This time last year, a special friend and I, decided to extend the growing season by purchasing indoor gardening equipment. I bought my first ever grow light. He went even more elaborate, and bought shelving to hold his plants.
We both ended up with long, leggy plants that we had no idea what to do with, long before it was time to put them in the garden.
It was fun though, and made the winter pass a lot faster.
I added pictures of my grow lights on my guests book.
I will look for them now.
I use grow lights on shelves, I’ve found adjusting height of lights that helps with minimizing the leggy issue. I will try to find some pictures.
Great!!
Ours did great while they were small, but when they outgrew the space for the lights is when they got out of hand. Jim was the one who shared the project, Maybe you saw us talking about them. He is not going to try it this year. He really doesn’t have the time with all his church obligations.
Yes, there’s a lot of time involved, lots of rearranging. When mine get bigger, I move then to the ping pong table(😁) they go under other lights I have. Shorter growing season here so I look for ways to cheat some.😁🌱
I can see that being important. I could actually wait and seed most things, even tomatoes, directly in the ground, but it would mean having really late ripe ones. I have lots of volunteer plants come up and they always ripen before frost.
