Outdoors, basil prefers 6-8 hours of daily sunlight – exposure to anything outside this sweet spot causes the leaf edges and tips to curl and droop or scorch. With indoor-grown basil, you’ll spot similar symptoms, accompanied by smaller leaves and leggy stems. Solution Observe thesun patte...
I get excited. Which is why I am always sad when the day comes that I have to thin my seedlings. I know I have to do it, but each time, it is hard–like I am being forced to choose a favorite child. Do you feel this way?
When the plant has at least 3 to 4 true leaves, you can thin out our carrot plants by simply plucking unwanted seedlings from the soil. Thin so that your carrot plants areat least 2 inches apart, and for larger varieties, you can thin seedlings so that they are up to 4 inches apart...
Thin carrots in two stages: (1) when seedlings are about 2 inches tall and true leaves have appeared, thin plants to stand 2 inches apart in rows; snip off weak plants at the crown; do not disturb the roots of plants that remain; (2) at midseason, thin again; pull up some baby ...
Water every day until the seedlings germinate. Thin to 40m (16") apart as plants grow larger. The seeds can also be sown in modules, with young plants then transplanted to their final location. You can also grow chard in pots or containers. Simply, follow our guidance above, filling the...
Once the seedlings have germinated, thin them to 3–4 inches (8–10 cm) apart in the stand.To ensure uniform crop growth and the highest possible harvest, variable rate planting is the way to go. Segmenting the field and adjusting seeding rates accordingly is made simple with productivity ...
About a week before you wish to transplant your cucuzza squash seedlings, harden them off to acclimate them to outdoor growing conditions. Snake gourds don’t like root disturbance so carefully slip the plant from its pot. Place it in the planting hole and gently refill with the excavated soi...
Harvest the beet greens at almost any time, beginning when thinning seedlings. Take one or two mature leaves per plant, until leaf blades are more than 6 inches tall and become tough. (Roots will not fully form without greens, so leaving some is necessary for proper development.) The leaves...
When your seeds have germinated, remove the cover and let them grow for a few days, but don't allow the compost to dry out. Transplant seedlings when they reach about 2-3cm tall into modules or 5cm pots filled with moist multi-purpose compost, planting deeply to encourage better rooting....
“Ocean Forest” soil works well by itself for the whole grow, but it may be a bit too strong for young seedlings and cause some light nutrient burn to young plants until they get a little bigger. After they’ve grown bigger, the plants will no longer experience nutrient burn from Ocean...
