3 Ways to Grow Greens Indoors- Video compares 3 indoor growing methods!

Determined to produce my own veggies year round, I'm experimenting with 3 ways to grow salad greens indoors in this video. I compare the Aerogarden Harvest Elite Slim home hydroponic kit, my go-to seed starting kit, and the 'double cup' method for growing salad greens in my home during the winter months. See which method came out on top & which could use some tweaking!

This was SO helpful as I’m contemplating my plan for my first go at leafy greens.

I'm looking forward to what your next experimental results bring, Jenna.

Any kind of greens in the winter is fine. Keep trying until you fine what works best. I went out and cut some Portuguese Kale the other day and we've been eating for two days and it's so good.

Well done video. You provided me with multiple options and food for thought. You are also a very good presenter. Nice work. I'm subscribing

I've tried several set ups and my current one is 2 gallon pots with a 50 cent saucer (WM) that you can buy when they're in stock. You can turn the pots and space them as they grow and I even stake them with a bamboo when they've gotten tall. Succession planting gives you large leaf lettuce along with fish emulsion. One plant per pot... is great for lettuce. You can use a 2 or 3 gallon pot for collards and kale that can be transferred into the garden come spring. Leaf gets large enough to make wraps with. I'd be transferring those seedlings into larger pots.... to eliminate crowding and get large, healthy plants. Gotta eat your GREENS! 🥬🥗🥬☀😎

Ha. Love it. Yet again, doing the same here. Working on my indoor set up. Got lights and shelves everywhere. Also working on mixing my own potting soils and figuring out lights. Fun stuff. Part of my mission is to learn better seed starting practices. Another is to provide greens for myself and my chickens. Yup go led. Crank up the wattage and spectrum. For me, aero garden too much to spend for so little growing room, though it looks like it works well.

Hello from Canton! I use heavy duty 1020 flats. 1 slotted and 1 solid. Hydrate soil mix (peat moss, perlite and vermiculite) with boiling water to kill any bug eggs. 6k daylight bulbs. 14 hours on. I fertilize with diluted fish emulsion and kelp every 2 weeks. Ate off plants in cut/come again style for 4 months. I have a microgreen shelving unit set up so I just used it. Vivosun makes great lights but I used led linkable lights off Amazon. Like $80 For set of 4. They work great for growing greens!

That aerogarden does look nice. Might have to ask Santa for that.

One that tube light is it a T8, T5 or what is it? Lettuce will do just fine under 12 hours of light. Tomatoes and fruity plants need at least 14 hours. That Aero Garden is sweet little system but for the price my wing light and cheap tote using the kratky method works really awesome for an 1/8 of the cost. I am doing a tomato plant under a new light that was sent to me for reviewing. Last year I done one under a couple Sansi lights that done ok but needed more. With a little luck this Spider Farmer light will do a much better job. That video will be out Monday. I had to laugh on the south window lettuce ya done. That was priceless my friend. Stay safe and warm up there and have a wonderful rest of the week!

Have you looked into Kratky hydroponics? It's a passive hydroponic set up that would be a great "transplanting" step for your grow plug seedlings.
