Indoor growing trials
Microgreens, pea shoots, herbs and cuttings grown indoors under a grow light.
SetupWhat I was growing
The materials were simple; the variables weren’t. Light strength and distance, moisture, airflow, seed density, growing medium and timing all change the result.
A change today may only show after several days, and a small difference can compound across a whole tray, so I photographed each stage instead of relying on memory.
ExperimentsWhat I tried
The useful questions were practical: how densely should seeds be placed, when should the tray be uncovered, how does the light change the shape of new growth, and what happens when a cutting moves from water into a growing medium?
- Changing one condition at a time made the results easier to compare.
- Photographs were more useful than trying to remember earlier growth.
- The setup needed to be easy to water and check every day.
