Thanks for the laugh. I giggled at this because I HATE to kill anything and have felt the need to plant them all. I hope this year I am over it! I think we can find the flowers good homes (lol) but in the middle of veggie season when you are over run with zucchini and those tomatoes you just couldn't kill. Yeah. That. And that's AFTER you can. Tee hee. Plant people...

keep growing girl. doing a fine job. You'll have to go thru the growing pains/lessons of indoor grow yourself. but will be lessons well learned. Yes humidity is an issue. You should have an indoor temperature/humidity gauge to monitor the room. As the plants grow, they will give off more humidity through transpiration. You have to change out the air every few hours with outside. Not talking outside to the rest of your house. But out of the house. Otherwise youre asking for trouble with mold. Vapor barrier is great for increasing humidity, but has draw backs. Watch your corners where the vapor barrier from each side meets. Those are dead spots. I kept 4 fans 1 for each corner to move the air in a circular direction. Mold grows quickly there. The other problem with vapor barrier is it cuts off with carbon dioxide/CO2 that you produce that plants thrive on. Other than when you are working in the room. May consider a CO2 generator/tank on timer for feeding. You'll figure it out. happy growing on your journey

Nicole! You are my spirit animal. 😂 I do the things, lots of things, and big things. When I saw your thrip problem video, I WANTED to write my prediction .... Nicole will build a greenhouse INSIDE her house or basement SOON, like within days! I knew it! I would do the same. Thank God for your wonderful in-laws. Right now my dining room is my little greenhouse. Guess what I see in my future? My husband can see the writing on the (future greenhouse) walls! You go girl!

I picked up a plant from the grocery store. There must be 9 or 10 stems...all very leggy. Having that fragrance in my kitchen is helping me with my spring fever. Headed outside next to bring out my patio furniture, maybe some pots too. I know, we 4b people have several weeks before we can enjoy sitting outside. (Minneapolis here.)

I was totally going to make a Dexter comment! I immediately thought about mold issues before I saw that airflow will circulate around it. Very nice and very clever. Though you can buy 6 ml clear Plastic at Walmart. Paint Drop Cloth (Plastic). 12' x 4' for $5. Save the Good Green House Plastic for Poly Tunnels! Etc. But look at you! Our little Flower Girl is evolving so fast. She'll be getting planting and moving into a Greenhouse of her own before you know it. Then we will here the pitter patter of dripping water from the little baby seedlings everywhere. I'm so proud. :)
