Hey all. The price of fruits, vegetables, herbs and such have been getting higher in price since the price of gas and such is getting higher so I figure that I will get into growing some of my own things but I will be starting out small. So sit down with your freshly grown herb tea or enjoy some of your own home grown stuff and enjoy.

Subbed! lets see what "the little setup that could" can do!
I have to agree. I was going to do it out side but the weather here is messed up so I chose indoors. It also gives me the ability to go upwords with growing instead of having to grow outwards.

So what you gonna be growing CarbonX?
IYou will have to wait to see its a surprise yet. ;)

I have to agree. The cost to get it up and running at the start is alot but in the short and long run it will be like chump change. I plan on starting as much of the things that I can get by seeds because the cost of the plants them self already growing will cost around $5 each but alot of seeds cost in a single pack only cost $2 to $4 each.

Thanks McPurple. I remember some stuff that I learned in school along time ago about what plants need but also I checked out grow journals for the past year to see what I will need to have an indoor garden that has a chance of producing compared to just buying seeds or plants then trying to start growing them with half ass setup and can't afford it a properly.

I forgot to add a few things to the list of things that I bought but it comes to a little over $600. I figured that I should also buy some stuff to go hydro if I chose to try it out to.

Looks like a great start bro, cant wait to see some of these veggies in bloom :smile:
Thanks. I can't wait to have some fun and give people an idea on what they can do indoors but also it will be very nice to be even more part of the groupe of veg/herb/fruit heads.

was it you that had all the different types of mints?
Nop. I have a question for you though. When cloning herbs do you have to put them under a humid dome or can they be cloned just by cutting a sprig off and planting it into soil?

i wonder where the mint man went then.

any way as to your question well ive have never really tried to grow mint, it seems to grow its self at my house wildly. but i would think a bit more humidity would help it root, maybe just try a few both ways and see what works best, my bets are on the humid dome though

Ok thanks. I was thinking that a humid dome would be a safe move to do. I never said that I will be growing mint. :P
