| Video Discription | #germinatingseeds #growmediums #seedstarting I was thinking to myself there has to be a better way to germinate seeds. What grow medium works best for germinating? Let's get seeds starting. So the seed starting experiment began. I experimented with 5 different grow mediums-soil, vermiculite, rockwool insulation, sphagnum moss and peat moss. Each grow medium had the same seeds -lettuce, kale, spinach, bok choy and arugula. Off the experiment went. Right off the bat i've noticed that the rockwool had a super hard time soaking up the water. Once it did though, it worked. MAJOR downside is that it doesn't hold on to water so literally every day I had to water. Vermiculite was super small and crumbly but once it was moist then it was fine. it dried out fast but not nearly as fast as rockwool. the seedlings germinated the FASTEST with vermiculite. I personally can't stand peat moss. It takes forever for it to rehydrate and it could get incredibly messy, although I'm just super picky. Peat moss is used in gardening so in the end I still have to use it but it is good to hold on to water. Downside is that when it dries out, it DRIES out! like bad and it's one hell of a time rehydrating. The mosses were up there with the vermiculite in germinating fast. Soil was the SLOWEST in germinating, Go figure! Fungus gnats were predominantly in soil. Definitely an interesting and informative experience germinating seeds in trays. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapters Experiment explained 00:30 Grow medium options 1:02 Water Comparison Chapters 1:42 Rockwool 1:55 Soil 3:00 Vermiculite 4:00 Sphagnum/Peat 4:52 Fertilizing 5:07 My Thoughts 6:40 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 2 video- https://youtu.be/kzagmAvSnwY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amazon Affiliate Link- If Purchased I get a small Commission Some of the stuff i've used in this video -Seedling Trays-https://amzn.to/3rMzxHE -Vermiculite-https://amzn.to/2Oo3TBE -Peat Moss-https://amzn.to/3b0vaBL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can follow me on Facebook and Instagram @ wwww.facebook.com/theadhdgardener www.instagram.com/theadhdgardener |
