A Seedling Bench for A Home Garden
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 янв 2023
- A 17-inch Happy Leaf Procyon 2.0 LED light fixture provided the lighting for a portable seedling bench. Lettuce and pakchoi seedlings grew equally well for about the first 2 weeks from this seedling bench and from a pole lamp with a residential LED bulb. However, as time progressed to 25 days after planting, the seedlings under the pole lamp became more etiolated and weak, whereas those on the seedling bench with the Procyon light grew well. It was suggested that the Procyon light was designed for plant growing and had a more favorable spectral wavelength than the residential LED bulb.

Listening to you always make me want to give you a hug.
Thanks Matthew!
Listening to Kratky makes me feel like I'm receiving a big, educational hug 😂
Yessssssss
Thank you
Nice seedling bench 🤩 TFS!
Great Video! Thank you so much! We are happy to see your success.
Thank you very much for supplying the Procyon light fixture for this youtube!
@@growkratky5558 Our pleasure! We enjoy your videos so much. Our compliments to the video editor as well.
@@HappyLeafLEDGrowLights Thank you. I use Windows Moviemaker and do my own editing as it helps me develop a story.
I found your video from Mike VanDuzee. Very informative! I love growing in my new greenhouse with your method of growing! Thank you so much Dr Kratke.
Ps… I also live in the PNW.
Great job Bernie! You were right on in explaining why even if you have the same intensity of light that light spectrum or quality makes a world of difference. Thank you for doing the comparison.
Thanks Vic for your kindness and for reinforcing the concept of the importance of light quality! When it comes to information on plant lighting, I look to you and Dr. Bugbee as my top sources.
@@growkratky5558 thank you for YOUR kindness. Vic thoroughly enjoyed getting to talk to you the other day, and hopes he can meet you in person in the near future.
I hate getting older and it's happening to me each years in the last 4 decades...
But, when I watch your video... I get a smile in my face and it help me accepting that it's not because you are getting old that your are done with your life.
You are such an inspirational figure to me.
THANK YOU so much to be a role model Dr Kratky

Thank you Alexandre for your kind comments. I have visited your beautiful city twice. By the way, you are very young as I have more than 3 decades over you!
@@growkratky5558 Thank you for taking the time to answer my comment. Internet is a wonderful tool to share love and give hope to others.
I do have faith in mankind.
I love watching your videos they are always enjoyable and informative. I wish you did more of them.
Thank you!
Great to see you Dr Kratky! Have been trying your hydroponic method on strawberries with relative success in Cape Verde!
You are so krafty, Kratky 🎉
Excellent! I grow exclusively with Happy Leaf LEDs, I bought my first one in December 2017 and have acquired many more since then. This is a helpful side-by-side comparison. My first plant ever grown was with a 6000K 10-watt LED in a flexible neck desklamp, my grow container was a plastic Maxwell House coffee container... we all have to start somewhere, right? I've come to appreciate the value of quality lighting, in both growth performance and in lower energy bills. Big thumbs up for you, kind sir. As always, it is good to see you.
Keep on growing sent me here and I am thrilled... SUBSCRIBED 🤗🌱
Welcome!!
Just learned about you from a Mike VanDuzee video. I'm so glad I followed the link to you. This was a great video very timely, I just ordered a 10x7 greenhouse so I'll have room.
Hope you love the Northwest, I'm from there. Moved to the Ozarks last year, love it as much as I did the NW.
Thank you!
The residentual led bulb you showed has the same type of leds hidden under the plastic cover. It helps dispers the light on a house. However we want all the light going down so i just pop off the cover and get a much higher percentage of the light focused into the plants.
Thank you!
Nice surprise this morning to see you have another video. Are you permanently in the northwest, or returning to Hawaii? Either way, I am happy to see you are still having fun and growing plants.
Thanks Matt! By the way, you are doing great work communicating your indoor gardening experiences on youtube. I have never been anywhere permanently, but I am in the Pacific Northwest now.
@@growkratky5558 Thanks and congratulations on your move. Hawaii is beautiful, but feels very remote to the mainland.
@@growkratky5558 I love this comment, it makes me very happy.
I have enjoyed living different places.
I am trying to make a system where there is zero cost, i use woodchips (dark 1 year decomposed) sifted finely for seed germination, in recycled small plastic cups (slightly bigger than net cups) the bottom is cut with sissors 3 times to create 3 narrow eliptical holes for roots, i use compost tea and urine for nutrient as well, natural light in a greenhouse uses less water but can be outside too. I use recycled plastic containers for the water storage but i have failed the plants as the containers arent uniform and it is difficult to gauge how much water to add manually as each plant uses different amounts, i have harmed plants by adding too much nutrient or too much/ too little water, next i will think about automation and ease of maintenance and watering using gravity only.
one of my cherry tomato plants grew so big it half filled my 7x10x20 hoophouse in just a 2 gallon container. Plenty of sweet tomatoes too. Thank you for sharing your ideas i have used on my $zero budget journey.
Thank you for sharing your experiences! You are very creative.
Hi wanted to talk to you about my Kratky bucket when you get a chance
Great video, very useful. By the way, do your ancestors come from Slovakia? The Kratky method originally caught my attention solely because of your surname. Thank you.
Thank you! My ancestors came from Czechoslovakia and I have distant relatives there whom I have never met.
@@growkratky5558 Oh that's cool, you should visit them some day! There's also an agricultural university in Nitra in Slovakia and they would definitely welcome a lecture from you. You could inspire some young minds.
@@maherzad Thanks, I'll look into that, but I don't have any long trips planned.
