@GardenNewbie The lights aren't touching the plants. If they do touch, I move them up, but still keep them as close as possible. Since they are fluorescent, they can be very close and not burn the leaves.

Im guessing your lights touching like that wont matter in a month or so, as some plants get taller and some are shorter, chances are you'll have one light higher and on at a lower setting, in which case your lights look like they wouldnt be touching on the ends anymore... Maybe im wrong, hard to tell just by looking in the vid, but its something to consider...

@Helioforge I will be giving some to my cats this week, hopefully they like it!

Oh, I have to start the cat-grass before it snows again!

Jake this video series has convinced me to add a couple full spectrums to my grow station. Those plants look incredible! Also, My plants have grown right up and over the lights before and it does'nt hurt a thing.

what type and watt bulbs are you using?

@usc5299 The ones that are currently in use are 40 watt, full spectrum "grow" lights. Once I start seeding for the spring I will also be using 40 watt cool, and warm bulbs.

Those tomatoes look great. I'd get a couple of larger containers and repot them, and see if you could get them to produce.

@mhpgardener Thanks Bobby. They have only been in those post for some 2-3 weeks, I would think that would be a bit too soon to transplant them again, no?
In any case, when I need to/do transplant them again I am not going to keep all 5, I don't have the room. But I will probably keep the best 2, and the cucumber and see what happens.
