Indoor Vegetable Garden Experiment

This is my attempt to grow vegetables indoor during the winter. All the seeds I am growing are heirlooms.

[Tomdiana]

@puertoricanfl15 I use plant and aquarium bulbs

[kidrebel20002000]

Are you from southwest PA?

[Tomdiana]

@kidrebel20002000 yes

[bamboo123chewer]

those bulbs need to be a lot closer to your plants but good job on everything else. the light intensity decreases very quickly with those bulbs

[Tomdiana]

@bamboo123chewer Correct, the bubs were far away which made my plants tall and thin. The bubs were the cheapest route I could go but still worked for my test and most of them made it into my garden. This winter I plan on having the bulbs closer to the plants to make them more full. Thanks for watching!

Great Job for even trying in a basement! Just a suggestion other than what everyone else said (to put your lights closer... ;) if you find the stem leggy as the plant grows, don't be afraid to repot it more than once into gradually larger containers and when you do, bury as much of the stem that you can that is leggy (skinny) It will make your plant stronger and the stem unser the soil will produce new roots. I'm fairly new...but it worked for me! Cheers

What kind of plants that can survived for indoor?

[SlurpeePerson]

you can take away the fan, it does more bad than good, you only really need them if you have a high density of plants in a room, then air circulation is important
