- Much like the garden outside growing indoors does not have to be complex nor expensive. In order to enjoy gardening inside you will need three things, Soil, Light and Seeds.
What is the best potting mix
What kind of light do you need to grow food indoors
What kinds of plants can you grow during the winter

Great video! Thanks for not being annoying like some of these people. Great facts and you didn't spend 10 minutes talking about yourself!! Thanks you!!
It was completely devoid of emotion and robotic, we need more people like this on youtube, so we can skip the bs and just get right to the information, I need my information now, I hate it when I have to wait for their personal shit.
Or loud music grinding in the background 😬!
I agree
@@WHALEx3 Oi ll
Gardening should be a school requirement to help build self reliance. I'll be incorporating into our family hobby.
Thats how I was taught in the Arctic and I love that my son does it with me.
I want to grow but im 17 years old and living with my parents guess im turning my bedroom into a garden
Do it! There are lots of ways to grow in a small indoor space. I live with my parents too and the only thing that gets in my way is my mom moving my outdoor plants to spaces where they get hardly any light.
Judging by your name, I'm going to go with your parents & tell you absolutely no, you're not growing in their house. Move out & commit crimes on your own property. Don't victimize your parents.
JG JG wow how’d I miss that?
@@jgjg3848 😂😂😂
@@jgjg3848 Crimes? lol that completely depends on where you live. If i had the money id have a tent stuffed with four plants right now and i wouldn't be breaking a single law lol
Pretty cool information, especially the light bulb types. I grow vegetables inside too. I have a 2 1/2 BR and I just turned the whole 1/2 BR into a grow room.
Dark Kore Cool!!! I gonna try that!!
I'm doing this as well
What's a BR?
@@newhope8433bedroom
@@newhope8433😂😂😂 it’s the conventional abbreviation for BedRoom. My question is what is half a bedroom?🤔
dude that was a great straight forward video with no bs. Thanks a lot! Keep it real homie
it was completely devoid of emotion, just like how I like my women.
@@WHALEx3 hey 😝
That was a great demonstration of Light application (time lapse) It was marvelous
Thank you my friend. I have been very much enjoying working with the equipment I have to make interesting videos :)
Yes I really enjoyed the time lapse.
+Alberta Urban Garden Simple Organic and Sustainable Hello Stephen, have you tried picolino cukes yet? they can grow inside without the polination
Something soothing about a timelapse of plants sprouting up.
Thank you for making these great videos. Hope all is well with you. It is really cool to come across someone from my town who deals with the long cold winters. Growing food at home fascinates me. I've had some success with raised garden beds but I need to increase drainage. Thanks again. Great work with growing your own food.
Had seen this video last year when I was juts starting. Had to stop by and watch it again. Great stuff.
Really well done! This was the first video I've watched on this subject and you made everything very clear, simple, and straightforward. Thank you, 10 stars!
Nicely done video on winter gardening inside the home. I started some lettuce greens too, as an insurance policy when my outdoor gardening slows down in January and February. Each year maybe there will be more of us.
They sure help me get through the long cold months :)
I never thought about growing leafy greens indoors. Thanks for that suggestion.
It helps us get through the Canadian winters ;)
Alberta Urban Garden Simple Organic and Sustainable yes-i used to live in Edmonton and now I live in northern British Columbia-my garden ended a while ago and this summer was cold with a lot of rain so it didn't produce very well at all
Indoors at least you can get some production regardless of the weather :)
I love how straight to the point you are ❤️❤️❤️
Glad I can help :)
Really appreciate this info. It was straight-up and to the point. I dont really have this type of lighting and I have been experimenting with growing in pots by every window. However, I get lots of bugs (fruitfly-like) and wondered about whether I should continue.
You have answered many questions I have pondered. Thank you.
Sharing information and thank you for sharing love.
You look healthy and I love the gardening tips. Thank you Have a Great Day.
Thank you my friend !
Thanks for a simple and clear video!
Thank u this was simple, educational and straight to the point
Great video! Windowsills are good to grow plants that require moderate amounts of light. However, I find indoor grow lights such as LEDs much better if you grow plants like tomatoes, peppers or eggplants indoors.
Thank you for this very interesting and highly educative video
Very good video. To the point, useful information, done. Thanks oodles from this beginner gardener!
Thank you. As a teacher you are amazing
Fantastic indoor gardening tips and advice. Sending lots of love and greetings from Missouri ♡
i learned so mush in 4 minutes thanks man
I dont agree he doesn't say much only what he would like to plant but nothing on how to plant
Excellent video. It's hard growing indoors in an Alberta winter with townhouse windows that rarely see sunlight.
thank you my growing room is very well thanks to this video. very big
❤❤❤best video❤❤❤. The others I saw they talk too fast and i'm still new to this.
Thanks breaking it down for us newbs my dood 🙏
Thank you for this awesome & informative video!!
The time lapses😍
Excellent video Stephen. Have a great day.
Thank you my friend and you too!
Great information Stephen. Have a great evening. Best wishes Bob.
Thank you my friend. So far so good. Hope you are having a good one.
You are amazing 🙌🏽🤗
Great video! Have nice weekend!
Thank you ! Hope you have a restful weekend too !
Well done
I like to use the jobe's fertilizer spikes. Makes my life easier that way
I brought my potted Basil plant in from the garden, with hopes that it would stay green for awhile at least. Some of the leaves did turn brown and die, but I can report that the plant, as a whole, is still producing green growth. So it looks like I will have fresh basil throughout the winter.
That is wonderful. I planted a few basil varieties in this years winter garden :). I can't wait !
Amazing content
I moved to Alberta, trying to do gardening for the 1st time. Too bad you're not making new videos!
Indoor gardens are popular in Colorado.
420 Colorado same with Alaska
I hear California will follow soon :) we here in Canada can expect something similar in the spring :)
Amendment 2 passed in Florida, so we are one step closer to a sensible policy this year!! Of course, legality has never seemed to make any difference to Floridians when it comes to horticulture LOL
Sounds like you are moving in a progressive direction!
good job buddy
Thank you. I am gathering information to have and grow an indoor garden with edible plants. It is a projects that I am working on with my students and myself. Your video and ilustrative explanation has helped me a lot. I subscribe with all my pleasure.
Regards from Venezuela
Great video!!! Subscribed.
nice!
Didn’t really need to watch this because everything you mentioned I had already come across in my research, however there is just something satisfying about watching those little seeds spring up. Great video either way
I’m glad the clips are helpful lol.
Hi there,
If you are one that grows indoor plants, i would recommend to opt for organic, vegan and peat-free compost, as well as organic liquid feed that does not contain sea weed due to radiation in the seas, i believe. Please have a look at this video that i believe it will be of great help ua-cam.com/video/Zklb59V5CeM/v-deo.html
Hydroponic wise, i would encourage to have a look at this video as i believe it will be helpful ua-cam.com/video/XroWLMA5Z7E/v-deo.html
Please Note:
* Food shortage will lead to a civil war in America
* Climate change will lead to Sun-day laws
GOD Bless
💙💙💙
Cool information i like it❤
thank you!
Cool Video Dude! Very informative
Nice video! I am currently growing two patio tomato plants (propagated from my last season mother plant) inside one of my bathrooms with just CFL bulbs. Like you, I like to experiment so I don't mind even if the yield is low. It's amazing how well these plants can actually adapt the new environment. I will keep them growing then propagate from them for outdoor next spring. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Good luck my friend ! It sounds like a lovely winter project ! I bet those spring propagated varieties will do great !
***** Thanks! I hope so too. I usually get a couple of new plants each year but my husband seems to really like the little red tomatoes the mother plant produced. I am hoping we will have enough tomatoes for the three of us over the winter then we will have new suckers for the outside when next spring arrives.
Let me know how that goes! If you enjoy Facebook I have a page for the channel and love to see peoples photos and experiences!
***** I certainly will. I post on your FB page occasionally.
Oh thats great I don't always connect names to user names ;)
I've been growing in a storage room with LED grow lights for a couple of years. Its a great hobby during those cold winter months. Great success with tomatoes, peppers and spices but zero with luck with leafy greens. Absolutely spot on about over-watering, It's my usual problem and I've had fungus problems with plants.. I almost prefer to grow in winter as soil gnats can be a huge pain. LED grow lights aren't that expensive anymore or you can just use small florescent or LED bulbs. The florescent will be a better grow spectrum but generate heat which can be a problem in a small confined space. The LED bulbs(household types, not proper LED grow lights) generate little heat but are set to ONE spectrum so you'll need to get a couple, one 6500k and one 2700k. They are a cheap option but have limited lum output/range.
Pro tip from a houseplant lover who used to have a fungus gnat problem: A diluted mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water, poured into the soil, will kill the fungus gnats and their eggs! Hydrogen peroxide dissociates into water and oxygen so it's completely harmless for edible crops. It can also be used to treat fungus and root rot.
@@eithnemelee2997 thanks for the tip. I have some of that at home.
Thanks
Direct, to the point, keeping things simplistic & inexpensive, great voice...Yep! I'm a new subscriber. Thanks a lot! I do have a question. Which potting soil & compost would you suggest? I'm totally clueless & new to growing anything! Thanks again.
good info 'well done ''
You could use rescue blankets- coated mylar- to reflect light back to the window.
I had bot thought of that. Thanks for the idea.
1:10 this angle is so cute
Growing SPINACHE indoors would be good, you can harvest part of it but leave some leaves so the can still get their sunlight but it will grow back again in a few weeks. Called cut and come again, lettuce varieties also do the same thing💝☺
That's cool. I never heard of that before😁
This video was one of the best videos I've seen. Can you please tell me what did you use to record your audio? It flowed nicely throughout the whole video
PAR spectrum is more important than Kelvin temperature. Spectrum coverage may vary independently from light temperature. "Full spectrum" also isn't precise defined, so you should look for a graph or percentage values specifying how much of the total light output is in the red and blue spectra.
Thank you for your video! It was quite informative. I am celebrating creating my first compost holder (borrowed the idea of using scrap fencing). Hope to fill it soon before the frost/cold gets worse.
I am sure you will ;)
Used coffee grounds make a great compost aswell. Sometimes you can get free used grounds at a coffee store.
I'm turning my "bedroom" into a garden.
Lol haven’t we all done that ;)
So monatooooone.
Sounds like a toon town monster card.
I really like his straightforward delivery
How did you record the panning time lapse? That was very cool!
Awesome idea i need to have a moveable indoor planter for a care home i help in any ideas please and thank you
You can use any rolling table with a light set up. I have seen it in the past. They work wonderfully.
What about growing strawberries in a basic pot indoors during winter? I bought a preset strawberry plant with soil and pot in July. 1 of 3 survived and is doing well, but has not sprouted flowers for it's first crop. During the winter, is there anything I should do to protect the plant from any cold from the window? The sunlight is coming from a slight north west to north east direction. Thanks for your help.
I’m in Michigan we never have sun I have tons of grow lights
Perhaps you can help me understand something I have been stuck on not understsnding. No matter what kind of soil, be it soil-less mixed with other stuff or not, I always wonder if i watered it too much if the soil would rot. With your indoor containers in this video, what do you do to make sure (other than having soilless, of not over-watering and preventing rot or mold in the soil and plants? As a new learner of potting, i have not gotten good enough understanding of this yet to e confident i will not overwater.
Try to not sure hps lighting it can sometimes cause slight burns sepose to LED
Three things
Soil, light, seeds.
Water....???
Conversation? ?
No not important..
@@patrickcrisp9357 vital
He said that over watering can be an issue...
Hydroponic = nutrient water, light and seed.
Ok, does anyone have any tips on this: digging a square and placing the vegetables outside. Will the container keep the veggies organized, or will this cause grow problems outside? I think it qill be fine, but this is day 1 of manic phase where im considering growing peppers.
Hello! I’d like to get some help for my plants. I live in a tiny condo with lots of natural light but no direct sunlight for 9 months a year. Next to a large window I have a little pine, a little lemon tree, some gardenias and many more plants. They’ve survived previous winters, but they get “sad” without sunlight and some of them tend to go long reaching out for light and weak.
Do you think LED grow lights could help? Red lights? How many of them?
Thank you from Buenos Aires!

👍
My mom has sunlight bulbs she uses because she needs more whatever u get from the sun. I wonder if these types of bulbs would work
Hi it's Zachary rykers friend
Hey buddy. How are things ?
next light brand LED veg8 are 190watts and blow t5 8 bulb fixures away in spectrum and power consumption..
Can you share which products you are using in the video?
Hi thanks for this video can you please link to sight items to buy on Amazon or eBay thankyou
Please do a video on how to lower soil PH naturally and free or the cheapest way to do it and how to do it safely. I'd appreciate this because I am thinking of using a urine-ash-bonemeal mix for a fert but I don't want to raise my clay soil's PH anymore. I have chickens and they poop a lot so maybe that will help :D.
I'll take a look into it. That's a great suggestion. Thanks.
What brand of soil and compost do you use?
So I need to switch the 100 watt regular bulb to a LED bulb that I have? I am using a grow tent. I thought the 100 watt would be more like sun light and I would use it 12 hours per day with a small fan running in the grow tent. Is this wrong? Help! I just put the plants in yesterday.
Do you think everbearing strawberries would produce in a south facing window (with hand pollination)? In South Louisiana my Albion produce except for the coldest part of winter and hottest part of summer.
They might but I believe strawberries fruiting is caused by the length of light. Not sure one could replicate that but it's worth a try.
How long does it take to finish
LED doesnt have to be expensive. There are lots of decent LED that wont break the back.
What window do I use if I’m in the middle? Not quite northern and not quite southern?
I'd say the one with the most sunlight. That's what plants needs to grow, and in winter there's not a lot of it so they need everything they can get. Good luck with your garden ! :)
Morgane Baud thank you so much!!! :)
Question- I live in northern BC and during the winter- we don't get a lot of sunlight because it's always cloudy. I planted herbs (from seeds) on a grow mat and they have germinated and doing great. I'd like to put them in my south/west facing kitchen window but I'm concerned about the lack of sunshine. When the sun is out, it's the sunniest place in the house getting all afternoon-evening sun. Will cloudy sunshine be enough?
It is hard to say. It should be but I am even finding I need grow lights to get my plants started and once they are growing they should do fine :)
Canadaheather. I read in another channel that when seeds start to germinate, need 18 hours of light, and after 7-10 days 16 and then 14 hours.
do you mean any rating in between 2100 - 6000K? Like could it be 5000K? or specifically 2100K and 6000K are my 2 best options? And if I like the warmer light of 2100K that is just as good?
I can grow green beans and peas indoors in the window. Also, strawberries. I cannot grow tomatoes.
Can I grow apples? I am not getting many fruit cos pf lockdown.
he sounds like the special occasion phone
hi I am a senior. I wish to grow fresh food in my apartment. I have a set up where I can grow things in a 5ft by 3ft area. I have grow lights and a large window across the front of my grow ares. It is the root area needed to grow these vegs that confuse me. what can I grow in containers that are only 4 inches deep and 6 inches deep 10 and 12 inches deep? I know I know I only need 1 kale plant but how deep does the soil need to be? Lettuce and baby greens need only a few inches but the plants like tiny tomatoes, cucumbers, and other things I might like to try. Right know I grow sprouts, microgreens and pea shoots, but I really want to try other mature plants . Can you help me? thank you for reading this. Barbarajean
You can grow leafy greens and herbs under t5 any other crops you can start but may struggle to get production. There is a playlist on my channel page showing more indoor growing.
Why use soil over aeroponics?
...wab the pot or container I thought that was important!
My plants got small flies in the soil whenever i wanter they fly here and there and they are in big quantayity what should i do?
They are in my kitchen
Spray them and set sticky fly traps
They green plants at my office attract small flies. How to avoid flies from indoor plants?
If they're aphids ( little green bugs) try spraying the plant with water and a little bit of washing up liquid. Worked for me.
I'll try dish washing liquid, thanks a lot.
LED lights are more expensive at first but they use less electricity, so less expensive there
I think my avatar picture says everything
i don t want to grow alot as it first time for me , so advise me how to grow indoor ? whitch lamp is it neeeeeeded! for it???? and give me the link for the seeds to order plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

What about potatoes
Does any LED light works? I'm thinking about buying a lot of LED Stripes and use those
