Are My Seedlings Getting Sick? Indoor Growing - Lots of Pictures
Comments (6)Thank you everyone. The one image that looks like 'pot' is an African Marigold. I didn't evne think much of those spots, was thinking more about my tomato plants issues. Upon closer inspection from you guys mentioning it, it does appear it has spidermites of some sort. Close up image included, click for full-res. https://www.dropbox.com/s/wuhh7fg4rs4ortt/2014-03-03%2014.51.02.jpg Thank you. I've isolated the plant, might just give up on the flowers all together since they're wasting growing space and are cheap to buy/and I can seed them directly later instead. also the original concern was the spots on the cherokee purples which slight leaf curl but seems the spots are normal. :) Also they are all a bit root bound, need to find a way to pot them up again I guess or do you think they'll be okay for another 2-3 weeks? Maybe another month depending on our weather. I have some half-gal and 1 gal containers, but not enough room for the 50 or so total tomato/pepper plants I have....See MoreNew House and New Seedling Setup!
Comments (11)My plants for the most part seem to be growing very slow over the last seven days, that's since I made this and since I moved the lights down (leaves are brushing the lights slightly on a few). I have the light a little higher on one side and a little lower on the other and arranged hte plants by heigth so I could keep it close. I know they've been too far away and most are now leggy. I did find the old packaging for the bulbs and realized to my dismay that they were 2000 lumien neutral bulbs, not the 6500 lumien bulbs I had thought I got. I switched a set of those in two days ago and haven't' seen marked improvement. I actually have two sets of lights now and am going to use the 6500 x2 lumens on the seed starts then move the largest plants/ my house plants to the next shelf with the 2000 lumen and 1-2 hours of sunlight through the window. I'm using 'black gold seedling mix' from my local nursery and the ones I can see the roots on seem to be doing well. I'm moving some of them out of their little containers into plastic cups with drainholes and burying them deeper (the tomatoes/tomitillos) but I don't believe this is safe to do on peppers? The room itself is at about 70-80 degrees. I'm thoroughly watering them every 2-3 days, until he top feels dryish but not crusty but its still a little damp under it. I don't let them stay soggy and I remove any excess water out of the drip tray. These plants are about 3 weeks old now, is 2-3 inchs tall with 1-2 sets of true leaves where they should be or should they be much bigger by now? I'm not in a rush, I just wonder where they should be. Should I use fertilizer or will the nutriatns in my Black Gold mix suffice? How can I check for any damping off? I don't see any growth around the stems though a few seem to be burning since I have them to close to the light. I'm about to start another set of peppers and tomatoes, different varieties and growing a few starts for co-workers. I plan to use the seedling heating mat I have to germinate them then keep them super close to the Daylight bulbs I bought (with 3x the lumiens as the ones I grew this batch with). Will I see marked improvement? In Addition - I would like to grow inside during this coming winter, what could I grow inside well in a indirect light window and grow lights? Will my T8 6500L bulbs be sufficient for things like herbs and lettuces?...See MoreFavorite YouTube channels for veggie gardening?
Comments (11)I only watch CaliKim29 because she is easy on my eyes. I don't agree with most of her garden methods, and I've seen too many garden myths used. Some pointless and some just wrong to garden health. I prefer one yard revolution. He doesn't endorse any product, encourages you to use all free resources, no chemicals. He researches info, applies it, looks at the results. He's currenty working toward a do NOTHING garden, well, as little as possible work with great results. Podcast: You Bet Your Garden. Former editor of Organic Gardening Magazine. Takes your fascinating phone calls and has an interesting question of the week he throughly answers. Interesting personality.

Comments (3)Well there's pros and cons to anywhere you're going to put it. The con of putting it in a closet is that when there is a problem with it, there may not be enough room to work on it to repair it. So you want to pay more every time the air handler needs repair? Like say for example the air handler has to be removed to get at it? (They don't last forever.) Additionally there are people who do not want to hear the system cycling on and off, because the system wakes them up in the middle of the night. Then if the system includes a gas furnace there are safety concerns to contend with. The need of combustion air to function properly, the flue almost always goes thru an opening up into the attic touching combustible materials which in my neck of the woods a code violation. Even in the instance a system is installed in a closet down in my neck of the woods... the ducts are still run in the attic. Why? Because the architect is responsible for designing the home and in most cases they never give enough room for the HVAC system let alone the duct work. Realize I don't build the house, I repair and work with what I have to work with... nothing more. I can't let the house defeat me. Given that, if the ductwork you install is R8 flex and you have the room to separate the ducts there is rarely any problem with such a set up. The heat gain or heat loss thru the R8 duct is less than 2 degrees in most cases and that includes long duct runs....See More- 9 years ago
