I use rockwool too. It is a pain to start though.

I notice that you have two plants growing in you pot under lights. They are doing great! I'm wondering how that will affect your production. Also, were the plants growing in the window started the same time as those two under the lights?

I have two buckets going with the Brandywines, but both buckets have only one plant with 2 stems....I planted them deep in the buckets and they already had the two stems so I thought we would try it out....lol...the two containers in the window are Kratky Hydroponics method with Lemon and Thai Basil...should have pruned them earlier....cheers....

Read through all of this thread and really enjoyed it. I just started planting tom's this year, but I am certainly going to start planning and acquiring the materials to have a successful head-start for the 2018 Spring season and an indoor vegetable grow through the winter!

Everything is looking delicious. Your grow system is working out very well for you. Well done!

It looks like you will be having some salad tonight.

You have a mini Garden of Eden there. A lot of the plants in those photos can be grown from cuttings. Have you considered doing that? I am really impressed by your handy work.
