I have green beans all over the place now. Another week and I should be able to harvest my first pod. My Cherokee Purple tomato has sprung right up and started looking like a tomato. My Brown Berry Cherry tomato is above ground. I have 2 peppers above ground and 2 still trying to germinate.
On recommendations from Grosend88 in the comments on video 6, I’ve added a fan that I am going to run when the lights are on. I should probably run it all the time, but then I would have to plug and unplug it. Right now, I just use the switch on my power strip to turn everything on and off so I’ll be lazy for now.
I decided to start 3 more green bean plants – 2 in 2 liter bottles, and one in a milk jug to see how little soil I can use and still get green beans. I also decided to try my 2 varieties of lettuce again now that I have a better light and see if I can get something from them.
Thanks for the comments!

Get a timer switch. Also, are you putting in many seeds? It is better to over sow and then thin them out later.

Get a heat mat (for plants or for aching muscles) (aim for 82-90 degrees) place aluminum food container on top of the heat mat, pour some water into it. Get some plastic cups pour in dirt place seeds on top sprinkle dirt over that mist the cups and place them into the container….thats it, it will probably take a week or so..

I also suggest …
I also suggest growing some herbs like basils (cut the flower buds off if you want lots of leaves for cooking), fern leave dill (dont let it flower either!), Cilantro, parsley. They are easy to grow by the window or with your add on lights and they grow pretty fast!

I suggest using …
I suggest using Jiffy Windowsill greenhouse that come with 12 soil disk to sprout first. Seeds usually need little light to sprout, once you have little greens coming out, put it by the window. Wait for the 4th sets of leaves before planting the plant in a pot. Also research how big the plant can be so you can use an appropriate sized pot. I usually pinch off top leaves once it has more than 10 sets to encourage branching. Hope this help. BTW, I love your home made light system!

I think you’re doing great. I have one black cherry tomato I’ve been growing indoors going on the third month with no extra lighting. I’ve kept it at the window facing south and it’s now reached the height of a bit over three feet and has several blossoms. Keep at it.
