subject: What To Grow In Your Indoor Grow System [print this page] Indoor Grow Systems are becoming more and more popular. The ability to not only increase the yield of plants but to grow them anywhere has been the cause of the sudden flux. The hard question is, what do you grow? For the most part when picking out what vegetables to grow you should look at what your family prefers to eat. This ensures that what you are growing will be eaten which is really the most important thing to remember. Some plants do better than others in their Michigan hydroponics systems and we are going to talk about what they are and why they seem to love the conditions of an indoor grow system so much.
To start us off is tomatoes. You want to start these as transplants instead of seeds as it will ease the initial growing conditions. It is recommended that you use disease resistant varieties and use a stake to maintain an upright position for the best results. You will need to set up an indoor grow system that moves a feeding solution through the roots 4-6 times a day as well as increase the temperature during the day and lower it at night. When the time comes to pollinate, simply shake the stems with blossoms gently.
Next are peppers which, like tomatoes, like warm growing conditions. There are a few ideal varieties among the sweet and hot peppers such as cubico, mazurka, Narobi, Fellini, gold flame, jalapeno, habanero, and cayenne. The light and temperature requirements are the same for peppers as it is for tomatoes except for the best results you should raise the night time temp and lower the day time temp.
Last we have lettuce. For the best results start the lettuce in flats or in individual containers. Some good choices of variety are Boston, Black-seed Simpson, bibb or buttercrunch leaf lettuce. Lettuce needs a lot of light. You can get your choice of growlights in Michigan. Unlike tomatoes and peppers, lettuce prefers a cooler environment set at 75 degrees during the day and 55 degrees at night.
Its important to remember that these are just a few types of vegetables that can be grown well using hydroponics supplies. Just about any garden vegetable, from radishes to celery, can grow is this contained environment. Root vegies like potatoes or turnips should likely be avoided as they are much more difficult to grow and dont taste or look much different than they do from the grocery store.
Michigan Hydroponics is a booming industry that will shape the future of agriculture. Not all plants flourish when grown in these indoor grow systems but most can and some, such as tomatoes, grow even better than could be imagined. The simplicity of the system and the ability to grow crops in literally any environment is going to push this technology fast and quick.
