I live in East TN. A very humid climate. I honestly have NEVER heard of a problem bringing in MORE humidity to a basement. Most around here require a dehumidifier. You have blown my mind lady!
I'm trying to watch all your old videos and catch up on you stuff. I've commented on other videos about how much fun it is to watch your content and I'm learning something at the same time. Woot, Woot...🤣
I wish I was your neighbor. You are bubbly and sweet and make me miss my upstate cousins. Growing seedlings is wonderful. I feel the same when my tropical fish have babies.
Awesome, I am so inspired and encouraged 😇. I only grow 3 dahlias in my garden in the summer but I dream of building a flower business.I hope one day… I am so happy for you and your enthusiasm and your happiness , your hard work and also realism with money and business matter . My fav utuber 😇
keep growing girl. doing a fine job. You'll have to go thru the growing pains/lessons of indoor grow yourself. but will be lessons well learned. Yes humidity is an issue. You should have an indoor temperature/humidity gauge to monitor the room. As the plants grow, they will give off more humidity through transpiration. You have to change out the air every few hours with outside. Not talking outside to the rest of your house. But out of the house. Otherwise youre asking for trouble with mold. Vapor barrier is great for increasing humidity, but has draw backs. Watch your corners where the vapor barrier from each side meets. Those are dead spots. I kept 4 fans 1 for each corner to move the air in a circular direction. Mold grows quickly there. The other problem with vapor barrier is it cuts off with carbon dioxide/CO2 that you produce that plants thrive on. Other than when you are working in the room. May consider a CO2 generator/tank on timer for feeding. You'll figure it out. happy growing on your journey
You are my favorite "chatty" person EVER!! You make me laugh so hard every time I watch you, and then I need to take a nap lol. Please keep up these wonderful videos!!
You are so adorable! You remind me of my friend Elizabeth Fabian so much. My husband built me a used window greenhouse for my 40th birthday and he just finished his part today. I just have to put the mesh on the shelves and paint. It’s so nice to have a place for all my plant babies. Congratulations on your new seedling nursery!
I seriously just called my kids up to watch part of this to show them that their mother is NOT the only one who is in LOVE with her plant babies! As you can imagine, eye rolls. How is it both uplifting, encouraging, and just plain fun to see what you are up to? I also keep learning new things - from you and from the comments. Happy growing peeps!
I was totally going to make a Dexter comment! I immediately thought about mold issues before I saw that airflow will circulate around it. Very nice and very clever. Though you can buy 6 ml clear Plastic at Walmart. Paint Drop Cloth (Plastic). 12' x 4' for $5. Save the Good Green House Plastic for Poly Tunnels! Etc. But look at you! Our little Flower Girl is evolving so fast. She'll be getting planting and moving into a Greenhouse of her own before you know it. Then we will here the pitter patter of dripping water from the little baby seedlings everywhere. I'm so proud. :)
This is 25x10 for about $20 so I think it’s a little pricier but I don’t feel ripped off at all. Check the mil on Walmart brand maybe. I’m so excited for this space!
Lookin great! My humidity is also incredibly low in my basement and I have been looking to figure something out. I am constantly running out of space and I am very excited for you not having to stress over where to move this flat to!
So happy for you! You finally got your plastic Dexter room! And who doesn’t like Bushy Basil? Thank you Penny and Walter for helping to make it happen.
Closing the seed starting area with green house plastic is such a great idea! I've been struggling with the same humidity problem, and may steal your idea. Thanks so much for sharing!
I picked up a plant from the grocery store. There must be 9 or 10 stems...all very leggy. Having that fragrance in my kitchen is helping me with my spring fever. Headed outside next to bring out my patio furniture, maybe some pots too. I know, we 4b people have several weeks before we can enjoy sitting outside. (Minneapolis here.)
What a great video. I didn’t know about soil blocks. Just ordered some after watching your video. I am a new gardener who bought a house 2 years ago with a greenhouse! I had to learn to garden since it came with the house. I made every mistake under the sun the last 2 years. This year I am going to rock it …LOL, we’ll see.
Nicole! You are my spirit animal. 😂 I do the things, lots of things, and big things. When I saw your thrip problem video, I WANTED to write my prediction .... Nicole will build a greenhouse INSIDE her house or basement SOON, like within days! I knew it! I would do the same. Thank God for your wonderful in-laws. Right now my dining room is my little greenhouse. Guess what I see in my future? My husband can see the writing on the (future greenhouse) walls! You go girl! Your soul sister in Oregon, zone 8b. 💪💐💖☀️
Sweet!!! Great setup, nice that your Father- in-law was there to helpl I can feel your enthusiasm! Get yourself a chair girl ! Even a tall stool will be so useful. I love what you are doing !
I bought some stock seeds haven’t started them yet thanks for showing them. My snap dragons are doing ok I’ve taken of my new heat mat now they are in a south facing window they have their true leaves now
Thanks for the laugh. I giggled at this because I HATE to kill anything and have felt the need to plant them all. I hope this year I am over it! I think we can find the flowers good homes (lol) but in the middle of veggie season when you are over run with zucchini and those tomatoes you just couldn't kill. Yeah. That. And that's AFTER you can. Tee hee. Plant people...
This is so exciting! Great idea and resourcefulness! I have a hard time asking for and accepting help! But every time I do, I'm always glad I did. Happy for you!!!
I did some something similar in my SE Michigan basement several years ago using clear plastic shower curtains. At the time I felt it was weird trying to warm up my basement. Now I think I’ll need to up grade and expand using greenhouse grade plastic. Thanks Nicole.
Hello, love, love, love that you are working on what things cost! I am a big nerd that way, always trying to figure out where the most effort should go. How nice it is you have such great people around you to help. Excellent. Only a flower person could say this, but what a fun place you have made to work in. It's a flower laboratory! (Ah ha ha.) A bit jealous, just gonna say it.
So had to check my stock seedlings, all but 2 are doubles...who knew?! Your In-laws are awesome. The setup is amazing. Don't ever stop your outtakes, you truly make me laugh out loud.
SO EXCITING NICOLE!!!! I can relate to so much of what you said. I am just starting out in my growing journey. You really inspire me and the thing I love the most about you is you are confident in being yourself and the reality of dog hair in the couch... not trying to impress everyone by making everything look perfect. I too CANNOT cull plants. Chickens... no problem.
Only 5 mins in but have an idea for light on yourself for videos, look at Amazon’s Ring Lights. You can get a really nice one that will light you entirely up for $30. It will make you and flowers look amazing 💚
Always enjoy your RUclipss! Must warn you about putting insulation under grow mats. Recently ended up with melted heat mats🙁 due to setting mats on insulation. Luckily were home to avoid a catastrophe
Oh Nicole, how EXCITING! What a great space. I spend way to much time in my "Seed Studio" ...alone...talking to plants, and checking the humidity/temp. bhaaa I know you will understand me! Thanks for sharing! Oh, and...Hello baby lissies👋
Fun project. Culling plants in a "Dexter" room. Seems fitting. You should order a quality knife set though ... WOW, Dexter outdoor knives are a thing .. who new
It looks amazing, hope it works better for you. I’m going to have to garden vicariously through my favorite RUclipsrs because I broke my ankle and I think my season is over before it started.
Excited for you! What a great system for you now. That's awesome that your in-laws helped you. Planning to harden off my plants this week. In Charleston SC.
Very cool! Could you have used plastic covering on your trays? ...I know it probably was easier to make the room with so many trays but I am starting seedlings for the first time. I have heating mats led lights and plastic covering to keep humidity in.
excellent use of your unused basement space...thats exactly what Ive been thinking about...thanks for showing us
Now we are talking! Grow room is growing, weather is getting nice....die thrips die.....life is good!!
Snapdragons are my favorite. 🤩
You are hilarious and your happiness is contagious!
Very nice of the in-laws to help out. They must like you a little ;) The space looks great!
Only 4 hours!? That's awesome. What a difference that will make
Your excitement is contagious! Have fun planting your ranunculus. I can’t wait to see the snapdragons
I live in East TN. A very humid climate. I honestly have NEVER heard of a problem bringing in MORE humidity to a basement. Most around here require a dehumidifier. You have blown my mind lady!
Hahaha. Always nice to have a tall person helping with projects! Looks like a fun project!
I could FEEL your excitement, :) only other plant parents will understand the joy of a perfect growing space.
Holy thrips what a grow room!! You deserve it❤️
I'm trying to watch all your old videos and catch up on you stuff. I've commented on other videos about how much fun it is to watch your content and I'm learning something at the same time. Woot, Woot...🤣

Vaeda your hair looks great and your glasses are very nice!
You look very pretty!
Your enthusiasm is contagious! Please talk about soil blocking verses self watering seed trays. I’m a beginner at flower seeds. Thx
This video made me smile soo much. Thank you!!
You are my favorite "chatty" person EVER!! You make me laugh so hard every time I watch you, and then I need to take a nap lol. Please keep up these wonderful videos!!

Absolutely fabtabulous space!!! Very exciting!
Oh, I love your sense of humor!
💐😂
Yes she is lovely and beautiful . . . Oh and so is the new grow room! Congratulations 🥰😍😋
Awesome idea
You are definitely set up now to grow thousands and thousands of seeds. I have a big week ahead of starting tons and tons of seeds!
I seriously just called my kids up to watch part of this to show them that their mother is NOT the only one who is in LOVE with her plant babies! As you can imagine, eye rolls.

That looks so awesome, fantastic to have an enclosed and dedicated space like that, love it! The bushy basil comment cracked me up 🤣
I picked up a plant from the grocery store. There must be 9 or 10 stems...all very leggy.
Having that fragrance in my kitchen is helping me with my spring fever.
Headed outside next to bring out my patio furniture, maybe some pots too.

Do ya love it?!?! 😜 you crack me up. Love the excitement over your grow room.

Iam going to do this in my barn.😊
LOVE Love your Garden Woman Cave!!! So nice to have the right space & tools to be productive at what you love!!! 💐❤

Tah dah!!! Wow. Fantastic. Ingenious. I am thrilled for you. This will really give people lots of great ideas. Yay!
I bought some stock seeds haven’t started them yet thanks for showing them. My snap dragons are doing ok I’ve taken of my new heat mat now they are in a south facing window they have their true leaves now
Oops forgot to say you have an amazing grow room now
Good idea using the basement flower girlfriend! Super good luck! Don't forget a fan for air circulation!
There is one in the corner! I need a larger one though and hope to mount it on the wall.
Yay, so happy for you, it looks amazing! And total Dexter vibes🤣😍
Love your excitement it’s contagious
Girl I saw your video I freaking love it woohoo 🥳 I love it
"If you're interested in culling plants...."
No judgment. 😂🤣
Thanks for the laugh. I giggled at this because I HATE to kill anything and have felt the need to plant them all. I hope this year I am over it! I think we can find the flowers good homes (lol) but in the middle of veggie season when you are over run with zucchini and those tomatoes you just couldn't kill. Yeah. That.

Omg I died laughing 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Great job
This is so exciting! Great idea and resourcefulness! I have a hard time asking for and accepting help! But every time I do, I'm always glad I did. Happy for you!!!
What a fantastic set up! I can see why you are thrilled.
Congratulations! It's beautiful! It will really up your seed starting game! Love your vids!
Wow! Very cool! I have an office chair that rolls where I start my seeds, it works great.
I did some something similar in my SE Michigan basement several years ago using clear plastic shower curtains. At the time I felt it was weird trying to warm up my basement. Now I think I’ll need to up grade and expand using greenhouse grade plastic. Thanks Nicole.
Awesome personality. Love your big time passion and fun loving nature.
Thank you!
I love your energy so much!!
Wow. 34% humidity...
I'm LUCKY to get the humidity that low in my HOUSE!! hahaha!!
💡I like your new Dexter
ideas!! 💡💡💡
I can just see you talking to the hubs:
Hey Brad Pitt-
How can we turn the basement into Texas??
Absolutely perfect way to go! So glad your in-laws were able to help you. It’s going to be an awesome space for you.
your excitement could be contagious! Have you run everything by the CDC? Somewhere to sit? do you EVER sit down? Keep up the inspiring work!
Hi Nicole, your videos are great, Your flowers are beautiful
SO So fantastic!!! You deserve that lil love space for sure!! XXOO
It’s amazing!
I love it!
Looks great! Adding the clown clip was hilarious!
Oh Yessssss, Girl!! This is tremendous! Good for you! I am so excited for all you can grow there!
Yay thank you! 💐
I'm so excited you did this. I'm glad you did a video on it too. I saw it was driving you to worries. Me too. Lol. Nice job.
WOW! Fantastic job! So excited for you.

You are my hero! I am right now trying to figure out how to do this in my basement!
So had to check my stock seedlings, all but 2 are doubles...who knew?! Your In-laws are awesome. The setup is amazing. Don't ever stop your outtakes, you truly make me laugh out loud.
SO EXCITING NICOLE!!!! I can relate to so much of what you said. I am just starting out in my growing journey.

So happy for you! Congratulations on your new seed propagation room! 😊💖👍🌺🌸🤩
I always wait eagerly for your videos. I always go back to last years planting season and watch everything again 💙
So excited for you!
Only 5 mins in but have an idea for light on yourself for videos, look at Amazon’s Ring Lights. You can get a really nice one that will light you entirely up for $30. It will make you and flowers look amazing 💚
I have a major ring light! I just move the camera angle so often it’s a bit cumbersome. I’m going to figure it out !
Your face when you said culling plants...so cute! I can't kill plant babies either.
😂
OMG it looks SO good! And you have SO MUCH SPAAAAAAAAACE! (The Dexter/Home Alone clips were perfect)
Always enjoy your RUclipss! Must warn you about putting insulation under grow mats. Recently ended up with melted heat mats🙁 due to setting mats on insulation. Luckily were home to avoid a catastrophe
Oh dear Patty! Thanks for the warning! I’ve been doing this for a few years and never had an issue. I’ll be keeping an eye on it definitely.
So brilliant!! Such a great idea!!
Looks great, your. Daughter looks cute in her new glasses 🤓
I love the new grow room. I've been think about doing something like that in my garage. I'm glad to here you got the thrips under control!
Oh Nicole, how EXCITING! What a great space. I spend way to much time in my "Seed Studio" ...alone...talking to plants, and checking the humidity/temp. bhaaa I know you will understand me! Thanks for sharing! Oh, and...Hello baby lissies👋
Fun project. Culling plants in a "Dexter" room. Seems fitting. You should order a quality knife set though ... WOW, Dexter outdoor knives are a thing .. who new
Just a suggestion' Try using 2 sided Velcro on the entrance/Overlap.....Cheers.....
I was planning to use magnets! Good idea 👍
I literally watched this immediately when it uploaded. Why am I getting a notification just now?
The same thing has been happening to me a few times a week with my subscriptions. I think it’s a RUclips issue 🤷♀️🤔
OMG Dexter lol....hide the knives...has anyone been dismembered by a soil blocker lol
Yep, Dexter was the first thing that popped into my mind .. lol
😂
😂
I just love you and your videos! You make me smile. That grow room looks good, too!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks amazing, hope it works better for you. I’m going to have to garden vicariously through my favorite RUclipsrs because I broke my ankle and I think my season is over before it started.
Great family help 🙌🏼.
Love the “Look how messy it is, I don’t care!” 🤣Yes real life, yea real person!!!! Looks great!!!!
Gotta keep it real!
Cool Grow Room! That should help you with production. Great looking 🌱🌱.
Wow. You are doing great!
Good job...way to go Pitts
Eryngium!!! Sea Holly! MY NEW FAVORTE!!
Excited for you! What a great system for you now. That's awesome that your in-laws helped you. Planning to harden off my plants this week. In Charleston SC.
Very cool! Could you have used plastic covering on your trays? ...I know it probably was easier to make the room with so many trays but I am starting seedlings for the first time. I have heating mats led lights and plastic covering to keep humidity in.
I do cover all of my trays as well while they germinate!
Yesss! I love the DIY of it.
Woww u did it girl
