Indoor Growing with Artificial Lights: A Gardener's Experience

Indoor Growing with Artificial Lights: A Gardener's Experience

Not an "indoor farmer" — just overwintering a few plants by a south window, no artificial lights. Cilantro and jalapeños did well; tomatoes slowed after a week without power in an ice storm. Pushing natural cycles indoors has limits.

Observations

• South window light sufficient for herbs/peppers.
• Tomatoes need more light/heat for good production.
• Power loss = temperature crash = plant stress.

Simple window growing works for some; tomatoes need more.
