GROWING VEGETABLES INDOORS // Tomatoes and LED Grow Light Review

In this video we are setting up an indoor garden to grow vegetables out of season or to extend your growing season. I will be doing a led grow light review on Spider Farmers SF 2000 and grow tent. Growing vegetables indoors will help you increase growing space and allow you to become a little more self sufficient and less dependent on grocery stores for out of season produce.

I started my indoor, apartment garden first week of April. I love my veggies front to back - morning to afternoon sun. All started from seeds. All my squash, zucchini, tomatoes, okra, jalapenos, lettuce, garlic, ginger, red onions, green spring onions, sweet potatoes, beets, sweet bell peppers, all all growing quickly and look beautiful. And I can eat the beet leaves and the beet bulb, which is cool. And Zucchini leaves are so beautiful & ornamental.....so my landlord doesn't know I am growing an outside garden, indoors....lol I will get a grow light, soon, as I want my veggies to be stable in one place for the duration. I will harvest seeds from my veggies, for next year. I appreciate all you teaching, guidance, and advice, as I am a novice and want to become self sufficient! So....THANK YOU for all you do in helping us grow real, un-tampered food! With all the hormones, steroids, antibiotics, nuclear/radiation & metals in the earth that damages soil.....I refuse to eat store bought. God bless you!

Also the herbicides that have glyphosate which is known to cause cancer. That's why I am seeking organic options from the store and growing my own. Also I figured I would let people know just in case if it's of any help. But I researched led lights for a while. The one he's using is good and the mars hydro. But it was out of my price range. So I found a really good light that is comparable to the mars hydro but for only $60 instead of $260. It's a generic tsl 2000 that is 3ft long from ebay for only $60. Anyways happy gardening.

[@Proudchristian1975]

Greetings from Louisiana !! I'm so glad you did this. I just purchased some grow lights from Amazon before I discovered your channel on KZbin. I have no idea what I'm doing and I am new to gardening so this is very helpful. I'm currently growing sweet corn squash zucchini green beans lettuce carrots garlic mint Oregon Parsley basil PotatoesTomatoes okra Watermelon Jalapenos bell peppers Bunching onions and cantaloupe on my 2nd floor apartment balcony ! And just in case anyone was wondering, Yes my neighbors think I'm crazy, and the squash bugs found me way up here ! I very recently found myself going through a divorce after 21 years of marriage, and I found that gardening is cheaper than therapy, and for me ,more effective. May God continue to bless your family and your garden.

Having homegrown tomatoes in winter is totally worth $300. I’m in. I grew a certain herb using the fluorescent-type grow lights and that worked exceptionally well. I did make my own grow tent using aluminum foil covered cardboard. A quick tip. I got better growth using air pots vs conventional bottom draining pots. Thanks for the cool video. This should be fun!

[@NextLevelGardening]

Awesome! I think so too. If you get the light let me know your email address in a pm on Instagram or Facebook.

I have been thinking of an indoor garden for a long time. My growing season is very short. In fact, I can't plant most vegetables until Memorial Day! It will be below freezing this Friday night. I will set something up soon, but look forward to watching your progress. Please continue with all good and bad, and an learning curves. It will be greatly appreciated.

Birmingham, AL I have this exact light running for the first time and I and just bought my second sf2000. Just germinated my first batch of tomato seeds (Kelloggs Bkfast & Cherokee Purple, and VF Romas). I can already tell that my first shoots are not getting ‘leggy’ as my seedlings did last year under other Agrolite fixtures. Planning to continue my determinate Romas going indoors under the sf2000. Awesome lights. Love the dimmer capability. Not too much heat put off, just enough to keep the plants around 78 degrees. Bomb! Josh

Here in Texas, I was able to grow a tomato during nov- Dec indoors with the snow. I used grocery bought tomatoes as an experiment. It grew pretty fast by my window.

[@NextLevelGardening]

Nice. Thats the goal.

[@nanarose3496]

Valerie Sanchez I’m curious, was there a huge improvement in flavor over the original grocery store tomatoes you started with?

[@generalawareness101]

I just went to the local farmer's market and have some peppers I wish to grow, but we are moving into fall so by the time they would sprout and grow to a normal plant it would be coming up on Winter, so I need some sort of artificial light. With lockdowns on the horizon, or the forced mandates, I have decided that now is the time to supplement my food by growing my own, but so many false claims on the LED lights that I don't know what to buy. One thing I do know is that if the LED light fixture does not include a cooling fan I will not touch it. LEDs get hot as you can tell by touching the heatsink base on any over 10w. Try and touch the base of a household LED 110v lightbulb after 20 mins on. Now, be sure to rub some aloe on the new burn you just received.

I've grown tomatoes indoors last year and got 2kg of tomatoes from 3 plants! It was the first time growing tomatoes in general and especially indoor. So it's absolutely doable! One thing I didn't agree in the video is about not having a fan, which he said would be useful for smelly stuff to grow into the tent. The fan is absolutely necessary to create air circulation and maintaining correct level of humidity as well, or you're gonna end with condensation, mold, fungus, or plants not able to absorb nutrients due to wrong VPD (temperature and humidity are strictly linked to each in terms of how plant live and develop!)

[@alantrico]

I am very interested in seeing how this works. I may do it in my next off season.

I grow tomatoes (16+ plants so far) under 2 grow lights all year. I purchased (2) SF2000 lights and (2) Maxisun pb2000 lights. I use the SF2000s to grow tomatoes/hot peppers/green peppers/basil/thyme. The SF2000 lights are excellent performing led lights and absolutely grows tomatoes all year, seed to fruit in an area approx. 2 ft x 4 ft. Recently, the price has dropped significantly so you can pick up an SF2000 for approx. 269. The Maxisun is cheaper. Over the last month, the yield is about 12 - 25 tomatoes per week for these16 tomato plants.

Putting a fan on oscillate will help move air around, and will help strengthen the stalks as it grows. indoor growing has no wind lol.

You can get florescent plant and aquarium bulbs from Home Depot, Wal-Mart etc $10. Grow all winter.

Hello, I am here in Michigan in the suburbs, 15 minuets out of Detroit, I am 61 and will be starting a new garden with my sons help. At one time my yard was full of plants and vegetables but in 2005 I had 3 heart attacks and lost all interest in everything. Now with being home with everyone else during the Corona Virus and with lots of encouragement from my son I am planning out my garden. Oddly as I type this your episode about your Aneurysm update is on. WOW. we are both survivors. I have been binge watching all your KZbin videos so you have encouraged me to start living a better life than sitting in my room. I am also thinking about doing some videos on my garden progress. I will keep you in my prayers and thank you so much for all the time you have put into your videos. Melinda

I got my seeds from baker and am having fantastic results in y two grow tents. I have a lot of butter crunch and it's doing fantastic also. I am going to grow Tomatoes inside all the way to production. I'm glad to see you starting this. I put some cheap plastic shelves ,$20 per setup and I have to have at least 60 plants per tent. Also I have learned so much from you and have been gardening for many years. Thank you!

I am doing a grow like this, useing the cheapest alibaba lights i could find, running 2 rooms 1 for salad and herbs and 1 for growing tomatos, chilli, eggplants and strawberrys. Living in norway, our season is to short and this is tje way to go i beilve. I run 2 lights of 240w in both rooms, playing White the output to determine the henging height as they almost killed my plants when i ran them at 280w(light are dimable) lowered them to 150w and lowered the lights aswell as alot of plants where reaching for the lights. For the last weeks i lowered it to 100w as my chilli plant seems to get to much light and the leefs are curling, on the other hand it's branching out well and putting on lots of flowers and the first chillis are growing well. Thanks for your uploads, seen a few of them now and it has helped me. Will be fun to follow this and see how your lights do, i was lokking at the spider farmer but i liked the ones i got better for the buck. The lights i am happy whit having 4 uv and 4 ir 2 rows of red and 10 rows white light, dimable from 100w to 280w. Next up is cucumber, will be fun to see how they react.

[@jasonandrissachurchill566]

I'm actually already using a spider farmer light in a 2×2 tent with a smaller light that only cost under a hundred dollars but still the quality of the light is basically unbelievable. I've always used T5 lights and when I switched to the spider farmer I was definitely amazed when I turned it on and how bright it was. I've been using it now for a couple of grows and still amazed with the quality and the outcome of my plants. I will be upgrading soon to a bigger tent and bigger light and will definitely be always using the spider farmer light.

I’m thankful you went through this methodically, I’m looking into this very thing myself. Growing microgreens, starting my seeds early indoors before coldframing in the early spring, or growing veggies in the late fall/winter. My birthday is this month so I’m hoping to buy a 2x4, multi-shelf setup for my basement here in Virginia.

[@TFCFMINNISTRY12]

I totally need that tropical seating area in my yard! Beautiful.

[@alicabban6327]

Yeah you need an exhaust fan system to grow veg to control humidity and to promote strong stem growth. Use the cheap vivosun 8 inch fans.

[@hijimmyc]

Just want to make a helpful note. I tried an experiment a few years back and had beautiful tomato plants but no fruit. After a lot of research I had almost given up but found humidity can affect pollinization. If the humidity is too high the grains of pollen will not self pollinate. Now I used a HID which generates a lot of heat and that might make a difference.

[@eodvet485]

I have 2x spider farmer 1000 inside a 2 chamber grow tent. One for germination at half power and 6in above the top of the seed tray. one for first transplant out of the little trays into 4inch pots at 18in. I've noticed that for the seedlings the light works well. I bring seedlings outside for a bit of full sun. I haven't had any leaf burn issues. The 4in pots with 2-6in plants stay out all day and come in at night. ( pest protection) all day sun and zero issues with wilt or color change.

[@jimmavity]

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

I grow tomatoes in the winter.

[@GrowingAnswers]

I kind of skipped around the video a little cuz I didn’t have time, but are you using an exhaust fan? Constant fresh air flowing in and out is pretty important. Also those lighting hours they specified on the light are for growing maripickels mainly (short day plant). You can grow plenty of plants with lighting 18 hours on during fruit/flower. Maripickels is just one of the few plants that require 12 darkness to flower. Aside from that, more light hours = more energy for growth with some exceptions.

I'll be watching, too. I have a small Harbor Freight greenhouse, heated and has both LED and Fluorescents. Raised beds, and auto watered just short of right amount, so I can hand water what's needed on hot days. Already experienced too wet 1st attempt. I tried several of the old traditional tomatoes, but they couldn't stand up to the pests, so I've settled on the two that do survive best here. Better Boy for the long run, and Celebrity for the short haul and cool season. I'm also trying the Mortgage Lifter for 1st time, am amazed at its growth. It exudes energy just looking at it, and it has several marble size mators among the blooms. I have high hopes for it.

Would be interesting to add Watt meter on the input to that, even though LED's have excellent efficacy, that's a lot of light on for a lot of time. Seeing as you are in Cali, you'd have the sun to run in on a solar system easily, might be worth considering for a little extra. Sadly the solar set up isn't really possible where I am, and all the growing I do is inside, always been tempted to building something like this, so keen to see how it turns out.

Right now I have them growing outside in my garden which is in the very point of the state of South Carolina. Thus far they are not doing the best. Because those San Marzano‘s are not hybrids in any way shape or form. I have a round 14 plants. So in the end we’ll see how many pounds of San Marzano’s I get off of each plant. I came here looking for somebody doing this because I would like to grow eight of them indoors pretty much continuously. Excited to see how this all works out since you are actually growing San Marino tomatoes.

[@usmcmdpd0351]

This is a little too pricey for my budget BUUUUUT, for those of us with white fly, blight and other disease and fungal issues, this might also save you money on organic pesticides and anti-fungals. I’d love to have this product to be able to grow cool weather crops all year round. In south Florida where it gets up in the 100’s during the summer, not to mention Hurricanes, this would be a blessing. Also something else that comes to mind, if you lose power, you can hook it up to a portable generator or even solar power if you have that capability. Brian, as usual, great video sir!!

Its certainly a better hobby than playing video games and recording it for youtube, to get 30 views per video.

The Grove tent is to control the heat humidity and the amount of darkness

Love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We want to grow tomatoes in our basement. Please keep my husband and I updated on this. We are interested in this setup. Where did you get your San marzono tomato plant?Would love to grow those!!!

[@NextLevelGardening]

Let me know if you get it because I want to include you and our cumulative results. I got the San marzano seeds from Baker Creek.

@@NextLevelGardening Ron is going to watch now. He came in for lunch. We are on central time zone in Iowa. We only have a few months in summer to grow tomatoes

The sun could be lead using fiberglass. Would be interesting to try.

[@susanpatterson4092]

I am very interested in following your progress and maybe obtaining one for myself

[@samoatodd8730]

How cool!

[@garynunes4222]

I have something like that that started, same type set up but a little more advanced. Late July in Arizona, growing bell peppers, onions, green beans growing up a scrog net and carrots growing in clear 2gal cheese ball container. Proper light, air circulation and humidity control. Love your videos....reach out.

Brian: Looking forward to seeing how this works. I once has my own greenhouse and miss going out to it in the middle of an Oregon winter to get some light and tend my plants. This looks like it would give you the ability to turn any room in the house into a greenhouse.

[@bethpearce4668]

Is there an update to these products and how they performed?

[@Kezz2762]

Excellent video & yep I'm joking along with the grow. I have 8 different varieties of tomatoes & have just launched them under the sf light. Greetings from South Australia too btw & thank you from a new sub

[@propsandcosplay]

Here in the uk I am likely to get a knock at my door by the cops 😂 😂 😂

[@Cheshhire]

How did the tomatoes and up? Is there a video that shows what happened?

[@lukasp.8298]

Great video! However lumen aren't the best value to look at when choosing a light, there are better indicators like ppfd or micromole per jule.

[@cynthiapaul9795]

I am VERY interested to see how this goes.

[@Mike-hr6jz]

Cherry tomatoes you can grow with this year-round not full size tomatoes but cherry tomatoes many determinants up to a point dwarf plants year round

[@g.esmith6216]

I am real interested in this but will wait for the taste test before committing. Great video

[@dennistheriault5168]

Just saw this video. Wondering what you think about the grow lights

[@carolynn8926]

Hi Brian! Looks great, but wondered how much this light costs to run for 18 hours a day, for a month. I have two other grow lights that I don't use any more because of the very high cost.

[@alicecowan3499]

Love the idea,I live where we have snow for about 4 months of the year. This year we invested in a greenhouse hoping to have fresh veggies this winter too!..I am so hopeful !
