lettuce is growing better in clumps because there is less root damage when moving them.... Planting Tomatoes or tomatillos, plant deeper than you think. plant until the whole bottom layer of leaves is under ground.....they will become roots and the stalks will get very strong. deep is better, you could even plant 4 or more levels of leaves deep if you want. I bet your indeterminant tomatoes will grow 10 feet long because you have such good support systems. I have seen people, that hate lettuce, eat fresh lettuce and love it. It is so delicate and tender. Well done my friend

I honestly believe you have a better handle on solar than any of the preppers in my friend group. Are you looking into Star Link? We've given it a look, I was surprised to see that is is country dependent. Meaning I'd need to buy a US version and a Mexico version(the whole set up). I'm also not far from Canada so if I ever went there, I may need even another. I think there is some border town overlap and some limited capability between countries....but for the best it's country dependent. I look forward to more of the solar content Luis.

@OldSchoolPrepper I'm looking into the RV starlink that is portable, not sure if it's country dependent, I'm only putting up solar content of applications that are not the norm, applications preppers are not talking about but would work for long term and would be small enough to realistically protect from EMP, this unit can be connected to a tool battery in a emergency, the variable voltage from 18v all the way up to 58v makes this unit a realistic prepper last ditch option it will accept any DC power source from solar to battery within the variable voltage ⚡️

What are your thoughts on that? Also, I've never run an inverter from anything but the voltage range of batteries (which usually isn't that broad). The voltage range out of panels (especially when many are wired together) can be a bit wider. Did you have any thoughts on that going into your inverter?

@OldSchoolPrepper I'm here fighting with old seeds lol, I've had to do some viability test, not great results because I bought seeds at the end of the year, but I got some lettuce up already and a cherry tomato plant out of 20 seeds 😆, but all I need is about 2 more to germinate, so I believe I'll be ok.

That's a beefy setup there for fences. You could grow triffids in there!

@PraxisPrepper first I'm going to make sure the lettuce and tomatoes can't get out, if it works, then I'll grow the triffids.
