Hi everyone,
I thought i start a thread where we can post about our veggies and fruits we grow indoors. I have a 4x4 tent and a 460w led light. I am a hobby grower when it comes to cannabis so i don’t need to fill the tent everytime. Sometimes i go 1-2 plants sometimes 4 in smaller pots and so on. This leaves me with a lot of space i can utilize.
To take advantage of these spaces i’m throwing in some peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, some herbs, some greens etc.
Tomatoes went outside a little early because i needed the space. I still managed to get about 10 small-medium sized tomatoes. Looks promising for the winter.
I ate about 25 off of this plant and now its producing same crunchy peppers outside. It was only in a 2 gallon pot.
Now at the moment the tent is down for the drying of my harvest. So all the others either have been transplanted into my garden or they have been put under floros until the tent is up and running again.
Tho i still have couple of plants that i’m gonna throw in after i hook up these fans onto my lights.
Some might recognise what these are and some might not. There are 2 strawberries which are already producing strawberries. This is an heirloom strawberry cultivar with small sized fruits. Better for jams etc. But i like just eating them straight up.
There are 3 melon transplants. Now transplanting melon is not a good practice. They don’t like to be moved or disturbed but indoors i had to. Its actually a very hard fruit to produce indoors. A very high demanding plant. It wants a generous bit of soil, an open area to stretch as it likes, lots of sunlight and lots of water. Of course fertilization. Plus pollination by hand. I just want to give it a try.
Once i got my tent up and running, i’m gonna reverse some gals to get pollen. They will not be in big pots. So the project will cover a minimal area in the tent. Rest, i’m gonna fill it up with these plants and give it a go. Maybe if it looks promising in the end, homegrown organic melons in the winter doesn’t sound too bad to me.
So all in all, you may have an idea about growing other stuff alongside your canna and you may not be sure how well it’ll work. Well, i’m (and the other participants of this thread) gonna try it beforehand so anyone can get an idea how easy to grow stuff around the corners of a tent or under the canopy. You can fill up the space and maybe do spices and herbs that can keep pests away, at least as a first line of defence, deter them.
For example i got oregano, thyme, basil, some kind of mint that deters mosquitoes, sage and other herbs. They are a good addition to your homecooked meals, they are full of organic goodness, they deter pests and they don’t need much light. Most of these herbs and spices can be placed under the canopy and the results may suprise you. They don’t need much direct light.
Well anyway here it goes and feel free to post your indoor beauties of any kind.
Except cannabis!
