What are you growing indoors? Thanks for watching!
How come you don't use LED lights? What is the difference between all the different kinds of light bulbs?
What happened with the tomatoes and cucumbers that you grew indoors. I didn't see a video where you were able to get a harvest. I'm worried about the plants flowering. I can't grow outside and really need to do it inside. You did hydroponics, but I need to know if the plants will produce fruit.
Don't know why the keyboard said "you did" it was suppose to say "I'll do hydroponics"
Thanks for your help
What is organic fertilizer?
Just place your seeds in damp paper towels and place in sandwich baggie. Three to five days later healthy seeds germinate.
please show me the harvest, guess not
Is it possible to grow them without using grow lights? Could I sit them next to a window sill instead?
That lamp, even at that distance, produces less light than a south-facing windowsill. Even with high-powered HID/LED grow lights, tomatoes are difficult to grow indoors, because of how much light energy they require.
Where is the harvest part? Did those light bulbs actually produce any cucumbers?
Bottle of sand and pipe= Brilliant!! Thanks
Why not use paper cups? Cucumbers do not like their roots to be disturbed.
I love this woman. Free knowledge is best. Soak it up while you can.
This a not so much growing the plants to see the growth but more so a basic transplant that had been seen a kajillion times by now. 7 minutes wasted.
4 years after this was posted and it is EXACTLY what I need! I jumped right over from MIgardener's 4yr old video when he mentioned you're growing full sized tomatoes inside like I am now.
How about fingerling potatoes indoors?
I just got tomatoes to grow, what w are your bulbs
Thank you! Like you mentioned, not having even the soil outside to prevent bugs would be great.
I imagine it would work for fall vegetables too like cabbage which constantly gets holes in the leaves when grown outside despite using slug bait, etc.
i dont know if you still check comments for this video but i came across it this past fall – it inspired me to give it a go.. so around oct i started some tomatoe seeds and cuke seeds… well it was a lot of fun… it had its challenges and i learned alot along the way. i ended up with around 9-10 small cukes and a dozen or so small tomatoes. the past few days i have been ending my current grow as the plants are starting to die off. but i am calling it a success. and for sure am gonna try again in the future… thanks for a great video
I want to turn my living room into an indoor garden!
Hey! I know this is an old video but I’ve been a long time watcher and listener and I have a question for you. Trying to find YouTube videos on cape gooseberries (also known as ground cherry or golden berry) is NOT easy to find and it’s not a popular fruit/veggie. But I’ve done some research on it and I’m so excited to try growing it this year in 2022. Have you ever tried growing it before or know much about it?
Thank you for taking the time to read my comment if you made it this far!
What do you do with the dirt when you replace with new dirt for the year.
How long do you leave the lights on daily?
Do you have to manually pollinate the flowers to get any harvest?
What brand/type of light and bulb did you use?
I cant hardly throw a seed away much less bring it to a seedling then throw it away lol
I live in Canada so hoping to see how my indoor growing goes. Maybe I need grow light to support , will try it out
How do professional indoor growers do it? I want lots of tomatoes
What is the pot size for the indoor Cucumber transplant indoors-please?
Yes, the plan is to grow some food inside. I loved this video #blessings
