A tip I have found, if you water from the bottom (in the saucer) the roots grow deeper stabilizing the plant and I understand you prevent nitrogen from being washed off the roots. Plants shouldn't soak in water so if it doesn't absorb all the water in the dish in 15 - 20 minutes empty the dish. A mulch will prevent the top soil from drying out. Just a tip my grandmother taught me back home. It always works for me. Your house is beautiful!!
Hi David, great suggestion - I think I need to trade that small saucer out for a larger one and then I can do this on the cuke. Thanks so much for sharing what works for you! Grandma always knows best! :)
CaliKim!! I am subscribed! You got me with your unique idea of hooking up your clamp light! I need that! 😊
Thanks for subbing! How do I frame this comment forever! I love your excitement about this, I can feel it through your post! Welcome aboard and I truly hope you find my channel inspiring and educational! Thank you, Maria! Kim
Kim! The plants both look incredible! Awesome job!
Hello Luke - super pleased with the progress, so simple to set up and hoping for a good harvest!
Get boot trays to put your plants in. Protects your floors and looks nice if you put gravel or small rocks in it.
the plants look amazing.healthy and growing.great job!!
Love growing indoors! Very nice video!
Your plants are looking great! Can't wait to see the fruit
They are totally taking off! So exciting!
Thank you Kim, you're awesome
plants look great and are growing super fast
Thanks - Joshua! Looking forward to harvest!
Looking good Kim. Definitely a tall enough tomato cage for Jack and a Giant to come down. One of the down sides to indeterminate tomatoes. Just keep it trimmed and you shouldn't have unwanted guests. LOL
I find the square cages work better as they're the same diameter top to bottom. Good luck. I'm growing tomatoes, peppers, strawberries and sweet potatoes under lights.
Such a great idea this is!
awesome I love your videos !!! so cool your growing tomato's indoors love it
Kim, good job, I like you lamp stands, nice Idea.
Can't wait to see how they turn out :)
u answered a question I was gonna ask. lol pollination the bees. lmbooo . great info Kim!! can't wait for the NX vid
Looks great!
Love the video Kim and your plants are beautiful
Thanks so much, Jim! I am excited that they are making good progress!
Super excited about this series! I'm moving into an apartment that may or may not have a deck/patio/balcony so I'm definitely going to need all the tips I can get about growing indoors. Keep up the awesome videos!
Hi Garden Dragon - perfect - so easy to grow some of your own food indoors - keep me posted! Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for the video ma'am.
Looking great! Don't forget to hand pollinate those blossoms :) Keep up the great videos! :)
I am excited starting my seeds to be transfered outside when time. Your plants looks absolutely wonderful. The smart pot works perfectly. Thank you for sharing the process. Excited for your success.:)
Pam, I am so excited that you are getting going! Can't wait for you to get them outdoors! Loving the progress indoors - thanks of your support!
great ideas to plant vggies indoors I would like your advise on pollinating
Kim you inspire me! The timing of this video is perfect as I have 3 tomato plants that are taking off indoors and now I know my next step. These were cuttings I took in the fall from my established plants. Hoping they will continue to thrive indoors.Thanks for all the great information. Your plants are beautiful.
great job....lookn good
hey nice video kim im growing tomatoes and Carolina reapers peppers in a growing light there doing so great your plants are doing great as well
I started cucumbers just to see if they would grow under my ring light well they all germinated and now I have to place them in those white cups until they get a little bigger then repot them. I’m excited and neevous
There exists a little water sprinkler spout that you can put on pop bottles. I have two that I have on two litre pop bottles for top watering.
They are awesome but there goes your dining room tableLol!! My husband Bill knows that from Jan2 through April 1 the dining room table is ALL MINE👩🏻🌾👩🏻🌾👩🏻🌾👩🏻🌾👩🏻🌾👩🏻🌾
For future, I use the elevated stands with little wheels. Keep plant well off wood floor.
Hi there I just finished watching a couple of your videos I’m growing tomatoes and cucumbers I happen to be doing this myself and grow tent but my cucumbers have been turning yellow leaves I thought I was under watering them and then I thought I was overwatering them and then I thought I wasn’t giving them enough nutrients help! I’d like to send you a picture of my set upstairs on
Thanks🙏
They're growing so well! What kind of bulbs are you using?
KIMI GET THAT FOX FARM POTTING SOIL, IT HAS GUANO IN IT. STUFF GROWS VERY FAST
Wow looks great! Should I be starting tomato seeds in my green house? Or it's to early? I'm in south Louisiana
Hi Kim, I am on top of your progress, looking good. Do you make your own potting mix? If so what do you use to make your mix. Thanks....:)
Once you put in the cages, how do you then put the grow lights over them? also can you at some point do a video on growing food on a wall? Like a living edible wall? Thanks!
I am in the midwest zone 6b. We had some warm weather over the weekend before and I got excited after doing some yard work. I plan to grow some indoor veggies and herbs. I'll have to find grow lights that span a larger area. Any suggestions? Thanks for the videos.
Looks great. What kind of cucumber do you have there. Most cucumbers need pollinators but there are a few varieties that don't. like corinto .
How did you get your lamp fixture inside that small tomato cage?
Hey Kim plants look great what size blub are u using on the lamp
Crystal Rorie they look llike 30 watt
Hi there! I am at the beginning of growing tomatoes and want to add cucumbers and later squash. I will be using grow lights. What kind are you growing? Also, how tall is the tomato cage you chose? Thanks! The plants look great!
Hi Kim, I enjoy your videos and learning from you.
Question - what's the difference between your grow light which is white and mine which has red/blue light? I am new to this and got the red/blue light bulb for germination. Am I doing wrong?
it's really gorgeous at first sight !!!! what will be the total cost now for getting fruit from these two plants and what will be the outcome from these two plants is that worth????
awesome looking vegetable plants so how did thay do indoors did you ever have to move them outdoors
hi Kim do you have to water your tomatoe and cucumber plants using this system also it's a good idea to remove the lower stems so that most of the water and soil nutrients go all the way to the top of the plant.
Wow they have grown so much... Mine are puttering along but I don't think my 4foot grow light is going to cut it, I'm going to have to pick up the stuff to make your set up... I have them inside the reflective "greenhouse" where I have my growlight in the table but they are too tall
Very useful video but I have bunch of questions. How many hours of light do you give the plant every day? Is it 24 hrs? What kind of light bulb did you use? How ofter do you water the plant? What temperature do you maintain in your house?
hey Kim, the plants look strong. Are you concerned about growing 2 tomato plants together? I see 2 major shoots and wanted to ask, thanks
Hi Kim, I have had a chilli plant in a 2.5litre pot for a while now and the plant has produced a few chilli, would replanting the plant in a 10 litre pot produce more chilli or make the plant grow bigger?? Thank you
Does matter on indoor outdoor veggies plants I was wondering light source?
Is the dirt only good for 1 year if not, what do you do with the dirt?
whenshoud you add liquid fertiliser to a cucumber and tomato plant?
I would plant some radishes around the outer edge of at least the tomatoe plant. They will be harvested and removed, and maybe even a second crop can be harvested before your first ripe tomatoe !!
Hi Vicky -wonderful idea! Thanks for the suggestion!
How many watts does the growlight need to be?
Do you have any Rosemary growing inside....I do and I'm (It's) having issues. Leaves are turning brown. I was told to replant in different soil it has been a week or so but I don't think it worked. I still see browning leaves. Could it be a deficiency? Should I just wait?
There's nothing like saying pass the tomatoes and you just reach over and pluck one right off the plant next to the dining room table.
JeffreyViews, yep, and you don’t even need to wash it cause they haven’t been sprayed with toxins. Now that’s organic.
I love this.. But oh my that tomato cage so huge.. There are shorter cherry tomato plants right
What is grow light bulb. Is it special bulb for plants
Hola Kim! :) I noticed this is the second time you mention using a special grow light bulb, what kind of bulb is it? They are really looking great!
Hello Rod, the link is in my Amazon Store Front, calikimgardenandhome.com/amazon-gardening-store-front/, and also in the video description. They are working like a charm. Hope your Saturday is great!
CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY Thanks Kim! Who'd of thought the video description would have so much useful information, hahahaha! Feeling under the weather out here and it's such a beautiful day :( You guys enjoy your Saturday as well :)
The link is not currently working
Did you ever actually get tomatoes from the indoor plant?
They look nice but they need more light. You can never have too much light when growing indoors under lights. I use an 8 bulb T5 system with 50/50 6500k bulbs for veg and 3000k bulbs for flowering/fruiting, for a total of 40,000 lumens Even with that I could use more light lol
What would i need for 1 roma tomato plant?
If your still growing have you tried grow tents?
No I have not but they seem they would be fun to try!!! You? Kim
How do I pollinate my fruit's inside ?
Do you leave the lights on for 24 hours a day
Put them inside a plastic bucket so it's self watering from bottom or the bucket will catch water when you water from top
Why do you think that cage won't work on outside plants? I use 54", 4 legged heavy duty cages like that on my outdoor toms and they work great.A word to the wise tho', the tall 3 legged kind made with the wire like the small cage will not work for indeterminate toms, they are not strong enough. Your plants look great! I'll be starting my stuff in the next 3 weeks.

how do you control fungus gnats indoors,they are everywhere on the windows and floors
Hello Butter Nut - I like to use a few things to control those pesky gnats.
1. Apple Cider Vinegar with just a drop of dish soap attracts them and kills them - see this in my Grow Light Closet tour video, ua-cam.com/video/r2B0ry_2RKo/v-deo.html.
2. Sprinkle cinnamon on the surface of the soil - this also helps control fungus and mold.
3. Spray with a Neem oil solution.
I will be doing a video on controlling fungus gnats very soon - stay tuned! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the suggestion! Glad to hear those work!
I am always fighting with fungus gnats. I have tried EVERYTHING, did you have good results using Sticky Stakes?
Butter Nut Try using a product called SM-90 , we use it and gnats are usually wiped out after just one soil drench :)
always keep electric above water
Yes, indeed!
A GFI would be a good idea too. Either installed in the receptacle, or they sell cords with ground fault interrupters built in.
❤❤✊❤❤

Save yourself a high electric bill by putting a tableinfront of the window place both plants on it and get that natural light.
