Starting some new veggies indoors

Hey everyone, Was busy over the holidays with family and travel, but was checking in as I could. Honestly, it was a break after doing the last processing of over 10 pounds (dried, cured, sealed weight) from the Fall cannabis harvest. It was indeed crazy and a whirlwind of activity through the process and then the rest of the holiday season.

One of the things that I received from family members over the holiday was a cool little hydroponic setup. Thought I would experiment with it a little for some early starter plants to transfer outside in 6-8 weeks. It’s kinda cool and it has both a veg and flower setting to change the type of lighting, the usual timers, and a pump for circulation that comes on intermittently. Got several Tiny Tim Cherry Tomato plants (Yellow, Orange, Red), some dwarf cucumber plants, and then starting some full size tomato plants for the garden area as well. And then in the last row, I may have accidentally dropped four LSD Autoflower seeds. Not sure how that occurred, but lets just go with it for now. I also started 16 plants of the little 1-2 inch lunchbox sweet bell peppers in another grow light starter kit with peat discs, since they were recommended to me here on the forum to try. Grew a cover crop of clover, rye, cow peas and other stuff in the garden that I will plow under in a week or so to get the outside garden area ready for the transplants. Just wondering, anyone else already starting for your next Spring outside planting adventures? Hope everyone is having a great day.

The unit.

Just a quick update on the little indoor hydroponic unit for veggies…

This picture is from February 3rd, about 11 days after the very first picture:

And this one is from today, February 11th. Cucumbers are going crazy already and the tomatoes are looking good so far. Tiny Tim tomatoes on the left side. Mini cucumbers in the center 4 spots. Full size tomatoes on the right of the cucumbers. The last row on the right are/were Autoflowers, LSD Auto and Blue Dream Auto. Have found out that the marijuana seeds don’t particularly care for this kind of setup. I lost 3 of the LSD ones and back planted with the Blue Dream. None of them look good or are having anywhere near the growth they should. But that’s how we learn things:

I’m thinking about putting them all in Solo cups with soil soon to get them ready for hardening off for outside planting when ready. Hope you enjoy these.
