    Nice. I'm growing vegetables indoor too.
    Im all in on LEDs. Yes the upfront costs are higher. But they are cheeper to run and have fewer parts that could break. And it's a Hobby, after all. Indoor Gardening is for the joy of good vegetables and doing something yourself. Not to save money.

It's very inspirational. I'm a container grower primarily anyway and I'd love to learn more about your equipment, costs, electrical needs, and irrigation.

      @Jesse Porter Yes and thanks for watching! The container size for all the vegetables I am growing here is a 5 gallon size pot. A 3 gallon pot may be a bit small for tomato roots. This is why I am using 5 gallon fabric pots. I have had two full harvests this winter and the fabric 5 gallon pots were perfect. If you want to see which brand I used, I explain this in my other video which I will post a link to in this thread for you. Happy growing and let me know if you have any more questions.

      @Jesse Porter I plant all the seeds directly into the 5 gallon pots. No need to start in trays. Treat this just like a regular garden plot and place the seeds directly into the pots spaced out. My mistake with the spinach was the seeds were not buried deep enough and they slid to one side after first watering. However they still grew nicely. Just spread the seeds apart and you will be fine!

    I just ordered square ones off amazon... i am hoping to fit them all together, and have all the pots touching, so that microbes and nutrients can move from pot to pot... basically the idea is to use it as 1 solid no-till garden that is sectioned off.

    wow that setup is insane! i would love something like that
    that's honestly inspiring.. It's just so pricey though so it's hard for me to commit
    I can't get a veg garden in my yard because I don't get enough light to make it worthwhile & the space I have is so limited.. but I could easily get something like this in my garage & the thought of all the greens I could get is awesome
    I can't believe how much space he has! I'd be putting way more stuff in there of everything
    You could even get vines in there like cucumber and tomatoes, thats so amazing to me lol
    one thing I can't find people doing is potatoes, I assume they would grow fine in a tent right? but I do think they like the soil a certain temperature too, so I don't know, maybe a heating pad would be needed of some sort
    i think if I could grow potatoes, cucumbers, broccoli and spinach all year round, i'd be in a good position
    in a tent as big as this guys, you could even grow wheat & dry/store the grains/seeds etc.

    This video is super helpful. Really, the information provided here is a new bar!
    I already bought a small, high-end grow tent, along with high-quality LEDs. My tent is only 5' X 2'. I just want to grow a couple of pepper plants and herbs. The only thing I'm trying to figure out is this:
    My basement is just gross, so I don't feel comfortable growing food plants down there. I have a home office and could easily fit the tent inside that room. However, most of these grow tent vids are about growing weed, and they are always touting the need for a lung room. I'm not interested in growing such things, I'd just like to know if there are any health concerns for me to be aware of in terms of spending 10 hrs per day in my home office with my veggies/herbs and I sharing the same air. With my inline exhaust fans sucking the tent air and venting that air into my living space, is that air going to likely stink or make me ill?
    What about the health of my plants, is it okay for them to "breathe" the air that I'm expelling into the same room?

      @@PureBlood42 Thanks for your support! If you are venting out in a common area in your home, then you may get a slight soil odour from the tent venting. You can just test it out. If you do notice a slight odour, then try to position your tent close to a window and vent it outside as best you can. It is not a big issue for a smaller tent, but watch also for humidity levels in your home during winter months. I have no issues with humidity in my home with a larger tent. Please check out my latest video where I recap basics about venting and lighting. Note that I switched to LED’s a while back too. Cheers 🌱

    Hello there...
    I am gathering couple other things before I begin planting. What about fertilizer? I got fish emulsion, worm castings and some other plant "food" granuals. Also did you start the plant like in a tray then transfered them to the bigger pots?
    Would you consider showing how you set up your tomatoes pots and trellis?

Fish emulsion works well too, however worm castings are far cheaper where I live. I started everything from seed directly in the fabric pots, no need to use trays. Treat it just like an outdoor garden. Tomatoes were all from seed as well and I use modular trellis that I purchased and the link is here:

      For MH and HPS bulbs you don’t really need to lower them too much in a reflective tent as it is kind of like “the sun”. For LED lighting I lowered mine to about 1.5 feet above until the seeds germinated. Then I moved them up as far as they could go. LED’s are a little bit less intense and concentrate on a smaller area compared to MH and HPS bulbs. I hope this helps🌱

    woah nice big tent, im thinking of doing similar on a smaller scale though. im interested how your citrus do under the hps compared to the MH cause hps tends to make plants stretch more and maybe not bush out with side shoots as much. you have a lot of space in that tent you could easily fit some eggplant, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, cucumbers, spring onions, courgettes, pretty much anyyyyyyyyyyything you like eating and it would be cool to try a bunch of things and see how they do.
    2 things:
    your ballast placement is risky, they should be away from combustible materials, sat on a concrete block or something.
    your store bought soil has fungus gnats and probably other pests. i really recommend coco coir bricks and re-hydrate them, they are pest free, plants grow very well in it with a little added perlite and using the correct npk value liquid fertilizer for the plants that you grow.

      How is our water treated?
      The new plant treats raw (untreated) water using the following process:
      coarse screening
      fine screening
      chemical mixing (if required)
      flocculation
      ultra membrane filtration
      ultraviolet irradiation (secondary membranes only)
