Ive grown all of them indoors. The problem is that they arent worth the light you spend on them. And they grow outside better. Jalepenos, now theres a good dwc plant!

i can totally see that from a cost perspective. we grow all 3 outdoors last year, i didn't realize that is what cucumbers were suppose to taste like. I think I'm going to try with led panels. what did you use?

1k hps. Or smaller hps. Herbs do ok inside but you need great growing conditions to compete with outdoor growing results, with any heavy fruiting plant. Most of the stuff ive done in dirt is inferior. Water grows though always seem to be on par with store bought produce. I have carrots going right now in dirt. A few months in, i have a feeling theyll be good, because even if they come out as carrot straws, theyll still be tasty.

I've seen and tasted great results from people doing leafy greens like spinach, lettuce, chard and kale in hydro under lights. Never liked the way hydro tomatoes tasted though. Pepper do well I door in dirt or hydro. I have a buddy that turned his whole basement into a produce farm lol..
