Indoor Container Garden 4

This is video 4 of my experiment growing vegetables indoors. This is after 3 full weeks of growth. The green beans and white onions seem to be doing well. The lettuce and green onions are alive, but maybe not so good. I started a new white onion bulb, 2 green onions, a Rooster Spur pepper plant, and a Cherokee Purple tomato plant. To help save money, I have resorted to using 2 liter soda bottles and milk jugs when the plants can use that size pot. I also got a smaller full spectrum light bulb (27 watt cfl, 100 watt incandescent equivalent) and a hangable lamp. It is not the final solution, but an interim step until I can order a 105 watt, 6500k bulb. See more at www.weirddivide.com

Thanks for the great Ideas, I can’t wait to try them.
vegetables, not ughh… drugs… lol
everyone says more light.. very true.. but SOIL is also key.. i use foz farm soil works wonders.. litteraly a miracle.. miracle grow sucks
more light and lettuce and onions prefer cooler temps. between 55 and 70 degrees. Try that. Good luck
You need alot more light, but it’s always fun to grow… GL in the future.
On sunny days I’ll open it all day. This window is mostly south facing and I get good sun from about 9 am – 2 pm. So usually when I get home at 6pm I’ll turn on the artificial lite until about 11 pm.
Yeah, I was going to try the q-tip method. It seemed easiest.
Don’t forget to cross pollinate the flowering veggies [tomatoes] with a Q-tip or a feather…
You may want to open your blind [don't know if you do during the day... so far I've just relied on the sun. I may have to get a sun lamp if I get more than just herbs growing.... [ i have a heated sunroom that has south+ west exposure]….
