I'm starting on a project where I'll have a number of indoor spaces to plant in, but each one is just over a foot in each dimension. I'm adding light, but just a series of cheap red/blue LED strips, so anything really light-intensive is probably out. Preferably I'd like to grow useful things, whether fruits, vegetables, herbs, or native (zone 5) wildflowers I can germinate and replant outdoors.

Any thoughts?

    Lettuce and radishes seem promising, but the 1ft ceiling might be too tight for peppers. I'll have to see if there's a very short variety.

    Kratky hydroponics would probably work really well here, and it seems pretty easy.

      You can prune peppers pretty aggressively and they'll still produce! Check out bonchi on reddit for examples of extreme pruning and the pepper in a can challenge on Instagram for more small space pepper growing ideas :comfy: im currently growing some cayenne in a jam jar and the peppers are small, but fine
