LET'S START THOSE SEEDS

We have everything you need to start your garden inside. Whether you have a backyard greenhouse or a little extra space in a room. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, celery and other veggies and flowers can be started in March. Each seed type has different requirements to germinate.

LIGHT: Extra light can be supplied by fluorescent fixtures and bulbs. The ideal light bulbs are full spectrum. We carry Jump Start fixtures and replacement bulbs. The Jumpstart fixtures with reflectors put out about 3 times the light of an ordinary bulb and use just a fraction of the energy cost and purchase price of Halogens and Sodium Bulbs. If you have a four foot shop light fixture this too can be modified with grow light bulbs to work. The important thing is that the light needs to remain about 6 inches above your seedlings for roughly 18 hours a day.

HEAT: Now this part is important because seeds may need a certain temperature to break dormancy. The Hydrofarm heat mats keep your soil at about 10 degrees higher than the temperature in your home.

OXYGEN: All seeds must have air to breath and sprout. Make sure your growing media is loose with alot of peat and well aerated. We carry seed starting mix in 12 qt. bags and Sunshine Certified Organic Potting Mix in 2.5 cu. foot bags, both mixes are light and ideal for seed starting.

MOISTURE: Once you have started the seeds, it is very important not to let them dry out, as this will kill them. Use a grow dome for the first few weeks to keep seed moist and humidity high so they do not dry out while you are at work! You can purchase low or tall grow domes with venting feature already built in or simply start with Saran Wrap over the top of your pots. Make sure to remove these as soon as they germinate to keep your seedlings from getting mold and damping off.

The next step is to find out if your seeds need extra help. Here are a couple of seed germination databases:

Testing germination

To test seeds for germination before planting:

1. Moisten two or three layers of paper towels.

2. Place 25 to 50 seeds on the towels and roll the

towels loosely.

3. Place in a plastic bag.

4. Keep the towels in a warm place such as on a kitchen counter or on top of a water heater.

Some seed, such as radish, germinates in 2 to 3 days. Peppers can take 10 to 14 days. Observe the seed at 2-day intervals to determine the degree of germination.

 

Happy Planting!
