Good kim I'm going to eat a chicken salad with a big cup with tea
How much electricity does the grow lights use? Are they economical to run so many hours a day? Your plants look delicious.
My favorite thing to eat is salad – lots of various greens! So healthy, so delicious!
Kim sounds awesome I well definitely be growing Indoors
Great tips! Wonderful Greens!!!
Love your videos and just planted seeds from your Indoor Garden pack yesterday. A question I have is how to thin out the lettuce when it sprouts since it was rather heavily sown. It looks like you maybe have 4 plants in each 1 gallon container. Is that accurate?
I'm going to try this
Good idea but bit expensive, isn't it??!?
Still planting outside and have polyurethane covers over the beds. But I have my grow light planting station set up in our garage which also has windows. I would go into serious withdrawals without being able to grow through the winter. Thank you for all the info! And again thank you for a great amazing sale. Placing another order! Lol
Hi Kim! I am always inspired to get more seeds started when watch you plant them. Since I can grow lettuce all winter outdoors, that’s where I will get more planted.
I bought the clip lights on your recommendation. Had to hunt around a bit to find some bulbs in stock. Used thick wooden stakes in the jugs with sand because I already had them. So far my tomatoes are happy.
What is the temperature inside your home? Thanks.
Well it's taken all year to finally getting the hang of the hydroponics. Now my master bathroom is an official grow room. I love your shelf set up as well
How u prevent leafminers on ur lettuce
But if lettuce has small roots how will they get water from the bottom
Great video!
I thought lettuce grows in cold weather ?
Hi Kim- I don't know if you will see this but my wife was an avid fan of
yours and a great gardener. I do not have a green thumb. Since she
passed I have wanted to take up doing an indoor garden with grow lights
and aside from herbs I wanted to create my favorite salad base of
romaine, spinach, kale, and cabbage. I have cancer and can't really do
outdoor gardening at the present time. I watched your series on the
indoor salad station and have purchased your recommended rack, grow
lights, timer strip, plus the 1 gallon smart pots. My question (finally), can I
grow those other greens I mentioned in the 1 gallon pots? I saw the
romaine, endive, and the other lettuces you were growing but no mention
of kale, spinach, or cabbage? Also, the tiny tim tomato plant you were
growing in the video looked like a larger smart pot, what size do I need?
Finally, I assume all of these smart pots drip water and I saw you had
some in drip trays and how you watered them in those, but many on your
rack had no drip trays??? Sorry for the lengthy message but like I said I
am a novice at this but I am excited to get started. Thanks you for all you do.
