Hi Everyone,
I bought a Jiffy Greenhouse at Home Depot the other day
How Does Your Garden Grow? : Jiffy Professional Greenhouse Kit - Jiffy Professional Greenhouse Kit - Epinions.com
and my plan is to load it up with as many seeds as I can (72 or so) as I think all of my seeds are too old, but for $12.00 what can you loose (the answer is $12.00).
Background
Anyway I plan to grow with compact fluorescents in my shed that I have now heated and have a small plant started in my aerogarden. I ended up ihaving three seeds start in the aerogarden, but two died (while I was away for the holiday) and the third is just starting and going seven seeds at a time was getting to be a pain anfter a few failures. I have also tried a few seeds with the paper towel method and some others in the cup of water with nothing to show for it which led me to buy the greenhouse. I have grown in my shed before, but not in the winter previously.
Enough of the background; the specific questions with a greenhouse.
I read the instructions and they are vague. It states "keep in a warm location away from direct sunlight." There is no mention of starting them in the dark. Should I start them off in the dark or on a 16/8 light schedule?
How often do you think I will need to add water in the first week or so?
I am about to start and I am also a bit confused about placing the seeds in and whether to cover them up completely or what to do there so any input would as always be appreciated
and as always thanks
