Nice video! I'll have to wait to plant, because it's too cool in my home to germinate right now. Saving your video to watch again later. Thanks!

As long as it's room temperature where you set this up, it should be warm enough for seeds to germinate regardless of the season outdoors.

Easy way to soak seeds. Hope this gets noticed, I see you starting plants/seeds. I have found a way to start seeds quickly, I take an egg tray that would hold 15 eggs (my IDOO has 12 basket holes, same as my MUFGA) and I take some domes and turn them upside down and place them in the egg tray to match where the seeds will be placed in the IDOO/MUFGA. I add a little water and start placing the seeds in the domes the same place as they will be in the IDOO/MUFGA, soak them for 6 hours and then place them in the sponges in the baskets where you want them to germinate. I have had seeds sprout in 2 days done this way. I hope this helps someone.

I realize your Garden Cube does not come with the circular labels you can use to cover the top of the pod baskets. These are needed to help prevent algae from developing on the grow sponges. The mixture of water , light and plant nutrients is a breeding ground for algae so using the labels would help prevent the light from coming into the water.

Thank you so much for this video! Sorry, when do you add the fertilizer included? I unfortunately planted multiple kinds, I'm on day 3 and the dill has started to sprout but I'm not sure how the fertilizing works and how long to leave the little lids on. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help!

@MoondogReviews Жыл бұрын

I put in the fertilizer about every 3-4 weeks when I start to see yellowish new leaves vs bright green new leaves. Take the lids out when the little starting leaves start touching the domes.

The cube instructions say to add the fertilizer after germination....and they show the portions to add. My seeds are all sprouting now and i guess its time to fertilize...but my water level is still at 3L. Do i remove all the water and mix the full portion of fertilizer for 3L and refill?

My dill plants are tilted over big time, with one of them touching the ground a tiny bit. Any idea why? My two theories were 1) they are at the sides of the gardencube so maybe they are growing too much towards the center where the light is or 2) I have it near the window, so maybe they are growing towards the actual sun. My two basil plants in the middle are growing straight up for now. It also seems too early to be able to stake them up. Thanks!

Second question - how often should you fertilize and/or change the water?

@MoondogReviews Жыл бұрын

I add fertilizer ever 3-4 weeks. I haven't experienced a yellowing of the leaves that indicate they aren't getting enough water. I also add more water every 2 weeks or so. It's winter so its very cold in my garage so perhaps that's why the plants haven't been sucking up more water in my case?

@a.p.2356 Жыл бұрын

Do you know how to reset the lighting schedule? I have one of these, but the light doesn't stay on for 16 hours; if I turn it on before I go to work, the light will be off when I return home. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong: the instructions don't go into much detail about the light timer.

They included these green plastic rods in my kit. They go into the little holes next to the planter/cone holes. You use these rods as stakes. I staked up the cilantro and tomato plants to these rods and they've been growing well past the max height of the lamp.

@@MoondogReviews this is true. I became busy and ignored my parsley a couple months ago. I just kept feeding water and once in a while taking a branch off to eat. It became a bush and nearly broke the machine when I finally took notice of what was going on in the corner of my kitchen. I had to basically pry it out, wiggling the giant root out from the hole in the base plate. It eventually came out, but it risked breaking the cover and killing the plant. I got it out in the garden now and it's doing ok. But hopefully won't do that again.

@MoondogIndustries Жыл бұрын

They're support stakes. As the plants grow, they don't have soil to support them and they often start to tip over, so you should tape them to the stakes.

Thanks for making this video! Quick question for you: I am trying to grow multiple herbs (cilantro, parsley, basil, dill). Some of them have germinated, so I have removed the lids, but others have not. Is it okay to start adding the nutrients before the others germinate?

@MoondogIndustries Жыл бұрын

That should be fine. But be advised that growing mixed herbs is problematic. I found that the plants have drastically different growing rates. My tomatoes quickly overgrew my basil and choked off it's light. My basil ultimately failed. The cilantro kept up but barely. Don't be afraid to prune if the plants get too tall. Hope you subscribe.

You can cut it from the Cube. Though I'm not enough of a hortaculturist to know if the herb will grow faster in a pot or hydroponics. I suspect the later but I don't have the data to back that up.
