I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to learning growing indoors. I just ordered an indoor greenhouse with four shelves so the knowledge you offer will be priceless for me. thank you for all your help. God bless you
Hi Sylvia, welcome, so glad you're here - you'll love gardening, indoors or outside and are in a great place to learn! Thanks for gardening with us!
I grow beef stake tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets indoors under grow lights..and hot peppers and hot hot peppers..and herbs and strawberries.. and potatoes and sweet potatoes..THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU SHARE and TEACH and DO!
What kind of lights do you use?
Hello. Gardening Warrior - that's fantastic, how fun to have so much growing inside! Appreciate your kind words too!
@@susanlockinger749 I use three different types. I have a special uva/b string of 4 tape-able lights for my propogation station and I have 3 adjustable lights on sticks with 4 lights. It is hard to describe. I bought them all on Amazon. Just search for grow lights. Calikim has a video about the necessary lumens and kelvins. I also use high lumen and kelvin lights with clamp set-ups. She has a video for how to set that up as well.
Wow awesome! Inspiring!
I am growing tomatoes (sungold cherry, top hat, tiny tim), herbs, leaf lettuce, and green beans indoors under growlights for the first time and loving it.
How did the green beans do?
I am in, Kim! I have set up my indoor garden with shelves and grow lights. I have a few types of lettuce, green onions, 1 strawberry plant (but I am trying to germinate more), spinach, celery, and Tiny Tim and Patio tomatoes. Everything is young, but soon I can start harvesting. I can't wait for the fresh tomatoes! All my summer garden tomatoes are gone. I'm looking forward to making the indoor garden function all year long!
Good afternoon Cali Kim. Another impeccable video with outstanding production values. Thanks for sharing your recommendations for growing fresh tomatoes indoors in the winter. .😎😎
Great video. The sound barrier worked perfectly - no echo. I’ve got my lettuces and Tiny Tims started inside and out too.
Good to hear, Teri, thanks for the feedback! So glad your enjoying your indoor and outdoor garden!
I have a full size tomato plant and it's doing well! Not sure why you think larger is not viable? I was only searching for tips to keep the proper temperature and humidity without spending too much?
You have inspired me to grow inside. I have 6 Tiny Tim plants that sprouted along with basil, thyme and sage. I’m in zone 6 and expecting arctic temperatures this week. Can’t wait to transplant them into my CaliKim smart pots!! Thank you for all your wonderful videos!!
You are SO welcome! Thank you and keep me posted ! Kim
Nice Video ❤😊 I’ll be grabbing some soon
I have your indoor garden seed collection! Growing with you 😊 you are a wealth of information! Thank You so much for sharing with us!!! If I have a problem just have to search your videos.
Wish I could be live with you guys but I have bad internet!
Hi @Calikin29👋 I have some tiny Tim dwarf seeds ready to go👀 thanks for sharing your tips with us 😊 happy growing everyone
I have a similar grow light setup, works well
Thanks for the tip about Tiny Tim dwarf toms. I'm just ramping up my hydro gardening and this is exactly what I was looking for. :)
I just LOVE when that happens!!!!! THANK YOU, Sully. Kim
I will try this.
Good video. Learned a bit.
Hi Kim in So Cali from Miriam in Western WA! 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼 I have been chowing down on merlot lettuce that I've been growing inside, using the Kratky hydroponic method. Also have started 2 Siberian tomatoes which are now about 4" high, 2 pepper plants and a cantelope!!! It is amazing to me what can be grown indoors. I really like your setup, and I'll probably switch out my own little wire shelving unit (2' x 5') for a taller one to make room for everything I want to grow. Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving!
This was so helpful!
Great to hear, Gabrielle!!! Thank you for watching and commenting! Where are you and what are you growing right now? CK
Fresh home grown tomatoes all winter long. What could be better!
Hi Ke Le - Definitely can't beat it! Stay tuned for the progress!

Got two Beefsteaks plants growing in 3gal pots w/wire cage in a 4x4 grow tent using 1200w LED. Tent also contains: Carrots, Beets, Radish, Basil, Cabbage & Onion
Do they grow to same size as outdoor tomatoes?
What lights do you use for indoor
I am new to your channel and I already enjoy growing microgreen. Have you ever used an Olla? I have some of them, and boy do they do a wonderful job of watering. I live in a cold area but soon moving back out west. I will be growing indoors for the winder in the desert. Thanks for all of your practical information that really works with my situation.
No, but I have heard that work really well - so this is another great report! Let me know where you end up out west!! GREAT to have you following along! Thank you - Kim
I'm growing husky cherry red tomatoes indoors in a grow tent.
Sounds really cool! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Please be sure to click on the like button on the video if you have not already. This is helpful and very much appreciated - CaliKim.
Great video
Thanks for the visit!
I saw a short video on growing tomatoes from a slice of tomato n put it in regular miracle grow soil. Now I have numerous growth. I'm n urbanite in the N/East not expecting much. How do I transplant them? How high do they grow b4 I transplant them., water usage. Basically, I'm lost n Kno nothing about gardening. I'm in 7a zone but looking to grow inside all year I'm 74 yoa n thought it would b a nice hobby since I can't get around much. HELP. I have onions also but would like to have more veggies do to price and keeps me busy. Very small space.
Do you prune (remove suckers) your tiny Tim tomatoes or let them grow ?
I let them go. You don’t have to prune from determinate tomato, such as Tiny Tim. Hope this helps! Thank you for watching.
Here in Australia I use an urbipod by Urbotanica during winter to grow my herbs and lettuce, it’s really compact and sits on my kitchen bench. And this spring I’ve got a lot of my seedlings started in it as well. Peppers, tomatoes and herbs. I’m not sure if it’s available in the US. You could google it to see what it looks like.😊
Also Kim I’m wondering what you thought of the vegpod, I was watching some over your older videos when you first got yours but haven’t seen it in some of your latest vids. I’m thinking of getting one and just wondering what your option is . Cheers from Oz
Hi Angela, so great that you're growing your own veggies in your kitchen, so fun! I like the the Vegepod, worked great for me. I decided to go with a more natural look, so I gave it to a friend and built a few of my own beds out of wood. Appreciate you stopping by!

I have English Ivy and Japanese Honeysuckle and growing up the walls of my inside entryway. I'm considering planting indoor tomatoes alongside them. I'm just not sure if Tiny Tim tomatoes have vines that would grow up the walls the way ivy does.
Tiny Tim tomatoes are determinate tomato plants, which means they tend to have a more compact growth habit compared to indeterminate varieties.
They may not climb walls like ivy, but you can guide their growth upwards with the help of support structures. This can help maximize space in the garden and keep the fruits off the ground, reducing the risk of pests and diseases. Go for it!!! Be prepared to guide them up! CK
@@CaliKim29 Thank you for the reply. I'll grow tomatoes just for the fruit and not expect them to climb the walls :)
Hello and thank you for the video. I'm wondering why you don't just start growing in the 5 gallon pot? So you don't have to transfer the plant.
I've found that they germinate quicker in a smaller container. However, you know what I say...experiment! Great question, Aaron! Thank you for watching Kim
Good
Thanks
Hi Kim, Ontario Canada here. New to growing indoors, May I ask what causes seedlings to become leggy, and how to fix them. Cheers!
It's usually because of insufficient lighting. Meaning, if you don't have grow lights...get some....if you do have lighting, try lowering them closer to the plants. Basically, what they are doing is reaching for the light....keep us all posted! Kim
@@CaliKim29 Thank you, I'll give that a try. Meantime I've taken some leggy bell pepper plants and turned them upside down in a 2 liter plastic pop bottle, one day later they're reaching upwards!
Importantly, grow lights have colors which duplicate the sun's color spectrum. LEDs can be gotten which offer the same color sectrum and cost far less to operate. A friend hasvhad success wrapping christmas lights around and above plants. They're intense, not hot and onlybthe foliage needs the bright light.
Hi Edward - I've never used Christmas lights, glad they worked for your friend. However, I'd encourage folks to check the lumens and kelvin, before they purchase any grow lights, lumens should be between 1500 -3000 , Kelvin: between 4500 - 6500K. You'll see these specs on the back of the light bulb package. More info in this video: bit.ly/CaliKimEasyIndoorGrowLights.

Personally, I find it easier and safer for the plant to tap around the fabric pot and bottom. Then tip it, dropping off extra soil. Then you can easily separate the plant from the pot. These fabric pots tend to grab some of the roots at the bottom of you are a little late transplanting. That's why I found a spatula is best to use around the edges...
A spatula!!!! I love it!!! Steven, if that is working for you!!! Go with it!!!! Super creative !! Thanks for posting.
Would this work in Ontario Canada? How much does the whole setup cost? If it's costworthy, it seems to be an ideal solution for poorer families who say they find it too expensive to buy fresh fruits and vegetables i.e. "healthy food" in supermarkets. This could be a wonderful option that could assist families in healthy living. 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Nedra - yes, this set up will work anywhere, because you're growing inside where climate is controlled. Costs vary depending on your specific set up and where you purchase supplies. Check the links in the video description for more details on supplies. Definitely possible for anyone to grow veggies and save on grocery bill. Thanks for watching!

Anyone have a working link for a bulb to put in the clip light? First link not working, second link out of stock. I'm having a bit of trouble locating the correct bulb and it being in stock. Thanks.
Hi Sandi, My apologies, Amazon frequently changes their products. I've updated the links in the video description, here's a good one for the LED light bulbs for the clamp lights - amzn.to/3ExHo4W. Any light bulb you use for growing should be within the following specs: lumens: between 1500 -3000 L, Kelvin: between 4500 - 6500K. You'll see these specs on the back of the light bulb package. More info in this video: bit.ly/CaliKimEasyIndoorGrowLights. Thanks for watching!
Can someone explain how many hours should the lights be on ? (for tomatoes)
My standard is 18 on/6 off - I use this for all of my plants.
Good? Kim
@@CaliKim29 thank you, growing my first plant 🙌🏼💜
Hey alright, that's awesome!! One bit of advice I would say it resist that tempation to Overlove your plants - aka too much water we because we don't them to be thirsty!!. How have you been doing with that?
Ok, keep it up, keep us posted and be sure to subscribe here and on my Insta', if you do Insta. You may pick up some stuff along the way! GREAT job, quirky. Kim
Why are you planting some seeds in teh 6-pak and some in the 1-gallon pot? Why the different sizes?
Either size container is a good way to get them started, depending on how much space you have indoors. Once they are 3-6 inches tall, transplant them into a 5 gallon container, which is just the right size for them to grow to full size.
I want to try lettuce under my grow light

Is there a reason not to start out in the 5 gallon pot?

I wish i had a wife like you
If you watered with the container she is using it will leak out on your table.
Yes, a plastic saucer underneath would be fabulous. Thanks for pointing that out, C. Kim
And then drip on the uncovered electrical socket placed right underneath...👍
Don’t you use a fan on them? I heard that you need a fan for indoor plants!
Hi Francy - I don't usually, but you certainly can. It helps keep the air moving, which helps with mold, and helps keep the bugs away. Thanks for watching!
