- How to Identify and Avoid Overwatering and Underwatering in Seedlings - and It's DAY 31 of our 31 Days of Giving | Zone 5 Gardening
In today's video, we focus on the ever important step of watering seedlings.
We know that overwatering seedlings and underwatering seedlings both can have devastating impacts on your seedling development which can then create huge problems when it is time to plant your garden outdoors. So, in this video we talk about the signs you can look for to determine if your seedlings are either being underwatered or overwatered, and then we talk about proper watering techniques that will help you grow the healthiest seedlings.
Thank you for watching!
Today we have two giveaways.
The first winner receives a $25 Amazon gift card.
The second winner receives both a heat mat and seed starting kit:

Congratulations winners!!
Thank you so much Nikki!
Congratulations to the winners!!
Thank you so much Lora!
Congratulations to the winners! Great topic, still making these mistakes myself. I was just telling my wife today how fascinating it is to see a plant go from droopy and sad to upright and happy after a good watering.
That is so true. Kind of like watching a squash plant mid day and then seeing it perk up when the sun goes down. :)
Congrats to those two people enjoying your videos
Thank you so much David!

Great gardening tips! Just what I needed. Please, keep up the good, and. needed information! 😮
What an incredible video! You are the best teacher…I have watched so many videos and this one gave me everything that I never got from the rest.
Glad it was helpful!
Congratulations to the winners! Often I am guilty of overwatering my seedlings. I’m still working on it.
Thank you so much! Yes, it has definitely been our downfall on more than one occasion. :(
Congrats to the Winners. I try to not overwater and try to not overwater but a fan definitely helps.
We have added a few fans this season, and you are right, they really help.
Very informative!! I’m a new grower and I definitely think this is the problem I’m having starting out.
Congrats to the winners!
I battled fungus gnats a bit already this year. It was really my fault. I wasn't thinking and I brought a small plant from my outdoor green house inside to my grow area. I saw the little gnats the next day but it was too late. It was DE that ultimately fixed the problem.
DE has been a great help to us in the past as well. It is definitely effective!
Congratulations to the winners! The seed germinating mats are great. I have one wrapped around some cacao plants, and they work just as well around pots as under them.
Over- and underwatering are probably both things I tend to do, depending on what each plant needs. I constantly fight with fungus gnats. Sticky traps and tiny spiders have all but eliminated them now, but I'm keeping an eye on them.
I usually bottom water twice a week, but I'll also use a spray bottle on the surface of dry soil to help pull the water up through.
Thank you for your helpful videos, your generosity with the giveaways, and the encouragement within this channel's community. I won those great lights on Day 10, and have already seen a significant difference in my plants.
Thank you so much Frog in Progress! The spray bottle is also something we use for our seedlings when needed. I am so happy that you are seeing success with the lights. I hope you enjoy the upcoming growing season. We really appreciate you!
congrats winners.
Thank you so much Brianna!
Congratulations to the winners! Great prizes! I still find watering my seedlings to be a challenge sometimes, even being an experienced gardener
It is especially challenging when the top looks dry, but a little below the surface it isn't. I think that is likely why many overwater. We have been guilty of that for sure.
Congratulations winner #1
Thank you so much!
Congrats to ALL the winners for the last 31 days!
Thank you so much EnuffsEnuff318!
Good video. I've been farming for like 15 years and it's probably been like 4 years since I really screwed up my seedlings, of which I start around 5,000 at a time. It had been so long since I even thought I overwatered I'm having to relearn the signs and symptoms. My new growth is coming in purple, which leads me to believe the water has diluted the available phosphorous in the seed starting mix. Nothing I can do until this soil dries out though, ugh.
Congratulations to the winner
Thank you Tanner!
Congratulations! Thanks for this topic today, it was just in time.
Thank you so much Polka Dot Panda Design!
Congratulations winner #2
Thank you so much Julie. I hope you are having a fantastic week!
Seedling phase is the moat stressful for sure. If I'm not in solo cups I always under the over and just try to hold on until it's bigger lol
Congrats to the winners! It was so nice to play in the dirt today and start some seeds! Thank you for the content!
Thank you so much Miss Mazie Cat! It is a great feeling to get that dirt under your nails. :)
Another great video and lessons learned! Tomorrow will be the start of watering from the bottom of the trays! I've seen some seeds popping out already and I'm very excited about that!
That method of watering has truly been a game changer for us. Love hearing those seeds are germinating!
At 9:11 you seen to be saying that after sifting the fine particles out you then use the fine particles in your seedling pots but that is the very opposite of good draining . These fine particles are washed out because they fill air spaces and hold excessive water
Woo hoo! Thanks so much. I’ve been battling fungus gnats and watering timing so this video is really helpful. Apple cider traps have helped some, but I’m looking at trying alternatives.
Congrat Lisa! Please email us at gutengardening@gmail.com, and then once we have your email address, we will get that gift card sent your way ASAP! :) We have used apple cider traps as well in the past, with some success.
Congratulations Winners
Thank you Rachelle!
Congratulations
Thank you so much RUNNING Wylde34987!
Congrats to the winners!
Thank you Stephanie!
Great video on a tough subject. I can germinate seeds but having trouble growing them on. Helpful!
Thank you so much for watching! You are right, this can be such a difficult problem to deal with, especially when the germination really gets your hopes up. Have a wonderful weekend!
Congratulations to the winners! Another very timely show. I always learn so much watching ìt.
Thank you so much Judy! We hope you are having a fantastic week!
Thank you for this video. Very informative and thorough.
Thank you so much for watching! We are glad you enjoyed the content.
Thank you so much sir you are so great
Im a newby. Congratulations to the winners. Enjoy your gifts.
Congratulations to both winners! Great tips for guarding against overwatering and under-watering! Thanks for all your research!
You are welcome! Have a great week!
Congratulations winners! It was good to be reminded to not overwater! Thank you!
A very important step to take for sure. Thank you!
Thank you. Excellent information,
Congratulations to the winners! I hate fungus gnats. They are so annoying.!
When they appear, they are suddenly everywhere!! Agreed, they are so annoying!
Can I just sow more seeds in the same potting mix, or do I have to replace that also?
Congratulations winners! I'm definitely guilty of overwatering my seedlings. Fungus gnats are terrible. I've lost a few flats of seedlings from my cats trying to catch the little buggers 🤣
Oh my, I can picture that happening! I can also see how the gnats would attract/annoy a cat so much!
Congratulations
Thanks for the great info!
Congrats to the winners. Thanks for the info.
Thank you so much greg!

Yessir, it looks like your prize should arrive tomorrow. Please let us know when it gets there :)
if its Cannabis i´d say it needs to feel kinda moist and wet pretty much all the time if like here .. even in Denmark if the doctor allowed to grow a Cannabis for Medicinal use they take alot more than alot of regulare i bet cus its from a Tropical China area ,,Originally" i know over 100 variations of them may do well in Nordic reagions and clima BUT some basics may be good for just a kinda thing like Cannabis its around 25*c and a pretty wet area i guess not to overdo it of course but they do require more water than most .. pretty much daily on average .. AKA they do well in moist or wet soils if you got permits for them and they are good looking at basics even if it was for industry or something else fx .. but i guess its to focus center area around the seed then i guess ? if Cannabis that requires water alot fx then you can start with a big pot if done right .. and it will sometimes grow several cm´s at a day if suns on and it has water and right amount of hours of sun and over 20*c average
What if i alredy owerwaterd my seedling to much can i save it?
Guilty of over watering
Aren't we all at some points!
Last year I used coir and it molded. It needs a lot of perlite.
This year using Promix and have a small problem with white mildew/mold. Don’t care for seed starting mix as it’s too muddy. Growing in cell packs with root air layering. Have fans on, but there we have a problem. The cells dry out unevenly from fan. Trying oscillating fan today, maybe it will improve. Today I sprayed sparingly Neem oil on the spots of white mold, we’ll see. Onion starts are looking great and may need to repot before planting out. Wonder if cell packs would do better in a low tray to allow more air. Not all cells dry evenly and trying to figure it out. I used a sprinkle of granular organic fertilizer and water from the top to work in. I have watered from the bottom and that doesn’t seem to evenly hydrate and tray is level.
Herbs attracted aphids? Think I have that covered, but never had this problem before. Using yellow sticky traps for gnats.
What do you advise for fertilizer for food like lettuce grown inside?
Trying artichokes this year and they look like they will be taking over soon.
I also really dislike seed starting mix at least the ones ive tried ,
Fungus gnats are the worst.
They are infuriating!
Love your grow tent. Beautiful work.
Should i use 3 bulbs on my T5 and hang it 7 foot high above my canopy during vegetative, or should i use 3 bulbs and hang my light at 4 foot above canopy. I have 54w bulbs. Should i just use one bulb? Maybe 8 bulbs and hang the light 8 foot above canopy? I have been doing 35in above canopy with 3 bulbs.
I heard a dry spell makes the roots spread.
