Right on!!

We got an Aerogarden (small hydro unit) and grow a lot of herbs in that. It’s awesome cooking with the fresh herbs. Basil, rosemary, thyme, etc.

It’s awesome! We keep the"garden" on the counter in the kitchen, and just love that smell.

Have been harvesting basil for spaghetti sauce. Cilantro has been up for a few days and the dill just came up today.

Tomatoes (left) are doing fine. Bell peppers just sprouted seedlings today.

I am going to grow some peppers and tomatoes. What light cycle do you use?

12/12. A tomato plant only requires half the DLI of cannabis to do well.

Tomato, cilantro, and basil are doing great. Only 2 or 3 dill seeds came up, but no biggie since I don’t use much any way. Just for salmon and tzatziki sauce. The peppers just put up their 1st set of true leaves.

These are going to be pretty hot. Should be some killer salsa.

What peppers are you growing besides bell?

Just bell peppers.

Put my mostly veggie grow into tent. First
Time using tent and light.

Ten weeks after planting: the first ripe tomato. I should figure out how to do a perpetual grow. I’m going to have more than I can eat over a couple of weeks and that will be it.

The pepper plants are flowering, but don’t yet have fruit. The plants are super healthy.

My wife is a pepper freak, each year i grow her some of the hottest peppers you can buy all so she can regret her decisions :rofl:

In the past we’ve grow Reaper, Death Spirals, Bhutlahs, Apocalypse Scorpions, 7 pot Chocolates and Ghosts, along with any other thing she sees online and cant live without.

Me? A jalapeño is about as far as i can go, a Cayenne if im feeling really ballsy, but that woman isnt happy unless her teeth are melting.

Ill never understand the fascination with super hots…but what momma wants, momma gets. :fire:

I have mustard greens for my uromastyx, tomatoes, and sugar snap peas going now. My peppers aren’t up yet. Basil is just starting to pop. It’s fun having a variety of winter crops especially living in the frozen tundra of the northeast lol
