If you think your seedlings are behind in plant growth these are the tricks you want to try! Getting rapid growth from your seedlings needs to be more "bush" and not leggy & longer growth because this results in weaker plants. This Gardening In Canada video looks at science-based ways to rapidly increase the growth of your seedlings before you pop them outside.

Ashley has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor's degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley's interests are KZfaq, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley's KZfaq channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her KZfaq channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.

I work in a children's hospital and how we describe lackluster growth of young humans is "Failure to Thrive". We can all acknowledge this is not a nice term for parents to hear, so there is a push to move to the term "Growth Faltering". Which, IMO, is frankly not much nicer... Sometimes you just have to use negative words to describe a negative outcome.

@@TiffanyL50 Fully agree. Dated medical jargon is a lot like date scientific jargon. It is hard to eradicate long used diagnoses/terms or switch to verbiage that is less likely to hurt and offend. I walk into every room of a child not growing well and explain to parents this does not mean they are a failure as a parent. I do think in person most medical staff and physicians refer to the child as "not growing well", but often in charts the listed diagnosis remains "Failure to Thrive".

My best growth was when I placed my seedlings on top of electric blanket, hung lights over them, and added some wind by recycling an old computer fan. I had an old DC power plug so I connected those wires to computer fan wires and added a plug from some toy. This provided a very gentle wind when seedlings started to have their 2nd leaves. This improved air circulation and strengthened the stems. You could barely see them move, but it did make a difference. The heat blanket made my tomatoes sprout in 3 days! My tomatoes were 16 inches tall in 1 month! They were too big when I did it the first time and I didn't expect such growth, but the weather outside was just not ready for them.

I have a 15w Sansi bulb on my tomato plant right outside my camper under the edge of the steel roof over it. I ran the extension cord through a hole cracked in the small window. The light is on a clip. I vastly increased the growth. The other tomato plant that gets no light is about 20 inches tall..no fruit yet. The one with the light has multiple fruits and is nearly 5 feet tall. I have micro tomatoes growing inside and plan to grow cucumbers inside next winter. FUN FACT: In winter 500 watts of LED lights = 500 watts of heat. So you can use winter heat to grow food.

@dustyflats3832 19 күн бұрын

So what I’ve noticed is heat makes a huge difference in growth. Learned that growing non-stop begonias. They wouldn’t budge until I increased the heat. This year I started peppers Way too early and slowed them down by getting them out to a cooler greenhouse. I never use fertilizer as there is enough in the potting mix. I use 12 hours of light morning to night as onions are particularly sensitive to day length. I start indoors and they move out to greenhouse once our temps warm enough to heat the greenhouse. Most flowers are started in germination trays then potted up, but vegetables get their own cell packs. I think two of the biggest problems many have is starting Way too early and overwatering and partly to do with not enough perlite in heavy soil. Sufficient lighting is another. For hardening off I recently potted up some veg (peppers, eggplants, tomatoes) and flowers and they have been doing fine under a glass patio table on a raised deck with nights in mid 40s F. The greenhouse is full😂 and more still going out so sink or swim. Most of the peppers are out in the GH or already transplanted under a frost covered tunnel. The tomatoes are still mainly in the house as I was disciplined enough to start them at just the right time this year so they can go from root prune 4 cell packs to garden and no potting up. We plant out normally by end of May with last frost date 5/12-Z5a, WI. About giving plants darkness-a break- is true. One year I wondered why some annuals didn’t flower and realized they were under our yard light that stays on all night.

Vigorous tomatoes with strong ‘bones’. but the second ones I planted two weeks later did not. I’ll have a whole year to research the day/ night temps and light. Thank you for giving me a good direction to go.

I used that fertilizer for the first time this year and it has made a huge difference. I don't know if it is species specific, but I was fertilizing everything in the greenhouse and absent-mindedly did my honey locust trees. I had not intended to, since finding info for locust tree seedings has been a challenge. They were started from seed mid March and were doing well in a potting soil, but after the promix root fertilizer, they need the big pots so they don't girdle themselves and they are a foot tall. They are part of the legume family but are not nitrogen fixing, so maybe that had something to do with it? I am so pleased with them and it's so cute how they fold their little leaves up at night. Thanks to your videos, I have had the most successful year yet with my plants!

You're channel is very informative! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge 😊 I am new to gardening and totally confused with fertilizers, some of them say organic and some don't. I have little children and I am always worried about using the non-organic fertilizers. Would you know if the Promix Root Booster is organic? You're assistance would be greatly appreciated 😊

Not organic. But don’t stress about the organic vs. Non-organic it’s safe. It’s all the same stuff. Plants can only take up nutrients in specific forms.

Trying to make sure I understand. Is the temperature differential to be concerned about the ambient (air) temp or soil temp? For example, If I recreate in my house, should I be upping the thermostat at night or growing my seedlings off of the heat mat during the day and on the heat mat overnight? Apologies if I missed the distinction in the vid. I've watched twice so far to check my understanding.

Do you ever experiment with gibberelic acid? It is super cheap, and relatively easy to mix up and use. Does fascinating things to young plants, and can bring old plants out of dormancy, or any funk they may be in. Love dropping a high concentration on to a singular bloom... And watching it grow to hilarious sizes. 42 pound cabbages?!? Well, those are just normal, no gibbing done there, just lots of water, sunlight, and fertilizer... 😂🥬

Zero, constant temp is accurate what is important for seeds.

is it easier to water with warmer water ranges vs balancing the huge air mass temps? keep in mind it will also change what soil ameneties filter out faster

@85jacob85 5 күн бұрын

So with temp, let's say I'm starting some tomatoes and I have a heat pad for germination. The info I've had is that I should turn off the pad after sprouting. I don't have a thermometer or anything, just stable inside temp of around 21, would you suggest just keeping the heat pad on all the way until planting out? If so what temp would you set it to? Love your vids.

Does stem elongation continue with future plant nodes? Will a leggy seedling result in a very tall plant, and a bushy stocky seedling result in a bushy stocky plant? I wouldn't mind shorter determinate tomatoes, especially cherry tomatoes, it can be a hassle to deal with 10ft tall plants.

A little confused... Thank you for this fantastic info. I am behind on my starts this year, seems like there still could be hope. I am in NY, USDA zone 5B. I do my starts indoors on heating mats and would love for the community to help me check my understanding. Is it 30 degrees C during the day and 20 degrees C at night? Should I follow the same 12 hour and 12 hour approach for heat? How long do I keep the heat up for? Days? Weeks? If I elevate the plants above the heating mats once they germinate will that work for heating or should I switch to a heater? Thanks

I accidentally did the positive heat thing with some seeds. I started all the seed packs I had (except the biennials) and the second flat had basil, dahlias, and other tender things. I put them out for the 12 degree days and brought them in for the night in the warm house. I was nervous that that change was harming them but I could not leave them outside for the overnight lows. I was surprised what grew. I have a dahlia from some pretty old seed. It is nice to know it is a Good Thing! 😉

Hi, won't you short circuit your Inkbird Temperature Controller since it is only 1100W and your Utilitech heater is 1500-Watt?

She might be able to get away with it since the limit is the heat dissipation from the wire gauge inside the controller.. which will be cold when running at 1500W. But insurance probably wouldn't pay if they find that anywhere near a fire.
