    Fantastic Hunter, I love when you ask questions concerning growing from seeds, specially from this perspective of growing seedlings in more harsh and natural conditions.

      Thank you. Yes I’m always curious pretty much every convo w a grower yields useful info that I believe must be passed on.

    If your not already, consider putting insulating foam board from the hardware store under your seedling heat mats with the foil side facing the mats. It helps them lose less energy from the bottom during cold temperatures and makes a big difference in their performance. Great interview.

    Another great video! It's fun to learn what works in my climate (MN) because there's not much info on it. Basically 3 genera to work with, and for echinocereus I've only found Mojave Inermis to survive. It was also informative on heating because my room where my germination station is at stays around 58-61 and my mat keeps the station at 75ish, but now it's warming up a bit.

    Can’t wait for the day when people start talking about plants like the herp community discusses herp care … both are living organisms … we need temps times of year for precipitation humidity levels breeding info aka flowering … etc if anyone knows of resources like this for cacti Please give me a link

    • @CactusQuest
      @CactusQuest  Před 2 lety +1

      I did buy a few just didn’t shop on camera I guess. I was tired as hell when we arrived. Drive straight from LA To Tucson and started filming lol.

      I forgot to cover that. I know he uses an extremely loamy mix. Lots of sand. I’ll make a soil video soon

    Why would you set it to 80 if it's not even possible? And yeah that's way too hot for soil. Water can't hold any oxygen at that temp.

    • @CactusQuest
      @CactusQuest  Před rokem

      never actually reached 80 the garage was freezing setting it to 80 only got it to like 70
