GROWING VEGETABLES INDOORS // Tomatoes and LED Grow Light Review

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video we are setting up an indoor garden to grow vegetables out of season or to extend your growing season. I will be doing a led grow light review on Spider Farmers SF 2000 and grow tent. Growing vegetables indoors will help you increase growing space and allow you to become a little more self sufficient and less dependent on grocery stores for out of season produce.

    I started my indoor, apartment garden first week of April. I love my veggies front to back - morning to afternoon sun. All started from seeds. All my squash, zucchini, tomatoes, okra, jalapenos, lettuce, garlic, ginger, red onions, green spring onions, sweet potatoes, beets, sweet bell peppers, all all growing quickly and look beautiful. And I can eat the beet leaves and the beet bulb, which is cool. And Zucchini leaves are so beautiful & ornamental.....so my landlord doesn't know I am growing an outside garden, indoors....lol I will get a grow light, soon, as I want my veggies to be stable in one place for the duration. I will harvest seeds from my veggies, for next year. I appreciate all you teaching, guidance, and advice, as I am a novice and want to become self sufficient! So....THANK YOU for all you do in helping us grow real, un-tampered food! With all the hormones, steroids, antibiotics, nuclear/radiation & metals in the earth that damages soil.....I refuse to eat store bought. God bless you!

    Also the herbicides that have glyphosate which is known to cause cancer. That's why I am seeking organic options from the store and growing my own. Also I figured I would let people know just in case if it's of any help. But I researched led lights for a while. The one he's using is good and the mars hydro. But it was out of my price range. So I found a really good light that is comparable to the mars hydro but for only $60 instead of $260. It's a generic tsl 2000 that is 3ft long from ebay for only $60. Anyways happy gardening.

    Greetings from Louisiana !! I'm so glad you did this. I just purchased some grow lights from Amazon before I discovered your channel on KZread. I have no idea what I'm doing and I am new to gardening so this is very helpful. I'm currently growing sweet corn squash zucchini green beans lettuce carrots garlic mint Oregon Parsley basil PotatoesTomatoes okra Watermelon Jalapenos bell peppers Bunching onions and cantaloupe on my 2nd floor apartment balcony ! And just in case anyone was wondering, Yes my neighbors think I'm crazy, and the squash bugs found me way up here ! I very recently found myself going through a divorce after 21 years of marriage, and I found that gardening is cheaper than therapy, and for me ,more effective. May God continue to bless your family and your garden.

    Having homegrown tomatoes in winter is totally worth $300. I’m in. I grew a certain herb using the fluorescent-type grow lights and that worked exceptionally well. I did make my own grow tent using aluminum foil covered cardboard. A quick tip. I got better growth using air pots vs conventional bottom draining pots. Thanks for the cool video. This should be fun!

    I've grown tomatoes indoors last year and got 2kg of tomatoes from 3 plants! It was the first time growing tomatoes in general and especially indoor. So it's absolutely doable! One thing I didn't agree in the video is about not having a fan, which he said would be useful for smelly stuff to grow into the tent. The fan is absolutely necessary to create air circulation and maintaining correct level of humidity as well, or you're gonna end with condensation, mold, fungus, or plants not able to absorb nutrients due to wrong VPD (temperature and humidity are strictly linked to each in terms of how plant live and develop!)

Just germinated my first batch of tomato seeds (Kelloggs Bkfast & Cherokee Purple, and VF Romas). I can already tell that my first shoots are not getting ‘leggy’ as my seedlings did last year under other Agrolite fixtures. Planning to continue my determinate Romas going indoors under the sf2000. Awesome lights. Love the dimmer capability. Not too much heat put off, just enough to keep the plants around 78 degrees. Bomb! Josh

    I just went to the local farmer's market and have some peppers I wish to grow, but we are moving into fall so by the time they would sprout and grow to a normal plant it would be coming up on Winter, so I need some sort of artificial light. With lockdowns on the horizon, or the forced mandates, I have decided that now is the time to supplement my food by growing my own, but so many false claims on the LED lights that I don't know what to buy. One thing I do know is that if the LED light fixture does not include a cooling fan I will not touch it. LEDs get hot as you can tell by touching the heatsink base on any over 10w. Try and touch the base of a household LED 110v lightbulb after 20 mins on. Now, be sure to rub some aloe on the new burn you just received.

At one time my yard was full of plants and vegetables but in 2005 I had 3 heart attacks and lost all interest in everything. Now with being home with everyone else during the Corona Virus and with lots of encouragement from my son I am planning out my garden. Oddly as I type this your episode about your Aneurysm update is on. WOW. we are both survivors.

I use the SF2000s to grow tomatoes/hot peppers/green peppers/basil/thyme. The SF2000 lights are excellent performing led lights and absolutely grows tomatoes all year, seed to fruit in an area approx. 2 ft x 4 ft. Recently, the price has dropped significantly so you can pick up an SF2000 for approx. 269. The Maxisun is cheaper. Over the last month, the yield is about 12 - 25 tomatoes per week for these16 tomato plants.

I've always used T5 lights and when I switched to the spider farmer I was definitely amazed when I turned it on and how bright it was. I've been using it now for a couple of grows and still amazed with the quality and the outcome of my plants. I will be upgrading soon to a bigger tent and bigger light and will definitely be always using the spider farmer light.

Living in norway, our season is to short and this is tje way to go i beilve. I run 2 lights of 240w in both rooms, playing White the output to determine the henging height as they almost killed my plants when i ran them at 280w(light are dimable) lowered them to 150w and lowered the lights aswell as alot of plants where reaching for the lights. For the last weeks i lowered it to 100w as my chilli plant seems to get to much light and the leefs are curling, on the other hand it's branching out well and putting on lots of flowers and the first chillis are growing well. Thanks for your uploads, seen a few of them now and it has helped me. Will be fun to follow this and see how your lights do, i was lokking at the spider farmer but i liked the ones i got better for the buck. The lights i am happy whit having 4 uv and 4 ir 2 rows of red and 10 rows white light, dimable from 100w to 280w. Next up is cucumber, will be fun to see how they react.

    I saw your video about your watering system I'm thinking of putting a drip system in four containers. I will run from the outside faucet but will the chlorine that's in the water I have city water. Affect the growth or does it not matter. Thanks I love your videos I just been watching him for a month now and I've learned so much.

    Thinking about something like this myself for the basement. Looks like it could be about the right size for what I need. Very interested in seeing the performance, I have a small full spectrum led grow light I am using to start seedlings but isn't stong enough for growing to production stage. Since we have cold winters here in the midwest it would be great to have fresh produce in the winter as well.

    I have 2x spider farmer 1000 inside a 2 chamber grow tent. One for germination at half power and 6in above the top of the seed tray. one for first transplant out of the little trays into 4inch pots at 18in. I've noticed that for the seedlings the light works well. I bring seedlings outside for a bit of full sun. I haven't had any leaf burn issues. The 4in pots with 2-6in plants stay out all day and come in at night. ( pest protection) all day sun and zero issues with wilt or color change.

    Just want to make a helpful note. I tried an experiment a few years back and had beautiful tomato plants but no fruit. After a lot of research I had almost given up but found humidity can affect pollinization. If the humidity is too high the grains of pollen will not self pollinate. Now I used a HID which generates a lot of heat and that might make a difference.

    Yes this is definitely something I’m interested in doing. I can’t wait to see how it works out. I am a food preserver person so I would like to grow sand Marzano‘s for my own sauce. Right now I have them growing outside in my garden which is in the very point of the state of South Carolina. Thus far they are not doing the best. Because those San Marzano‘s are not hybrids in any way shape or form. I have a round 14 plants. So in the end we’ll see how many pounds of San Marzano’s I get off of each plant. I came here looking for somebody doing this because I would like to grow eight of them indoors pretty much continuously. Excited to see how this all works out since you are actually growing San Marino tomatoes.

    I'll be watching, too. I have a small Harbor Freight greenhouse, heated and has both LED and Fluorescents. Raised beds, and auto watered just short of right amount, so I can hand water what's needed on hot days. Already experienced too wet 1st attempt. I tried several of the old traditional tomatoes, but they couldn't stand up to the pests, so I've settled on the two that do survive best here. Better Boy for the long run, and Celebrity for the short haul and cool season. I'm also trying the Mortgage Lifter for 1st time, am amazed at its growth. It exudes energy just looking at it, and it has several marble size mators among the blooms. I have high hopes for it. I watched your live show Sunday, and saw we were both wearing a flannel shirt for the cool SoCal weather that day. #;o)

I used small grow light 18 hr. light and heat mat on seedlings and now in 6 in pots light from harbor freight 2 foot distance 12 hr. on and doing great. I also just ordered a VIVOSUN S336 3x3 Grow Tent, 36"x36"x72" I would love to use your tomato hooks. Hint Hint Bill Brigham

    Hey Brian! Have you found a good website that will give us a solid number on how many u/mols or the DLI of tomato seedlings or any seedling needs right after germination, being moved into the light as part of the Veg stage? Ultimately, I know it is about the specific DLI requirements of each plant, and the DLI can be achieved by manipulating the u/mols level applied over any given a period of time.I have found information on the Flowering stage, being roughly 25-40 u/mols over 12 hours, but the Veg stage I seem to have more trouble finding.
