Indoor Veggie Growers??? Unite!! - General Gardening - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Haha, well why not?

I've searched around a bit and couldn't find any threads, other than specific plant questions.

Anyone else grow veggies indoors in addition to our lovely herb? I grow poppies, radishes, tomatoes, herbs(basil, cilantro, parsley), romaine and buttercrisp lettuce, and broccoli. I have two 2' 2 lamp T5's and one 2' T8 for my veggies. They all are doing very well and I've already harvested some delicious french breakfast radishes! I should have some very nice Roma and Paste tomatoes coming up here in a few weeks.

C'mon, I know I've seen some various veggies in the background of a few grow logs!

Also, does anyone have any tips for groing veggies indoors in soil? I've just switched from FFOF to ProMix/MG Organic Choice and I'm wondering if anyone else has grown veggies indoors in ProMix? I'll be using FF nutes and some organic nutes produced locally. I have a few 3000k bloom bulbs laying around, though I haven't used them yet for veggies yet. They worked great for poppies(anyone who says they can't be grown indoors in soil has no idea what they're talking about).

So lets hear it, what are y'all growing?

Unfortunatly my g/f(roomate) is uncomfortable with growing anything illegal, so after many arguements, I've decided to grow out some legal plants. The idea of indoor growing has always fascinated me, and aslong as I can partake in the hobby I can deal without my mj. I have yet to start the veggies, but am in the process of getting everything together. I gutted a dresser and have a cooltube 100w HPS in there.. standard cab, nothin fancy. I'll try to get some pictures soon, im proud of it ha. I will let you know how things go once they get started. Would love to see what you've got working if you have any photo's to share.

Cool! I would love to share some pics but I don't have a digital camera atm. My next paycheck is going towards other things but the one after that will be strictly for a new camera so I'll be able to share!

I am also very interested in growing things indoors, I love the ability to control the enviroment. There is a general lack of info(at least that I could find), online about growing veggies indoors so maybe we could have good discussion here? I am by no means an expert but I have been growing veggies for a while so I'd be happy to offer anything I can.

I've always been interested in growing strawberries inside, anyone care to offer any advice? How far along are your strawberries josey whales? How are average yields indoors? They have some beautiful strawberry starts at my local grow shop and I was thinking of buying 8 or so of them and seeing how I could do. I'm still researching how to properly fruit them and their light requirements so when I get that all figured out I will give them a try.

So far I have found the easiest plants to grow indoors to be lettuces, tomatoes, and radishes. Radishes are the absolute easiest IMO because they require very little space and finish very quickly. I've even been selling a good portion of my radishes to a few local establishments!

Last batch of strawberry seedlings i bought gave my entire grow little flies of some sort that took me 4 months to get rid of LOL

Be carefull on bringing wild plants inside.

Peace

careful with that mircale grow organic. i got a horrid case of fungus gnats from their soil. and im not the only one. just a heads up for you guys.

hoosierdaddy · 04-14-2008, 04:02 PM

LOL....yeah 1Toke, my old lady is uncomfortable with my growing too. But, like I told her, she can either have a happy old SOB for a hubby, or a nasty, unhappy old SOB for a hubby. Her pick.

She has chosen well!

Besides, with my help she has one hell of a vegetable garden out back.

I am/have grown - Strawberries and tomatoes (which both thrive!), Mint, Parsley and varies types of Lettuce (Which all bolted early and didn't produce any good lettuce as my room is too warm for them) ... All these along side my special herb either under a 400W MH on 18/6 or 20/4. Or uner a 600W HPS on 12/12 depending on if im vegging or flowering my special ladies.

If you look at the bottom right of this pic u can see three young Tomato plants and to the left of them there is a lil blue pot, that pot has a young Parsley in it haha, down in the shade of the ladies :P
