and always at worms wane.com welcome to
growing indoors I'm joy Barrett we're
gonna get our seeds started for our
coconut coir and our hydroponics system
now behind me is kind of the beginning
stages of how we got things set up so
we've found it an opportune time to get
the seed started so once we get
everything set up behind us we can get
the seeds right in the starts right in
the containers and get growing that way
now we're gonna have ten containers that
we're going to grow in now with the ten
containers
we're gonna have some we're gonna go
through everything that we're in a plan
here now the three tomatoes I've got
sitting here are what we propagated from
the outdoor garden now let's go out to
the garden and take a look at how we
propagated these and then we'll come
back in I'll explain the other things
that we're going to start in the in the
cups here to put in our growing indoors
okay so we're gonna start some of the
seeds inside with our hydroponic system
we're going to do an experiment we're
going to start some tomato seeds from
seed inside but we're also gonna take
some propagations
since it's still warm outside and our
tomatoes look great on the vine
there's no dead leaves there's a little
blight over on this one but a lot of it
was prevented from the whole grain corn
meal that we put around the base at the
beginning of planting so we're gonna
take some propagation we're going to
take a propagation from the white giant
from the black Krim and we're gonna take
some off of a good branch from the pink
Brandywine now the key to good
propagation is you want to find an
outward plant or an outward limb here
and you want to go down about six inches
or so and that's what I'm going to do
here make sure your hands are clean your
your cutting device is clean because
you're going to you're gonna cut this
it's going to take and we'll cut it now
what we'll do with that is we're going
to head and
we're going to cut everything off but
the top leaves now there is some flowers
here we're going to cut those off as
well I want to keep everything except
for the top two leaves then we'll take
this inside and we're just going to put
it in a some walk all a little hair
follicles there those can be those will
grow into roots once we get it in some
water okay on our pink Brandywine now
for those who may be a little new to the
tomato variety pink brandywine's have a
very unique brandywine's in general
tomato plant have a very unique leaf
pattern compared to the traditional the
other tomatoes in in other varieties so
with the pink Brandywine here oh I like
this guy right here this looks like a
really healthy one I'm gonna cut it
there I want to trim back all the
unnecessary leaves and take that flower
off going to take the flower pot off at
the top and there's pink Brandywine and
now let's go over and do the white giant
tomatoes as well and we're gonna go
ahead and put that in some water in the
house and Mark all these so we know what
type of tomatoes because unlike the
Brandywine we'll know how to define that
when these other two gonna be a little
more difficult to determine so we're
gonna start these in water we're gonna
start some other ones in the traditional
seed starting method and we're gonna
wait and see which ones turn out best
and those will be the ones we put in our
hydroponics or our inter coconut coir
planting for our growing indoors so
those are the three that we've
propagated from outside now I'll take
several days for the roots to develop
and we're also going to start some in
the cups here and then whichever the
plants are the strongest we will put in
our smart pot and arlynn nursery pot in
addition to that we are going to have a
container that we're going to put some
onions in these are some onions we
started several months ago for a project
that this will work quite well on so
these are just some white Spanish onions
that we're going to plant in also we're
going to start when we put everything in
the in the grow room in the pots we're
going to start some champion radishes
and some beets and those will go
directly in the coke
core when that time comes for the rest
of these we've guessed got an ordinary
plastic cups and from our experience in
growing in starting seeds you always
want to start with the plastic cup not
the paper cup with a wax coating on it
for whatever reason it just doesn't seem
to allow the plant to germinate properly
so we're going to start with those now
we're going to put them in the coconut
core and we're going to put it in the
clay balls and and with that we are
going to be able to add our nutrients
but to start off we're just going to
have a mixture of or ordinary potting
mix I've added some vermiculite as well
as I added two large handfuls of the
coconut coir so when the plants get
started then we can remove them and put
them in the proper container now the
vermiculite you can also use perlite for
that application as well and all the
perlite and the vermiculite dude is at a
very area loose looseness to the soil so
what we've got here I'll get these out
of the way we've got and you see the
cupcake tray that seems to work very
well for us learn maneuvering or sorting
out different plants in our little cups
we're gonna do bush beans in one of the
nursery pots now we're going to start
for we're going to start five beans in
this particular cup and these are just
ordinary these are top crop bush beans
that we'll be starting and I'm gonna put
five in this container just like you
would outdoors about a half inch under
the soil there and then we'll water that
in whenever the time comes I on all of
these I've marked with masking tape and
a pin so I know what to expect to come
up these are the black creme Tomatoes
this is also one of the propagations is
a black creme tomato so with the black
creme with the tomatoes and the peppers
and the cucumbers we're gonna start them
a little different than burying the seed
under the soil now we do this particular
method when we are growing in starting
seeds for
door in the spring so I'm just gonna
drop the two on top of the soil then I'm
gonna take some vermiculite
and I'm just gonna cover the top and
that will allow the plant or allow the
seed a loose top soil it we're not
covering the seed because it when you
cover the seat it can stress the plant
out somewhat to get it to germinate and
punch through the soil so with the
vermiculite it's very loose and the seed
will come up very nice this is the great
white we've got a great white that we've
propagated or about a half a handful
based on how large your cup is and then
once we get all of these done with water
men brandywine in the same way now with
the black zucchini I'm not gonna cover
it with vermiculite these are these are
very large seed so I'm just going to
take two of them and we're going to take
the healthiest one we're just going to
bury them just like we would in a mound
outside market more cucumbers I'm going
to plant five seeds and we'll take those
strongest two or three and a handful of
vermiculite with the peppers I've got
California wonder sweet peppers now
we've decided to do the peppers in two
different formats we're going to do one
in the aquaponics farm then we're also
going to do one in a smart pot to see
which one rows better so we're going to
start I'm actually going to start for
pepper seeds the same way we've done
with the other tomatoes and cucumbers
put four on top cover it with
vermiculite and last is a cherry variety
or small red cherry we didn't have any
on these outside so we're going to start
to seeds and we'll plant the best one in
the smart pot and vermiculite on top
then we'll get our grow room here all
set up with the light hanging above now
with this t5 light this pine or six you
could set it at a vertical angle if you
don't choose to but we're going to
mount some hooks in the ceiling and then
hang it at the adequate height for these
plants and as they grow we will move it
up and we'll get that all sorted out and
arranged and show you step by step how
we're going to do that so it's real easy
getting our seed started so we can grow
