getting to the point and saying what to do right. Too many videos on what NOT to do-which is easy to figure out.

A question: can you, should you or is it worth it to use a diluted fertilizer (Stay Green tomato/peppers 18-18-21) as a foliant feeding spray ? I have not been doing it but watching you use the peroxide spray made me think of the possibility. The reason being that the tray i am using under the seedling cubes has drain holes in it and unless I place the cubes in a dish pan it is not possible to bottom feed them.

Love this whole guide! I notice you added the worm castings after adding the boiling water. This was great to see as I always had this question -- no need to sterilize the worm castings?
The vermisterra brand is aged and sifted so, It is really just casting. No need to sterilize. Other brands might be fine but depends on how much non casting compost comes with their products.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Hey I have a question. I started some beefsteak seeds indoors. I have them under 2 T5 lights about 6 inches or so from the plants. They looked fantastic till about 10-12 days ago, when they started to curl down and turn purple on the underside of leaves. Some of the first leaves are upside down and very thin. Two of them dried up and died completely. My kale and jalapeño seedlings have no issues. Just the tomatoes. I have all my plants in miracle grow potting mix. I was a little excessive with my watering... I tried transplanting them and replacing the soil with dryer soil. I wasn't sure if it was a fungal problem from being overwatered. Perhaps its an issue of temperature affecting nutrient uptake? Any idea whats going on with them and how I can save them?
Perfect! Thank you! I tried to get the lights at Walmart last time we discussed a big sale. Couldn't get a single one, even though they were advertised. Hoping to find them one day for that price. I can't get out much, but when I do get to Walmart I always check where the lights are. Haven't seen them for less than about $45-$50 since the big sale, which is ridiculous! I'm determined to find them on sale. I already have the racks. See you next video!

@@cynthiafisher9907 I did go to Walmart online, same high price. Thanks for reminding me, I should check online once a week! On Amazon, too, just in case. I may not be able to leave the house much, but I can easily check online. Thanks again!
I've found in the very humid Pacific Northwest that bottom watering can cause the soil to be too moist, especially early on when the seeds are only at the top of the soil and can't absorb that water fast enough. So when they are just starting out, I top water.

You can start and transplant and have pretty large plants come time to plant them. I small greenhouse does wonders Example tomatoes plant them and within a few weeks you are having blts
Thank you so much for all of your information. Just so that I understand correctly, you plant the seeds and place the light approximately 2” above and keep it on them for 72 hours until they break the surface and then adjust to 16-18 hours ?

Gary. I enjoy your channel. I have a quick question for you. I planted a bunch of brassicas seeds three days ago and covered them. They all sprouted. I have them on a heating pad set to 80 degrees. Now that they have sprouted should I turn off the pad or set it for like 70 degrees? They are in my shed and it doesn’t get much over 62 degrees in there. Much appreciated.
Always enjoy your videos, Gary! I'm hoping you can clear up something I've been puzzled over - you'd mentioned liking VermisTerra castings because they're aged for a number of years, but then I see another company advertising how fresh their castings are and claiming that "castings provide the most value when they are fresh, but they will continue to be beneficial for several years" [Brut Worm Farms]. Does it matter how old castings are, or are these just different marketing strategies? Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge & experience - am a subscriber and look forward to your tutorials!
So VS is aged and sifted. Means less additional composted materials. Very few if any bug issues. As aging decays remaining matter. Bugs dont live in it. Castings is what I want with all the execrations from the worm, not compost. When you by fresh castings. It can have more biological life, more NPK from other organic matter. Too me it is compost with casting. For me... I dont want fresh compost in seed starts. In the garden... I add it myself. I just want casting. Hope that helps. Check out my point of view too but that is my reasoning. Sometimes best to buy both products and test it out. See what works for you.

If you add boiling water, won't that flush away the nutrients? Or do you add boiling water and just let it sit in the seed starting mix? I'm a total beginner, but your 2017 video literally made me buy stuff and get started!
It won't and you let it sit and not drain out. There aren't much nutrients in starting mix anyway and you can add it back. You just dont want fungus gnats. Congrats on getting started in 2017.

Great video Gary, I live in zone 10 my question is starting tomatoes from seed using the 4 inch pot with the jiffy mix seed starter mix I have a patio that is fully screen I was wondering can I start my tomatoes plants from seeds in the patio that has direct sunlight there during the day. The temperature has been highs of 79 with lows of 45. Thank You
It has to be a lot of sun for the first week after germination to make sure the seedling dont get leggy. It would be fine after that. You need like 8 hours of direct sun for seedlings. Sometimes it is good to start them under lights and them move them into the space.

This is a great video. Thanks for making this info available. I have two questions......I started my tomatoes way too early. They are already large enough to be in the garden, but the I need to wait about 4 more weeks. Should I transplant them to larger containers, keeping them under the lights, and hope for the best? Other suggestions? I have 1 plant where the leafs are curling...suggestions?
I tried to pack all in 20 minutes. Thanks. If you have room pot them up. You can start giving them sun too outside to acclimate. This way they will be ready. Curling is an odd issue.

Are worm castings a fertilizer? And when moving the bigger seedlings to a bigger pot do you still use seed start or can you use potting mix with worm casting?
I do pot up with worm castings. It is a low NPK fertilizer. WELL below 1-1-1. I use it in addition to higher fertilizers when in the garden but use it indoors as a lot of NPK isnt really needed.

I have 19 day old tomato seedlings that I just replanted deeper in a new pot with new moistened soil to encourage stronger stem growth. There are some that are just barely starting to grow their first true leaves, but the "baby" leaves are starting to get really crinkled and dry. I have them by a north-facing window as well as under a 300 lumen growing light that is at 80% dimness and about 5 inches from the top of the leaves. I am making sure to keep bottom watering as soon as I realize the top 2-3" of the soil is barely damp, so I don't think I'm over or underwatering. Do you think I am exposing the seedlings to too much light/heat from the grow light as well as the sun from the window? Also, I prepared a 24-8-16 water soluble fertilizer I think at half strength (it calls for 1/2 tsp per gallon and I used 1/4 tsp). When should I start to fertilize? Thanks!!
Well 3000 lumens or more is what I grow under. Did you mean 300. Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs at www.therustedgarden.com & Please Ring the Bell (next to subscribe) to get immediate real-time video notifications of new videos. Thanks
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN yes I did mean 300. The weather has been consistently above 65 and sunny for a full week, so I have been trying to get them outside for a couple hours each day and bring them in at night. Is that too much for 3 week seedlings?
I would for potting up but need seed starting. That bin is great stuff but you dont know what you are bring to seed starts.

I create my seed starter mixture using a 1:1 ratio of Seed starting soil and worm castings. Make sure to sift the worm compost in a 1/4" sieve or less. I also add a bit of organic fertilizer, humic acid and glacial rock dust.
I have a container of fish emulsion (5-1-1) that I purchased about 3 - 4 years ago. I only used it that first year and It’s been in a sealed container since. Can I still use it or should I dispose of it and purchase a new container? Thank you, enjoy your blog.
Yeah it just stays rotted and smelly and ready to use. Please Ring the Bell (next to subscribe) to get immediate real-time video notifications & Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com

Hi Gary, I am still quite new to understanding lights, my neighbors just lent us a LED light that seems very powerful. it is 1000 W LED hanging for indoor outdoor. my question for you is at what distance do you suggest i hang it from my seedlings? and it has a dimmer, would i need to use that?
So that might be a different light than I use so my 2-4 inches is moot. You have to find the manufacture if you can and see what is recommend. Some of them are pretty powerful.

You mentioned about seed mix and boiling for sterile. Are you referring to soil that is store bought or making your own mix? I bought the Jiffy, do I still need to sterile it? Thanks I bought your whole kit and I am excited to start it this way.
Jiffy for sure. Any mix bought or made. Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs at www.therustedgarden.com & Please Ring the Bell (next to subscribe) to get immediate real-time video notifications of new videos. Thanks

Gary, great video. Question: do you put a cover over seed tray prior to germination? I recently bought trays from you and was some what surprised when i saw no covers on your page.
I never use a cover. I found it breeds more fungi then good Please Ring the Bell (next to subscribe) to get immediate real-time video notifications & Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com

Another great video. I was wondering if after fertilizing the plants will the yellowing leaves turn back to green or will they stay yellow? Also, how long does it take for the fertilizer to take affect? Thank you
Most of the time the dye off if they are a lot yellow but a water soluble fert is ready right away. You should notice more green in a few days.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thanks so much. Sorry to hear your book is delayed yet again. I’m sure you’re frustrated as well. Covid is certainly teaching us coping skills dealing with frustration. Right?
I'm in Ohio and want to start my seeds in the next few days so I'll have larger plants to transplant outdoors in May. How early is too early to start my seeds?
Never too early but you dont want them to get to flowering and fruiting. Please Ring the Bell (next to subscribe) to get immediate real-time video notifications & Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com
Since I’m not starting all seeds at the same time, can I prep my soil with boiling water and put in containers but plant some seeds at later date? This makes the soil prep more efficient for me. Thx.
Yeah once prepped just keep it where you wish. Please Ring the Bell (next to subscribe) to get immediate real-time video notifications & Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com
