    Anyone making videos, should explain things like you! You didn’t assume your viewer knew what you were talking about. You broke it down in a simple and understandable and informative way! Thanks for making this!

    Leggy tomatoes are awesome, Luke, and you can transplant plant deep and create stronger roots. I intentionally do it because I love thick tomatoes. Adventitious roots, peppers have them too. Please review that with viewers πŸ™. Most in the nightshade family can do this.
  • I sooo needed this... Thank you-Thank you!! I have had these very issues!! This year, I hope to be ready for spring πŸ™
  • There needs to be a set, clearly marked standard on LED lights. I just purchased new LEDs and came to the conclusion to get one the stated the most blue light over red. Choose the whitest light with approximately 4-6K. Blue light is for vegetation and red for flowering. Thanks for mentioning color as it makes choosing easier. It can get complicated and I chose to look at the color spectrum. Many manufacturers won’t state color and Kelvins which makes choosing very difficult.
