If they look dry after a few days and need more water, would you spray them to get them moist again or put warm water from the bottom?
Awsome. Going to give it a try. Can I do squash or beans same way ? Or any vegetable ?
How often and when do you start to fertilize seedlings in peat pellets? Thank you.
thanks
Should I fertilize my figs outside in pots in the winter? I live in zone 10 and it never freezes.My Texas everbearing still has leaves and fruit although I think the fruit is stopped growing.Only two of my trees went bare.I only have 3, 4 ft trees and a dozen smaller trees.this is my first season with figs.
A chopstick is perfect for this
I wish plants did grow that fast by watering with boiling water 🙂
This is the 1st video to mention any kind of microbe within the peat. Great watch!
I have a dilemma as a new gardener. I just seeded Cucumbers and Goji’s a week ago under grow lights before I learned from you not to do it too early from last frost date. Do you have any suggestions on how to keep the sprouts going "alive" till planting outdoors?
I’ve already spent thousands on this plant fruit and veggie grow bag raised beds basket garden. What is a heat mat and is it necessary. Can I just put my crates on my hot garage? Thanks.
Bro. What about the water how many time in the week we give them

When you have multiple germinations in a single pellet, do you I’m immediately cull out the until there is one plant per pellet?
Cool video, though using boiling water would also destroy many essential nutrients – plus it might be killing off a lot of those friendly symbiotic organisms that might otherwise aide the seedling’s development.
When do you take the domes off? Especially if you don’t have a heat lamp ( but I do have a chicken broader thinking about putting them in there?)
Hey, been awhile, can I do this with grow lamps, a heating pad and the lid to germinate or do you suggest I remove the lid? I’ve found the specialized heating pad speeds germination. ‘d remove the lid once germinated of course. Would there be any benefit to moving them outside in the day when I already use quality grow lamps? Thanks much
Simple & to the point video- thanks !
When u take the lid off each day for fresh air, how long do you leave it off?
I’m a beginner. So please take no offence to my question.
Will the boiling hot water not destroy any good microbes within the pellet. I mean that is immense heat. Just asking. Willing to try,but just wanna make sure before I do .
How long should I leave the lid off daily? Thank you for great information!
Hi there, how often should we water these pellets before they sprout? I saw that they dry out quickly, but I don’t want to over water
how long we have to air them everyday?
Best!! Thq a lot
Thank you for the simple video!!
Currently growing a heap of sweet basil in peat pellets, they work really well. germinated nicely (the ones that actually made it through) and now got them under the grow light of a night time =)
The first forty seconds are windbaggery.
Tape water just fine I can verify this with thousands of trials !
Can these be used for flowering plants seeds?
Nicely done. Thank you.
Southern Exposure! 😃
Very informative, thank you for this video
K I’m dumb do you have to remove that film when potting the seedling?
You earned my like and subscribe today. WELL DONE. 💯
May I ask what are the difference of size 42mm, 36mm pellets? I know the 50mm is the largest but cannot tell the difference of the other from reading online. Big thanks.
Awesomeness!!!! 😀
Thank you so much for this information, it’s really helped me 🥰
