Backyard Style - Outdoor, Backyard Pond and BirdingFriday, December 28, 2007 Jiffy Heated Greenhouse for Seed Germination- CLICK HERE!![]() The Jiffy Indoor Greenhouse is a covered greenhouse kept at the ideal temperature for seed germination and growth! Just add seeds and water to the tray of 72 Jiffy pellets, plug it in, and watch the growth begin! A heating pad and protective dome keep this greenhouse at the ideal temperature for seed germination and seedling growth. However high-tech the equipment might be, seeds still need the basic ingredients for successful germination- moisture, oxygen and warmth. The closer these three factors are to the optimum for the seed type being germinated, the better the result. Many germination failures are caused by one of these factors being neglected. Fortunately, with hydroponic production, seeds are not left to take their chances out in the soil where the elements may play havoc with the germination process. With protected cultivation we can control moisture, temperature and oxygen levels with a number of means. We also can limit the chance of pest and pathogen attack on the vulnerable young seedlings. For this reason, a small amount spent in some propagation equipment is one of the best investments a hydroponic grower can make to ensure success and healthy seedlings. Creating the optimum environment for seed germination relies on some simple principles. In the past, clever gardeners have utilized warm window sills, indoor heaters, and outdoor hot boxes and other proven places to germinate early seedlings. These days, hydroponic growers want to grow year-round. Many are based in climates with freezing winters and hot summers and want to propagate from seed on a regular basis. Others grow entirely indoors and need to consider light for seedlings. -------------- Labels: Indoor Gardening |
