Ich habe diese Zeltsituation zu Weihnachten bekommen und werde diesen Frühling zum ersten Mal mit der Aussaat für ein Gemüsebeet beginnen. Ich bin auf der Suche nach Tipps oder Feedback zu meiner Lichteinrichtung. Das Gerät wurde mit einer Beleuchtung für jedes Regal geliefert, aber ich habe gelesen, dass es normalerweise nicht genug Licht gibt? Daher werde ich vorerst nur die beiden oberen Regale verwenden und die Beleuchtung verdoppelt haben. Die Leuchten wurden auch mit aufschiebbaren Reflektoren geliefert, diese waren jedoch nicht in der Anleitung enthalten. Sind diese notwendig?
Die Saatwärmematten, die ich bekommen habe, sollten nicht in Kombination mit Wachstumslampen verwendet werden. Stimmt das?

The lights wouldn’t be my main worry. Well actually it could be. Depending on what seeds you put in they will hit the lights fairly quick. Which you can raise it seems like though.
In my experience they outgrow the little seed pod things so fast just in the soil alone. After like a week there is roots coming out the bottom. Then also trying to harden the seedlings I have to throw a fan on it which then makes a mess. And at a certain point I’m like maybe I just put the tray outside when it’s nice and bring it in at night or for cold snaps.
Basically lack of wind plus lack of real sun then small soil container can be a recipe for very leggy plants that will collapse once outside in the elements. However it can work it just is more work than I care to do I guess. And I could be wrong I’m sure plenty of people here have used them to great success.
What I do is keep those larger but small containers that are left over when you buy pre grown veggies from a store. I use that as a starter instead and just bring it outside on nice days and bring it in when it’s too cold.
Looks like a good rig. Nice. Let ‘er rip. The doubled-up lights might be enough for low-key production. I have a similar set-up under which I grow entire trays of greens like arugula and trout lettuce during the winter.
I think the advice with the mats/lights is best interpreted as turn off the mats once seeds germinated. Also, some crops germinate better when it’s a little cooler. 70º F is a good target generally. if you can add a little fan in there it’ll help harden things off.
The hardest part is not starting TOO early….
