    @Gail-Steman
    Right, the first intro video was pretty terrible. editing in that funny bit was just silly.. etc.. I should probably like redo it.
    but don't expect too much, they will be short video updates that had 1 take and was quickly edited to cut out any rambling.
    on the plus side, ill be doing experiments, like giving one set of seedling double the feed, things of that nature and post the results. I'll try to keep it interesting!

    What I saw was confidence in your speaking on the video and I know the more you do them you'll speak with out hesitation...I wasn't being nasty or nothing because I've watched some video's by different people as some do them but you can see they wasn't improving and some it comes naturally like your chatting to someone actually there if you know what I mean :)

    when your recording, one over thinks what one says, starting a sentence and then reworking the wording on the fly, and then it comes out all messed up. you have to pretend you're just chatting with a friend, and forget about wording things perfectly. that or write a full script, but I'm just not prepared to put int that level of effort. one weird thing to get over is making eye contact with the camera, its just so unnatural to look a camera in the eye and speak, lol!

    the next video will show off the full grow-setup I've come up with, lights + humidifier + fan + seedling cups + starting mix, It might be a while until I get all that organized, and I only need to start seedlings end of Feb.

    Well practice makes perfect :like:
    Once you have you set up done the flow will come easier to you...do you have cam recorder on your laptop etc...as that may help you being on your own where you can delete them after :)

    Careful..the moisture content of the soil is critical on those meters.
