- In this video Tyler explains the propagation of new seedlings from seed and the science behind optimal germination and production of healthy seedlings for your vertical farm.
He covers stratification- the natural conditions that will induce germination and scarification-increasing germination rate.
He also walks you through best practices for planting, transplanting as well as watering and adding nutrients.

Thank you so much for your feedback. More to come! if you have specific requests for content please don't hesitate to message us at hello@zipgrow.com. Happy growing! 🌱
Love these videos and the new energy. I’d like to see an entire process from seed to harvest. I think the Zip system is one of the best and I’d like to see the full function.
Great suggestion! We will be producing lots more new content for 2022 so stay tuned and subscribe if you didn't already!
Good video. The content was helpful and informative. Thank you so much for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow great education of seedlings
Thanks for visiting. Be sure to subscribe for future videos. More to come in 2022!
Very informative. thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
👍 some new info for me, so thank you very much.
Our pleasure!
Are you putting out an updated crop list/guide from seed starting to harvest?
Hello! You can find a free crop list guide here- zipgrow.com/wp-content/uploads/QuickCropsGuide.pdf
video, I watch it all the time and I watched some videos several times.
When did you create an interesting growing system?
The ZipGrow system was originally created by Dr. Nate Storey as part of his PHD. We started out as Bright Agrotech and are now ZipGrow. The idea is that it is scalable, simple, modular and accessible and food can be grown year round. Since it's original creation, we have had home growers and farmers successfully grow healthy crops in food deserts, urban locations and at home. This RUclips video may be of interest to you on how Nate developed the towers.ruclips.net/video/zQvBqVfTKhw/видео.html
In addition to zipgrow towers do you also sell all the items presented in this video?
Yes, we do! You can find the DIY seedling cart and more growing supplies in our online store shop.zipgrow.com/
Hi, thanks for the information. I'd like to know what is the depht of water that you use for the irrigation event? I'm growing some seedlings now with a similar ebb and flow system but I have to irrigate them every other day because of the moist, and some green fungus have taken place.
Hi Paula, Damping off is caused by several different fungi which thrive in cool wet conditions. Temperatures below 20C (68F) before germination has occurred and above 25C (77F) after emergence will promote these fungi; try to stay within this range. Excess moisture and too little airflow will also contribute to the problem. After germination your seedlings should dry back somewhat before being watered again; examine your irrigation schedule to make sure you're not overwatering. Having a small fan gently blowing across your seedlings will strengthen their stems but also help fight damping off.
It's also important to sanitize your equipment between grow cycles as the fungal spores can survive on seedling trays etc.
@@ZipGrowInc Hi, thanks for the answer. I didn't know what you say about the temperature, and yeah I also have some problems because I don't already have a temperature and humidity control but I'm working on that. Thaks for your videos and your information is specially usefull for people like me that are from countries with a lack of development in these subjects.
How do you fight with mold and seedling damping off in such moist environment? This is the problem I am having all the time and I do not know what to do...

@@ZipGrowInc Thank you!
I want to do this but I am old and don't know how to grow/farm... it's technically challenging for a non- agriculturist. So many details to learn....so many risk factors. You must know what you are doing.
Start in a spare bathroom/tub!!!!! You WILL inevitably get a leak or spill at some point!!
Yes it can be overwhelming, but like anything, no one is born an expert. Itis all learnable with small steps. Start with a beginner kit. We have lots of instructional videos on our RUclips channel and we are happy to answer any questions hello@zipgrow.com you can find lots of help too on our blog- zipgrow.com/zipblog/
Hi, I'm Saddam Paulino and I'm looking for an opportunity to learn about urban farms and learn English. I'm from the Dominican Republic.
Hi Saddam, thank you for your interest. Make sure you subscribe to our channel. We also have a blog where you can find more articles about urban farms and some of the farmer projects we have been involved in. zipgrow.com/zipblog/ and if you are looking to start your own commercial operation I highly recommend UpStart University. You can start out with a one week trial to see if it's suitable for you. university.upstartfarmers.com/ we have certainly seen an increase in commercial interest from islands and countries like D.R. that typically have high import costs for year round fresh produce. We have supported farmers all over the world. You can find some of them here and read more about their businesses. zipgrow.com/farmers/
