Why didn't I discover this sooner?

Why didn't I discover this sooner? I think my only question is "red and blue light makes dwarf," but other than that this seems like a nice all in one DIY germination station for most stuff. Obvs it's not going to work for anything with a massive tap root, but it looks like it's at least enough to get stuff into community pots or small planters without the tangled mess of baggie germinated roots.

Nice package. I have been wanting to share pictures of my setup for a while, and this seems like the right opportunity. Aside from the lights, the germination boxes were very cheap to make.

This is my setup that I use for both germination and for sustaining young plants through the winter. These full spectrum LED grow lights are awesome! The camera picks up the colors of the LEDs, but in reality, both lights are so bright you cannot look at them directly.

No matter what you’re setup is, good viable seeds is the key!

Absolutely! Awesome setup by the way!

That’s a pretty good deal . It would work for most Chamaedorea or smaller palms . As soon as they get going , they would need to be bumped up though. Harry

I love all of the upcycling and reusing old containers. I lol'd at the Cool Whip container because growing up in the south you never know what's in those, but you know it ain't Cool Whip. I found one in my late Granny's garden supplies - is it fertilizer? Is it weed killer? Nobody knows.

Yes , I save all my nursery containers . The ones I don’t use ( the larger ones ) , I give to @DoomsDave when I go down there. Also nurseries will take them back to reuse. Harry

Fast food cups, old nursery pots, plastic soda bottles - if I can poke holes in it and it'll hold dirt I'll use it. I'd still like to try growing a cactus or a succulent in a beer can, but I'm sure there's a reason nobody's done that. Gardening has made me a lot more environmentally conscious for sure.

Here’s a recent update on latest mad scientist biology laboratories @happypalms with another 4 orders pending of 1500 seeds on order of all sorts of varieties, iam fast running out off room. Due to no potting up of seedlingsin winter! There would have to be at least 60 different varieties of palm seeds germinating in what you see in the lab there, ranging from batches of 200 seeds right down to just one seed of a known special variety. Will someone send around the straight jacket before this scientist flys over the cuckoo’s nest!

No way, man. You keep doing what you're doing. We believe in you. Maybe I can request asylum down there if you can find me and Sancho a nurse that looks like Sabrina Carpenter.

Ehh. I think the most important thing is she has to have terrible taste in men, because I'm a disaster.
