I grow peppers, basil, cilantro, and different flowers all the time. I use halide in order to do most of it. Yet, a high pressure sodium would work even better due to the flowering plants. The only problem is that if it's too warm lettuce starts to bolt and flower. I also suggest using tomato hybrids that don't branch out and run as many vines. Find something that stays bushy. YOu can do spinach too.
lmdesade Reviewed by lmdesade on . GROWING FOOD INDOORS I am planning on growing some food in my apartment. I have a 2 bedroom apartment, but one bedroom is quite small ( 8ftx7ft). I have a twin bed in the small room and plan on dedicating the rest of the room to growing some good. So far, i plan on growing tomatoes, strawberries, and lettuce. I will also grow a variety of flowers. My question for the botany students out there, what type of lighting should i be looking at for my plants? Also, what other types of food might i be able to grow Rating: 5
