I Watered Seedlings with 5 Different Liquids… Only ONE Worked!

Ever wondered why your seedlings thrive under one watering method and die under another? In this video, I test five common watering options for seedlings—including pH-balanced fertilizer water, tap water, organic fertilizers, and reverse osmosis (RO) water—and show you the surprising science behind the results.

Turns out, it’s not just what you feed your plants, but how and in what conditions. We talk pH, anaerobic roots, nutrient lockout, and the secret reason your organic fertilizer might backfire during bottom watering.

I’m using basil seedlings for this 3-week experiment, and I’m walking you through every step—with studies, science, and no fluff. Get ready to rethink how you water your seedlings.

👩🏻‍🦰 A B O U T M E:
Ashley has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.
