Greetings
I’m trying my hand at starting tomato plants indoors prior to moving to garden in May. Germinating went great and after trying a window sill for first few days, seedlings needed more sun.
I picked up a pair of T8 style full spectrum LED grow lamps hanging over current setup in rewired shop light. They are made by GT-Lite (Menards) and manufacturer has no instructions. After contacting manufacturer, they were clueless, and suggested contacting a botanist.
It can’t be that complicated? Each bulb is 17w LED (34w equivalent) full spectrum, 5K kelvin
Other manufacturers say anywhere from 8-24” from plant.
Anyone have experience with this?

Hi, all 🪴✨
I just got my basil (gevonese), rosemary (Tuscan blue), parsley (Italian flat leaf), and chives (garlic) delivered.
I have not had the best luck with herbs in the past, but I’ve gotten better over the years. These are also from a garden center, not a grocery store.
Checked the roots and they seem like they can stay in their current pots. Doesn’t seem to be overcrowded, then again, I’m not sure what I’m doing 😅
Any helpful advice is appreciated. They are in my west window with the most sun, just a gloomy day today.

Should I be worried about these spots on my tomoatoe seedlings? I don’t see critters and all the plants are kinda smushed together and only 2 leaves have these spots on it. Or is it maybe physical damage. The second one was drooping pretty hard this am (guess it’s time to stake them up!)

Any suggestions about super hard compact dirt for this summer? Last year all my radishes and potatoes where tinie and I think think that’s why.

Hi! New to plants- does this cucumber plant look okay or should I do something to help it? It was watered from the rain last night.

HELP I found these yellow eggs on one of my snap pea leaves this morning, I’m not sure what type of bug they belong to.
I haven’t seen any bugs in my garden except for ladybugs and bees, but something has been eating some holes in my lettuce and spinach, though I haven’t spotted anything under the leaves.

Is it supposed to be this tall????

Hi, all!
I’m starting to grow herbs like basil and green onions indoors.
What is a good fertilizer for edible greens?
I currently use Espoma for my regular houseplants (pothos, monstera, etc.).

I have never been quite successful in growing vegetables, but this year I am determined!! I live in north east Ohio (weather is WILD right now) and I bought a raised garden bed to use, and I’m curious when I should start my seedlings inside. Does it really matter if it’s cold outside if it’s warm in here? I definitely waited too long last year and never got a crop. Any tips welcome!

What is wrong with my Picachu? I have it inside a dome to keep moisture and repot it last week in succulent soil. Leaves were yellowing before repotting. Under a grow light and one feet away from a south facing window. Any help will be really appreciated. 😔
