Indoor Container Garden 7

I have green beans all over the place now. Another week and I should be able to harvest my first pod. My Cherokee Purple tomato has sprung right up and started looking like a tomato. My Brown Berry Cherry tomato is above ground. I have 2 peppers above ground and 2 still trying to germinate.

On recommendations from Grosend88 in the comments on video 6, I've added a fan that I am going to run when the lights are on. I should probably run it all the time, but then I would have to plug and unplug it. Right now, I just use the switch on my power strip to turn everything on and off so I'll be lazy for now.

I decided to start 3 more green bean plants - 2 in 2 liter bottles, and one in a milk jug to see how little soil I can use and still get green beans. I also decided to try my 2 varieties of lettuce again now that I have a better light and see if I can get something from them.

Thanks for the comments!

Hey! I am very new at this and trying to get informed as much as I can, Just wondering why someone would need a fan? Thank you!

with peppers the soil needs to be pretty warm, about 75 or so for germination

I have a few tomato plants that are about 4 inches high right now maybe month and a half or 2 old.. and they kinda droop ( a LOT) when i water them.. do i need to get supports for em? i love the little dudes and i dont want em to die :(

since some of the seeds arent germinating in the soil,do what i do and fold the seed in a napkin thats squeezed after wetting and put that in a ziplock. check on them every day and when u see a tiny root,plant it in the soil.

not all the seeds will grow and this will show u those so u wont waste time waiting for the dead ones to sprout.

happy growing

Tin foil that's a great idea ! thanks

hints...start seeds with trays or peat capsules (covered with clear plastic like a greenhouse) - saves water, and keeps them moist. they can't dry out. plant multiple seeds in each - then transplant young plants to bigger containers. looks like your light is good. oscillating fan is good it moves Co2 - plants need it. put your light on a timer (total light should be 15-18 hours to mimic summer...

Get a timer switch. Also, are you putting in many seeds? It is better to over sow and then thin them out later.

how far do you keep the light away from the plants???

[Wizechris1]
