You can even transplant if the seed-cap has not yet come of. Thats how I do it. I germinate in a bed of wet vermiculite (which I use for the whole season) with proper labeling. Whatever starts to pop up goes straight into it's first container, mostly large enough so that I don't need an additional transplant.
Never thought about transplanting to another tray. I would always use a whole lot of small plastic pots just to seperate the plants. So much space, time and soil saved.😊😊
I see your festool systainers. I’m a hobby builder (built two houses and a greenhouse with mine!) and have a great love for Festool tools. I know they are expensive but they were well worth the money I spent on mine. Anxious to see you use them in your building videos. Maybe start with your sifter, as someone suggested.
Thanks for the comment and suggestion,I probably wouldn't use my festools on that simple sifter as it's just a throw together 15 min project 😀. My wife and I also built our house and the festool domino tool was great for building all of our doors interior and exterior doors as well as all the cabinets and furniture, don't know what I'd do without it,their sanders are awesome too but their drills are behind the times. We made all the flooring,t&g ceilings posts and beams etc etc.
Do you ever just seed a flat without using cells and then break out the seedlings? Was just wondering if the cells are necessary. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge
Sure you can just use a flat,I find it's easier to use cells because of labeling and not disturbing other surrounding seedlings that may not be quite ready to up-pot.
Very helpful as always. You guys are so lovely to watch! After watching your favorites video, I went out and found Orange Lunchbox Peppers in the garden section at Walmart. I love regular orange peppers (which I am growing also), so I'm going to try growing some lunchbox. Unfortunately only one was in decent shape. But at least I will have a seed source for next year😁.
Your videos are very well done. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! QUESTION: I notice you didn't use perlite in your mix when bumping up seedlings. What's your reason for that?
With such fine roots, leaving out the perlite promotes better root contact. 😊 Extra care needs to be taken to not over water this mix though since there's no perlite in it to help prevent being waterlogged.
Did you make your screen to sift the potting soils etc, if so could you show us how to make one. I know it looks like a simple thing but strength would be important. Thank you
You transplant even before they have true leaves? Is there some big advantage over waiting for those true leaves? Interesting, at what stage would you pot up again if they are not ready for the garden?
The advantage is that there is absolutely no transplant shock or slow down in growth! And no I never up-pot again before going into the garden. Thanks for watching and have a blessed day!
Can I do this with pepper and culantro 2-leaf baby seedlings? I didn't think they would germinate as they are old seeds I collected, so a put a half dozen in each peat pellet. All have germinated 😳
I probably wouldn't bother with cilantro as your going to be cutting it at a young age so it'd be pointless but the peppers certainly can be done very early! May God bless you!
I have one question, I am growing carrot seedlings along with tomato and cucumbers, and the carrot seedlings can't support their own weight, and it falls over. I give them as much lighting as possible, but it keeps on falling over. Do you have any thoughts on it? Thank you for another video, and your effort!
The lights are cheap, bulb type 800 lumen grow light. because it is my first time growing seedlings, I didn't want to spend much on it. I guess, like you mentioned in another video, it has too much yellow colour, and it doesn't have much blue or red colour, and the grow light is about 12 inches above the tray. But, tomato and cucumber seedlings are very sturdy, and strong. Thank you for your care!
Beginners may want to add perlite to prevent waterlogged soil, but in this case we left it out because we were up-potting such small seedlings with very fine roots. This provides more root contact being a finer (less coarse) mix. Hope this helps! :-)
@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork Definitely a beginner seed starter here lol. Yeah the way you guys are starting it makes sense. Gonna try this method to start some peppers and tomatoes later today! Thanks for the advice! God Bless.
There's a high possibility that the up-potted seedlings will be transplanted into the garden WITH the Up-Potting cell soil around the roots, so amendments are very helpful! 😊
Gotta love the multi tasker dust pan and using the floor to mix it up.
Learning and spreading knowledge is all you need to do in life.
Amazing video on showing us how to thin out tender transplant
Makes sense to hold by leaves instead the stems when I watch you do it
Your the master of seedlings
This is a wonderful tutorial, thank you for the teaching of making fine seedling mix.
Thanks. Just as I was wondering what the screen was, you came in and said it was 1/8th. You read my mind!!
Thank you for the ever helpful videos. New to gardening last season, your hints and tips are greatly appreciated
Wow! I thought you had to wait for seedlings to get a lot bigger! I’m so glad I’ve found your channel. I learn something new with each video. 😊
If you up-pot them at this very young stage they don't even know it,no set back at all.
You can even transplant if the seed-cap has not yet come of.
Thats how I do it. I germinate in a bed of wet vermiculite (which I use for the whole season) with proper labeling.
Whatever starts to pop up goes straight into it's first container, mostly large enough so that I don't need an additional transplant.
I don't even wait to hit the like button. I like then learn! ❤🌷🌱🍎🍉🍍
Superbe vidéo
A bientôt
I love watching you guys!

Second! 😂 Thank you so much for the great content!
Our pleasure! Happy gardening!
Thank you once again for producing an excellent gardening video.
You're welcome! Nice to have you here again! Blessings!
Great job gentlemen
Great advice. Enjoying these videos from the UK.

First! Woohoo! Also Thank you for the videos.
Second wohooo 😂
Glad you like the videos! Blessings! :-)
Thanks for being a loyal subscriber! Glad to have you here! Take care :-)

@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork thanks gonna try this with some small flower seedlings, im planting 50' rows so flats make sense:)
I think tomatoes. Nothing popping out of the soil yet.
Thank you for the tutorial. I learned a lot. Blessings.

Try sunshine peat moss. It doesn't need sifting.
Did you make your screen to sift the potting soils etc, if so could you show us how to make one. I know it looks like a simple thing but strength would be important. Thank you
Yes I made it and we'll add it to the list of future videos, thanks for the suggestion and have a blessed day!

@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork Great, thanks for the info. I'll give it a try.
Which AgroThrive do you use?
This one :-) amzn.to/4brfaXp
@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodworkthank you so much!
Nice shop , do you build kitchens ?
Did you build your home there?

Probably your lighting, what lights are you using and how many inches above the trays are they?
The lights are cheap, bulb type 800 lumen grow light. because it is my first time growing seedlings, I didn't want to spend much on it.

No perlite or vermiculite? interesting.

Got bin?
I thought tiny seedlings didn't need fertilizer?
There's a high possibility that the up-potted seedlings will be transplanted into the garden WITH the Up-Potting cell soil around the roots, so amendments are very helpful! 😊
If I ever need brain surgery I'm call you guys.
I'd feel really sorry for you if we worked on you,we might add some kelp powder and some other amendments! 🤣🤣🤣
LOLOLO!
Good grief...put a tarp on the floor!
It's much easier just on the smooth concrete! Have a blessed day!
