- Seed starting is an art and timing is everything when it comes to moving outside, fertilizing, and thinking.
Sandy Bottom Homestead was started to supplement our food supply. By Gardening and raising chickens we have been able to meet that goal and start to surpass it. Follow us as we continue to build out our homestead and become better gardeners.

Ha! I also have a hybrid home office/ seed starting area. Very nice 👍
Spinach has always been a pain for me as well. I use similar light but not on chains. I use cardboard boxes under the trays to raise or lower them. That way if one tray needs to be farther away and others need to be closer it’s easy. Great content as usual!
I use the Styrofoam from the light packages and have chains like Ben. The bottom rack I have some hooks that aren't adjustable so I move my taller seedlings to that shelf.
indoor seedlings are lighter in color vs. full sun. So possibly not a nitrogen issue. Something to look into.
I have nitrogen and they turned dark green
good deal brother
I have a similar set up as well. But I use 3 lights per shelf instead of 2 to get a better light distribution. The lights I use are cheapo LED shop lights from Amazon which are $8 or so each. Also have my rack sitting against a window to get some more light as well.
I line the wall behind the shelves with kitchen foil.
Thanks for the great information!
I would suggest too move the lights more to the center to get the light more even across the width of the shelf.
They shadow on the outside when I do that. After this season I'm going to rework the shelf
I just built a greenhouse. Do I need to harden off my seedlings before moving them into my greenhouse.
Absolutely
How far along are those cold hardy seedlings you are putting out soon? Basically how many weeks should I wait until they might be ready?
They are 7 weeks
@sandybottomhomestead ok. Sounds good. I'm a little behind on getting started but they have been up for about a week.
