Hi all, a few weeks ago I posted about how poorly my plants were doing. With some advice from you guys, I changed some things and now they’re exploding. So, thanks for all the advice. As a first time grower, I thought I’d share my top 5 lessons to help out other newbies:
Grow light intensity and distance is paramount. I’ve read it a thousand times, but now I understand firsthand.
Seedlings hate mulchy soil. Seedling soil is expensive, but it’s worth it. Or, you can makeshift your own by filtering potting soil with a mesh.
Avoid the bio fabric pots. They dry the soil out so quickly. Extremely annoying to constantly water.
Up potting is crucial for root development. Plan your space for the larger containers. I will be doing things differently next year.
Check on your seedlings constantly. Observe them up close. From afar. Think about them when you’re not observing. Talk about them nonstop. Make your friends and family avoid conversations with you because of how much you talk about them.
