    Mold on seedling's starter boxes?

    Probably too much, it was pretty freakin wet, I think i was thinking the more the better.... I dumped all the perlite and ditched the top to see if them just thriving with circulating air at this point wold be good, they're already pretty big. i just want to make sure its not some ridiculously...

    Mold on seedling's starter boxes?

    So I bought a jiffy propagator with space for 50 seedlings and they went about nicely, i routinely sprayed and added water and kept perlite at the bottom. They were staying in a footlocker at the end of my bed with 2 cfls and 2 computer fans running.I opened it up today to find the small...

    Super stealthy double-secret germination..right?

    I've since moved it to a footlocker at the end of my bed. And I have been talking to her about working on a garden. I just can't put anything outside yet due to frosts. I've got it all figured out i just didn't really see this as a huge fire hazard. My fault

    Super stealthy double-secret germination..right?

    The flourescent bulb doesn't seem to be too hot, but if you say so I'll do my best to find a good spot. I actually have a footlocker that might suffice.

    Super stealthy double-secret germination..right?

    Better photo here. Its cool to just leave the light on top of it all the time right? the thing in the middle is nirvanas germination kit, so far so good i suppose. Its been 3 or 4 days. I expect a good amount of them to be out in a week or so

    Super stealthy double-secret germination..right?

    So I have parent's who don't smoke weed. What a bummer. I'm starting my seeds in my boxspring with a jiffy propagator box thing and a cfl ontop of it to keep them warm ish and have a light source. This is kosher right? And one seed seems to be going back into the ground or is stuck or something...

    Cup o' Water Germination Question

    Splendid, splendid. I'll wait for those signs tomorrow. I'm trying out all different ways and seeing what works best. So far nothing really - i ordered Nirvana's germination kit so we'll see where that goes. Thanks to all!

    Cup o' Water Germination Question

    ahh fantastic - theyve only been submerged for 10 hours or so, but theyve both dropped. Maybe a couple more hours until theyve swollen?

    properly amending clay soil?

    Lucky you, my parents are pretty dead set against it. They're the hard headed type that don't even want to hear the logic. Which is a shame, but I hope to convert them in the future. How did you get your plants so bushy and huge last year and the year before by the way? Any lst or super...

    properly amending clay soil?

    My grandfather was big in horticulture and I think the gene skipped my father and went to me. I find it incredibly fascinating, and to be honest, a lot of it is intuitive. If you kind of 'put yourself in a plants shoes' for lack of a better term - and even have a cursory understanding of plant...

    properly amending clay soil?

    I personally think that a small amount certainly won't hurt, i mean theres plenty of growth in the area so I don't think its some awful material. I kept a bit of it in just for the sake of mass - as long as its an airy mix and doesn't become dense under itself or with water you should be fine. I...

    properly amending clay soil?

    I just amended a clay rich area near my house and it turned out well. Stripped topsoil off and dug into the clay a little deeper than normal to avoid root rot as Sgt D said. I mixed the topsoil with peat moss and your normal amendments and it looks great to me. I added a bit of lime just in case...

    When can i start planting outdoor!!!??

    http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.php I've heard once you get to about 14 hours of sunlight you'll be good. I'm not sure how beneficial civil twilight is but I'm sure it cant be bad.
