How long is your video how I grew the 2363

Centerburg, OH

I did see your video, Joel. I noticed you overhead watered through sprinklers, and also put your fertilizers through there at a lower dose(trickle feed). What are your thoughts on this via drip tape? Do you think there is any additional benefit to overhead? Thought about it and figured the plants were getting foliar feed as well at the same time. I like the convenience of drip tape, as I can put merit insecticide through it and know the whole plant is getting feed evenly as well, and with my luck overhead never seems to water evely for me. your thoughts?

I learned about how people at restaurants when growing micro greens which are baby lettuces start there seedlings they will put bricks or other heavy objects to make it harder for the seeding to come up. They say this causes the plants to be sturdier and have thicker stems any thoughts of trying this for pumpkins or have you already tried something like this or similiar? Also what do you think about it?
