Vegetables?

I have some extra space and am thinking of growing some peppers and maybe try a tomatoe plant.. not sure how it would do indoors organically under 400w MH. I transplanted some basil which i had outside and so far it loves the light... Anyone else do this?

Hell yeah, hahaha. I set up a cab to grow, then never did, and just grew some tomatos and peppers instead. They came out really really good. I gave them some guano and and some maxicrop and molasses and they came out better than store bought vegetables. But you should probably google it and find guides to do it, just like with the weed.

I really want to grow some of those "blue java" banana plants. They have the taste and texture of vanilla ice cream. Was thinking about buying a dwarf tangerine plant for indoors too.

actually i remember reading once if you plant basil in the same area as tomatoes it changes the tomato taste.. Now i am growing basil, tomatoes and peppers in with my 5 NL plants... Hmmmm

Interesting... i just read this on the net..

Basil has long been grown as a companion to tomatoes. Allegedly, the Basil is supposed to improve the flavor of the tomatoes.

Not that i want my weed to taste like basil..

another.... When interplanted, basil is said to improve the taste of tomatoes and peppers, as well as repelling hornworms and aphids.

Just a side note here. I would have filled that space with a lil more NL.

well, i had 10 seeds.. i sprouted 5... hope i get 3 females.. 4 would be better but thats all i want under my 400w.. i dont really really care about the veg's they can scramble for light on the edges of my grow space.. probably will be fine for them... When i get clones I will try a scrog.. but since its my first grow i want to veg for 8 weeks to see how the plants grow.
