Shaula EvansMy iceplant / Mesembryanthemum Crystallinum has been in its own Kratky pot full of saline for 24 hours now. It's thriving!I am a very happy mad scientist / indoor gardener / space station denizen today. ☺️ 4/n<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/gardening" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gardening</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Iceplant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Iceplant</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/MesembryanthemumCrystallinum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MesembryanthemumCrystallinum</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/IndoorGardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndoorGardening</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Hydroponics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hydroponics</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Kratky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kratky</a>

StargraceI had all my plants in the basement for most of the winter, but we have a sunroom (normally I keep it cold in the winter since it's not used much) and I decided it could be fun to knit / relax in here with the plants (plus easier to maintain, there's no sink for water in the basement.. up and down the stairs is a lot), so I moved them. They seem to be doing ok. ^^ Especially all those bright yellow cucumber flowers, heh.

Shaula EvansI love my little indoor garden. In my isolated life, my plants are my only tactile contact with other living things; they're good for my spirits and mental health.However, I'm not producing food in meaningful quantities. It's a joy-giving hobby, nothing more.If anyone has successful set up indoor gardens to produce significant amounts of food, I would love to hear about what you're doing. My stress would be lower with a bit more food independence.<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/IndoorGardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndoorGardening</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Hydroponics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hydroponics</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Microgreens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microgreens</a>

Tinker ☀️Regarding indoor hydroponics...Most of my power consumption is through my grow lights (still way cheaper to grow than to buy at the grocery store).I've thought about solar panels and batteries etc... but that costs a lot of money (I havent found a non-scam solution - still researching, but let me put this down for a second).So I started thinking... instead of lining my roof or side walls with solar panels to power indoor LED grow lights......why not just install light collectors outside and funnel that light directly into my house and on too of my plants with fiber optics?!?!Basically run cabling through my house to wall literal light sockets. And attach further cabling from there to my plant shelves and setups. I could still have LEDs for augmenting the grow space if needed or during stormy days for example... but even then there is light to be collected. Anyhow!)Turns out other people have the same idea!Here is a gentleman going a into detail on the math and science of it with a DIY project: <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DN8GXTmR6RI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DN8GXTmR6RI</a>There are even some companies that do this!

Serenaanyway, with the fun new fuckery of "maybe your loved ones won't have access to the SNAP benefits they rely on to eat!" in play--I need to get my ass in gear re: indoor gardening since I'm still on the waiting list for a community garden plot. does anyone have resources on indoor gardening and/or hydroponics that they really like and trust? I'm mostly wanting to know about what kinds of supplies (specifically grow lights) to get. I think I'd prefer to grow things in soil because that makes it easier to transplant if/when I do get access to somewhere outside and I know more about how to amend soil, but curious to read more about hydroponic setups as well to see if that might make sense for me.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardening</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/IndoorGardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndoorGardening</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Hydroponics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hydroponics</a>
