I just found your channel and am really enjoying it so far! I’m in north Florida, somewhat similar zone so it’s super helpful, good information and you have BEAUTIFUL flowers. Wow. Thanks for doing what you’re doing.
I really like your personality and vibe. I like that you are not trying too hard to be a youtuber.. just a dope gardener. I learned a lot on this video and I watch A LOT of content. Keep it up man.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to make and post this video. I bought some Jiffy Seedling Starter Mix which looked a lot like coconut coir was a main ingredient. That stuff didn't soak/accept water for beans. I came looking for info on coconut coir and your video was very helpful. This has helped me understand CC better. The bit about applying nutrients from the get-go with CC is very helpful. Thanks again.
I just started using this too!!! I planted monstera seeds with great success and also just did some hot Thai chili 🌶 seeds I saved and yep today all 🌱! Winning!
Wow this video is super informative! Thank you ☺️ I watch a lot of plant / gardening YT and this video is quality! I have many sweet pea starts and I cannot wait for blooms. You’ve gained a sub and I hope you put out another video soon.
the most beautiful blue flower in my mind is the wild chicory. they are all over Tuscany and California,my two homes and theres no greater joy than waking up to fields of periwinkle blue. they close during the heat of midday. they are perennial, self seed and,if you like the bitter chicories, are a great addition to salads and stir fried greens.
Thanks for sharing! I started seeds outdoors in my greenhouse without any supplemental lighting and I have mixed results. I just setup lights in my garage and I'm going to test the difference to see if there is any.
This was so well done! Thank you for sharing this journey with us. I'm going to start growing a lot of seeds this year using coconut coir as well, but I'll mix mine with some perlite since we have high humidity in the PNW.
I'm glad you said that about the fan. My delphiniums suck. I'm going to point a fan at them, or the one plans which hasn't perished and see if that helps with that dastardly mold. Luckily I have a fresh batch which just germinated with some dianthus. I hope they're all fancy! Now I'm going to look for coco coir too.
Personally, I think video length was perfect and thank you for sharing the process as well as the amazing comparison (17 wks vs. 6 wks) - I'm convinced to try coco coir with more vigor!
a very informative and must say relaxing video. Enjoyed seeing that coir work well with some seedling and not with others. Question, when you finally plant the seedling into your garden does the coco coir break down and become part of the soil?
The problem is Coco coir doesn’t just use water to rinse off the salt, it uses harmful chemicals. Then they have to use massive amounts of water to rinse off those chemicals. Those chemicals are than rinsed back into the waters of the poor and already polluted countries we are importing the coco coir from
Do you have any problems with fungus gnats using coir? I always get so many with bagged potting soil. Coir may be a solution if it does not produce fungus gnats.
I definitely noticed a few fungus gnats here and there before I realized my fan wasn’t working. I eventually got the moisture situation under control and I haven’t seen them since.
I was thinking that too, but then read fungus gnats actually like coir. I don't understand why consider coir is hard to break down, that's what I heard... I'm having a battle with fungus gnats
I can see that combed coir on Luna and now can't get it out of my head. Reasonable James has really upped the production quality of his vids. The audio is so clear and well paced. That was an incredible difference between the two rudbeckias. As always, thanks for sharing your experience and expertise.
Seedlings don't need fertilizer for the first week or two. Mother Nature blessed them with everything they need right inside the seed itself. The cotyledon leaves (seed leaves) are a perfect example. Once the first set of true leaves (normal looking leaves) comes in then fertilizer can be applied.
Seedlings do need fertilizer in the first week or two. I'm doing an experiment and could already tell a difference in the first week or two between potting soil and soilless with no added fertilizer
Remember to rinse your (tropical) Coco several times to flush out the salt and fine sand. This also washes free all the tiny particles which together can act like a clay.
You are like my idol. Please don't stop making videos. You're really good at explaining and handsome as well.
am only 6minutes into the video & I already love your advice! Cheers from Australia. 😊
We miss your videos. Come back, Little Sheeba (Baetanical)!
So excited for the upcoming season's flowers! Your flower videos are my favorite :)
Great stuff. Your note on coir not having nutrients probably saved most of my plants. Thank you!
Ahh i love your channel so much!

When do you add the fertilizer and the seaweed mix, while mixing the perlite and coir?

Thanks Megan! Just here to spread what I learn! It’s all about the plants and flowers :)

Very enjoyable to watch.
Your video has provided me the encouragement and the help needed to try starting seeds indoors for the first time. Thank you.
Really dig your videos, would love to see the next phase of growth for these plants. Keep up the great work!

Organized presentation. Great job. Thanks.
Beautiful video man A1 thanks! 😊
I hope you grow sunflowers again! I very much enjoyed your Sunflower diaries video! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Love blue flowers

Cool video...like the production where you show the growth...not sure I would have the patience
nice time lapse photography
Thanks for your share

Peat also has a natural ph of around 4-4.5, if I'm not mistaken. That could be one issue for germination without additional treatment.
Anyone know what that background song is? so cool
Can it be done in zone 9A without a plant life.
This is awesome but I couldn’t afford that light setup 😢
Can you just plant the seed in the bigger pot avoiding transplant? Or is that not ok?
How to use the fertilizer
How much PPM/EC buff with nutrinets your Coco coir if you put seeds . or this is water ?
Depends on the nutes used, follow the instructions
Do you have any problems with fungus gnats using coir? I always get so many with bagged potting soil. Coir may be a solution if it does not produce fungus gnats.

How do you sow oriental poppies? Seeds are so small. Dust

Pronouncing it as choir is the correct pronunciation.

Why not try to planting a peony in your garden...
