I’ve been wanting to grow tomatoes and peppers indoors, but don’t know what light setup to use, can you offer any advice? I rent, and don’t have any outdoor area (my balcony faces North).

My neighbor just hung hers in front of a window and let natural sun do it. I don’t really know indoor lighting thought, so will be reading other answers with interest.

I rent a townhouse & have no garden area whatsoever. I just bought the long uv lights & I have them sitting sideways pointing toward the plants...I also have tinfoil behind the plants for extra reflection. I’m growing beans, cucs, cauliflower, & peppers. Another thing that I failed with the first time around, was the need for pollination. Now I take a qu-tip & touch the flower of one plant to the flower of another to cross pollinate. I also have a fan blowing very lightly on the plants to help them pollinate each other.
