Happy to see the gardening sub pop up, and want to facilitate some discussion. So ask me anything you're curious about. I might not know the answer outright, but can help troubleshoot stuff too.

    Oh another rule of thumb too: flowering and fruiting are the most energy intensive life stage of a plant, so an indoor garden should focus on plants that are used for their vegetative parts. That's why herbs are so nice. We don't generally use herbs for their reproductive parts, but simply for their vegetative parts. Light levels required for reproductive parts like flowers, fruits, nuts, and seeds won't likely be adequately achieved with simulated light conditions. Mint, cilantro, basil, oregano, parsley, chives, rosemary. Those are the ticket for an indoor gardener.
