Well, here are the BABIES.....fingers crossed!!! I had so much fun yesterday!!! I set up my work area, turned on some awesome music, had Joey sleeping at my feet and a cold beer in hand. I really enjoyed getting these started!!

Awesome! I want to get to planting too but it's still too cold out here and there is still the possibility of freezing temps and I just use starters so straight outside they go!

Well I sure hope for warmer temps for you soon!! You know, some of the herb seeds that I got recommend direct sowing outside, one of them is Dill. So I guess I have to wait too....

Ventilation/air is to avoid fungus. Why once seedlings pops up you remove the lid. Rule of thumb a seedling room needs to be 50% n up in humility, if it’s under 50% that’s when you close the ventilations. For the ones using lids without ventilation like yours, you simply lift the lid a bit to keep humility n air flowing.

All fellow growers.....HELP....confused about my grow lights. Almost all of the have started (3) trays just a little behind, but also starting!)

These grow lights can be red, blue, or combination. I set them on a 12 hour timer, combination. QUESTION how far from the seedlings should they be? These are 20 watt LED lights. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Wow - you and Joey are busy! I remember my dad had lamps in the basement when I was a kid, but nowadays he just uses daylight. I have no lamps at all, only daylight. Hopefully we'll do some sowing over the weekend!

Don't forget photos please

With all that I have studied to do this for the first time, I am totally confused on the use of the grow lights. I just do not have a big enough, south facing area for enough sun, not that we have much right now LOL

Oh sorry should have said, they’re all up. Do you know how far the lights should be from the seedlings?

Thanks!

If it’s a specific tube light for plants a good foot up from trays n as plant grows, you raise the tube. Led lights you can have a good 2 feet or so as it’s much brighter.
