How Do You Grow Tomatoes Indoors With Lights?
If you find organically grown tomatoes to taste better than store-bought ones, then try growing them indoors. Indoor growing prevents animals and weather from harming plants, and allows you to have fresh tomatoes year-round. Harvesting tomatoes inside is perfect if you live in the city and are short on gardening space. Besides providing fresh vegetables, indoor tomato plants cleanse your household air and improve the aesthetics of your indoor space. Choose a crack-resistant variety of tomatoes to grow, since these varieties do better indoors under lights. Decide where you will grow the tomato plants. Indoor tomato plants require temperatures in the 70s during the day, and the 60s during the night. Germinate the tomato seeds by planting them in peat pots filled with seed-starter mix. Plant two to three seeds in each pot, about 1/4-inch deep into the soil, and keep the pots under fluorescent lights for 18 hours per day. Keep the start mix damp, but not soggy, and wait a week for the seed
