    God Bless the Hoss folks. They have completely changed my gardening experience. Born & rasied in Waveland, Ms... could gadren whenever I wanted too. Married Navy Officer.... this fella has moved me to every yankee state.... West coast to East Coast... my gardens were terrible. I couldn't grow anything but flowers... most times.
    Garden veggies just failed.... Once, I found the Hoss folks... I learned everything I was doing wrong.
    Thank you, Thank you!!!
    I bought Hoss Kodiak Brown Mustard (cover crop), Garlic (looking great), Potatoes (planted last wk) and seeds (which are being germinate as we speak).... They're the only folks I buy from now.
    I might actually get to harvest onions this year!!! Holy Cow.

    I just love y'all so much! Every show is always informative and inspiring, and you always joke with each other. I got my brassicas bundle today. I ordered late on the 20th, and got them in 2 days. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE PLANTS ARRIVED FRESH AND BEAUTIFUL!! They looked like they were just pulled from the trays and brought to my doorstep. I planted all of them except for some kale and cabbage. I spritzed the remainder with water, wrapped them back up, and they will get planted tomorrow. I will be ordering some of your trays for seed starting. I was really impressed with the root system on the plants. All were growing to a perfect point. I loved getting outside, and I got dirty, lol. Your company, and both of you ABSOLUTELY ROCK!!

    @davidward1259 Год назад +1

    Well, the Old Goat is behind the "So Excited it's spring" sign behind Mama Hoss on the 2nd shelf. My best solution to leggy plants has been to keep them close to my seed starting LED grow lights once they emerge from the soil. I have high intensity LED sunlight spectrum balanced grow lights and this has been the best solution to prevent leggy plants I've found (mine are T5 replacement type LED's). Once the first set of true leaves emerge, I start to water/fertilize with a 25 to 50% solution of "Jack's 3-2-1" and as the plants grow, keep them close to the LED lights (start at 25% fertilizer strength and as they grow increase to 50% solution at their 150ppm fertigation rate). LED grow lights are so much brighter and less expensive to run and like Greg said, you can get all sorts of "spectrum" type combinations (color of the light). Plus they run so much cooler until you get into the super high powered LED lights which need a heat sink and fans (usually for serious indoor full size plant growing). Instead of moving my lights up and down, I have foam spacers that I put under the plant trays to move them closer to the lights. That lets me have trays that have more than one type/size/age plant under the same light setup and each tray is a custom distance from the lights. My spacers are 1" thick, so adjustment is easy to keep the plants thick, stocky and happy. I made a dedicated seed starting stand from a chrome wire rolling shelf unit with 3 sets of LED lights over each level. Works well for multiple trays of the 12 or 24 cell Hoss trays and all the PropTek trays/flats as well. I run my lights on a timer from 7AM to 11PM (16 hours a day) and some plants remain under the lights even after up-potted from the multi-cell trays until they are moved outside to harden off before planting.

    Old Goat is behind the Excited it's spring sign .
    Been getting dirty all day today, and I'm probably jumping the gun a little early this year, but I Couldn't resist. I transplanted some Kohlrabi into my raised bed today, and went ahead and planted 2 varieties of my Taters. I planted my peppers back at the end of January and they are looking fantastic now. They are already forming their second set of true leaves and i'm throwing some watered down fertilizer to em. Also, I started my fan across em so they can strengthen up.
    One thing that I'd like to know, Is if growing seeds indoors, And you keep the lights on them the entire time. Once it warms up outside, can you just take them straight outside and transplant or is there a period of hardening the plant off to acclimate it to the sun?
