1. Soil - loose enough for the seeds’ roots to penetrate 2. Water - just enough 3. Humidity - greenhouse to keep the moisture 4. Heat - important to note especially when temperatures are dropping outside; use heat pads if necessary 5. Light - to avoid leggy seedlings; adding a fan is optional i watched almost all of your videos and they really help me so much! thank you for sharing your knowledge on gardening ♡

This guy looks genuinely happy running this farm.... he's never not smiling.

I love how your videos are short, direct, simple, & organized 💞 there are some gardening channels I follow but just don’t watch because I can’t watch an hour long video.. even if I speed it up!

You're the best gardening KZfaqr ever! Your informative, easy to understand and to the point! Thanks for sharing!

This guy is just infectiously happy makes me want to go out and do some happy gardening! His videos are perfect short and straight to the point been binge watching his videos I think I will have better results this year.

Your videos are so informative and best of all to the point and not overly complicated. Please keep posting! I'm going to try gardening for the first time this year. Thank you!!!!

Namaste Ji, I appreciate all of your videos and am thrilled to keep watching. I’d like to share an experience I had for the benefit of your health and the health of others. I was working with organic compost and got sick with Legionnaires disease. One way to prevent getting this is to wear gloves!!! I always use gloves now and recommend you protect yourself as well! Keep up the spectacular work! Jin de raho

Thanks for ur tips on successful seed germination. Was having problems with my seedlings but will try ur suggestions. Thanks again

I'm so glad I found these videos. They're so helpful, and they just make me happy to watch. Thank you!

Discovered your videos tonight and really enjoying them. I'm a complete novice who is keen to start growing seedlings from home. So thank you. I'm learning alot from your videos. Greetings from Durban, South Africa

I'd never heard of applying wind to make seedling stems strong. Great tip and great video, Jag!

The first year operating my nursery, I was puzzled about why the germination was very low during the rainy season. It was by accident that I discovered why. It's good you have these videos for us s. Thank you

I have a hothouse instead of a greenhouse and I love it! Humidity, heat, and pest-free! Thank you for the great info!

Thanks Jag !

Really happy for you and your new adventures on your new property. All the best, and thank you for your wonderful educational videos

Thanks again for taking the time to make this video to teach me about starting seedlings. Much appreciated.

Lots of down to earth suggestions, this will help lots of gardeners including me, thank you very much, like the shorter videos as well.

Here where I live in deep in South South Texas its hot and humid...now I know why anything I throw to the ground grows. I'll appreciate more my climate now 😊

Nicely done, Jag. Great advice and well presented in a brief, easy to comprehend style. Thank you.

Thanks, this exactly what I was looking for. I envy you for the sun. It's mid May and we didn't see this yet in Toronto.

Thank you for taking the time to teach.

Love the idea of the rolling racks...

Many times when you are young you do not know how to appreciate something and when you are old you value it. In Mexico, in Monterrey, my mother threw the seeds of tomato, melon, watermelon, papaya, in the patio and they grew, they did not need absolutely anything, nothing at all.

my seed starting mix is 1/3 pete moss 1/3 vermiculite & 1/3 pearlite in toilet paper rolls.

You are so well equipped my friend. So jealous of you.

Thank you the trolley idea is great! I didn't realize wind makes them stronger so that's good to know. Appreciate your vids 💋

So glad to follow a grower in California. Your tips were on point

I really enjoy your chanel, lots of awesome content and information. I have learned so much from you, THANK YOU!

thank you so much, your videos are my favourite bingewatching on this lockdown! very informative, straight to the point.. 5 star !

That shelf idea is a really good one

My new favorite gardening channel!

Great tips. Thanks.

wow thank you so much my seedlings have become leggy and i got worried but i will follow your instructions. i also subscribed yay !

Great tips. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏

You have such an awesome set up! Another great video 👍💪 I hope you and your farm stay safe over the next few months.

Very informative and helpful, what a friendly video, Thanks

Jag you are awesome I learned so much from you thanks

Found my favourite gardening videos. Straight to the point. Thanks so much

Jag, you’re brilliant. I love your content and delivery. So useful.

Can you make a video on what I need to buy to start my small plantations. For example small or even big equipments, what types of sand/soil and what types of pots. I am really new at this and really want to start planting.

I enjoy your videos and narratives. In our areas in UK , strong wind destroyed my many seedlings and mature plants.

Thank You for being real. Not the typical youtber ego. Nice to see

Thanks for the tips! I'm starting to grow some herbs and also saplings from seeds for bonasi and would (hopefully) like to get it right the first time, great to know for a newbie like myself

Good to water from the bottom an when they break soil have a little air flow. But you got the idea so many growers fail the first couple times counting me an sterilize. sterilize . sterilize. Thanks for the info

I needed this . Thanks for sharing 👍🏽🤝

Lots of great ideas! Thanks for the video

I just watched 3 of your videos, & I officially LOVE 💙💙💙💙 UR CHANNEL..

Ok. First, your video was under 6 minutes. That's a big plus. Some other youtube videos will go on for 14 minutes to cover the same thing you did in 5 + minutes. Also you got right to the point on your key things to focus on. I live in California also and am taking my 2nd attempt to grow a garden (First time rodents and squirrels destroyed everything a few years back). All your tips were practical and attainable. Thanks again!

Thank you from Philippines!

I water mine once a day. Mine are sprouted from seed straight in the garden. The soil is a little dense but not too bad. It holds the water well and drains well. But I've only just made my second attemtp at a compost pot. Hopefully this one turns out better than the first one. Need to find some worms though. My yard only has really tiny ones.

Thanks so much. Very informative.

Good video, even though, California has advantages and disadvantages. the main advantage is lots of sun and heat. The disadvantage is the lack of water. Somehow you make it work, well done.

I wasn’t doing the last one😔 thanks for teaching us! Also, did you lose some lbs? Farm work is not easy, make sure you get good rest and nutrition!

I love using my spinach container. They are so reusable too. Cool about sugar cane. I was watching videos on it earlier this week. I’m intimidated by harvest.

Jag, thank you for this information. I do have a question - do you water seeds after planting and before they germinate? I have them covered in the dome as you mentioned but then the watering part in your video was when the seedlings had popped up - hence the confusion! Thanks again for sharing all your experience ... and your happiness in growing food!

Jag g, can you teach how to grow indian chillies, as we do not get in Nederlands, I would like to grow. Also teach me how to construct economical green house , and maintain temperature(mainly in early spring n fall). As we have short summer. I am new so your guidance will be appreciated.

Great tips & video . Thanks

oh my, sugercane!! I miss it so much, definitely gonna to grow it here if you success!!

I've began germinating some fresh seeds (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and watermelon 🍉) on a wet paper towel in a ziplock bag and planned to transplant them in the dirt later when they did germinate-- I was wondering, what you think about this technique, and if you have any suggestions regarding these plants I've started?

Hi, i live in a very warm place. i took my seedlings outside to get light bc they became very leggy. however, their leaves were curling bc of the heat. 🙁

The rack on wheels is a great idea for daylight sun. Thanks.

Great video!! Have you ever used hydrogen peroxide to aid in seed germination and if so, what ratio?

Dang! Reuse the plastic salad containers, brilliant!

Jag, at what temp should I take seedlings outside?

Thank you for the video. So, seedlings don't require a dome indoors to germinate on a heat mat? When do you take them off the heat mat? Thank you.

Awesome video on seedlings...but what did you say to make them stronger if they are thin & weak?

How do you stop fungus gnats from developing in soil for seedlings?

Very very helpful video and I was able to point out mistakes I made. Can you do a video on how to grow granny Smith apples please

This is very informative thank you love from South Africa

Thank you so much, great info!

Great videos! Glad I found your channel. I’m curious, I grew some ground cherries in a container with a cover. The seeds sprouted and grew quickly. Within less than a hour of removing the cover, the plants all died. What is a good way to transition the plants to avoid this? Thank you.

Great video Jack 👍

Jag I wait for your uploads. Thank you.

hey good sir, can you teach on how to grow something in a hot climate but the seeds need a colder temperature

Hi Jag, great video, nice gardening tips, thank you once again

Very important info! Thank you for sharing!

De icing cables good for bottom heat

Great VIDEOS 👍🇺🇸

Really really good info!! Thanks.

I always enjoy your videos

thanks a lot my friend

How do you prevent damping off in the humid domes?

Thank you! Came upon your video after a Google search on seedlings and I learned a lot about what is possible. Really helpful, will be subscribing.

My spinach seedlings are eaten away by root maggots andthey all died . I have also sown some other seeds. Do you have quick solutions that can kill root maggots so that I can save my seedlings?

I like your every videos...that's for given us interesting videos

How long do you leave your domes on your plants for?

If you are not in a totally dry climate you should avoid top watering very young plants or seeds. Tends to get you more damping off disease. Bottom water only as much as possible, especially tomatoes!

I live in HOT and dry Southern California and growing celery, lettuce and carrots has been hard. Carrots always get leggy and I fight to try and put more soil on them while they’re planted in a bucket and then also testing out in one of my built raised beds. I would love to try the container for humidity but if I try that, do I keep it in the shade or sun? Also when it grows in it and the lid of course is not as tall as the lettuce 🥬or so would grow, do I open it and leave it?

Hi Jag, When would you usually transplant the seedlings of a flower plant?

Please tell more about heat mats. Thank you.

thank you for sharing

so when take plastic lide off? do leave on until nice green and think or do pull off when grow top lid ?

Nyc information I will Impliment in my garden

You are awesome, thanks for the amazing video

Just planted my seeds in an egg carton, lightly covered and watered them. It’s April and very sunny here in GA. Should I leave them outside in the sun or let them sprout in a somewhat lit window seal?

great video thanks for sharing
