March 28th Class: Indoor Seed Starting Using Artificial Lighting

(Updated: March 14, 2024, 10:48 a.m.)

As LED lights become less expensive and more commonly available, shopping for lights for starting seeds indoors can become quite confusing.  Come to our class to be held on March 28th at 6:00-7:30 at the Watauga Agriculture Conference Center.  We will help you unravel the mystery of purchasing lights for your seed starting needs.  We will discuss the light requirements of seedlings, along with the correct spectrum of light, as well as how to understand the intensity of light you are purchasing.  Brian Bonville has lent his expertise that he gained while working with NC State University and several biotech companies, to help us create a grow room for Extension Master Gardeners.  The room is being used to grow plants for community projects.  We will see this set up in use, as well as discuss several other options.  Brian will assist with teaching this class.  Register on eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.com/e/indoor-seed-starting-workshop-tickets-849809311527 or by calling 828-264-3061
