i'm working on an indoor system with a 325 liter fish tank. i'm still working out the amount of pumpkinseed sunfish i need, and how much grow bed to match them. as i'm growing them indoor i'll have less direct sunlight available, it'll be placed near a window. i was thinking of growing, lettuce and herbs for a major part but what species can be grown inside without grow lights? |

Go for leafy greens as they will have the best chance, things like lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, arugula, endive, radicchio, kale, mustard, cabbage and bok choi can survive on 2 hours sunlight per day. I wouldn't bother with anything that fruits. |

thanks, leafy greens it is, any tips on good choices for a new system. (since some greens are more demanding in nutrition) |

A few I have had success with indoors: - Bok choy 'Joi Choi' - Green lettuce varieties with a compact growth habit (i.e. butterhead, Muir, oakleaf) - Spearmint - Swiss chard - Kale - Basil - Shungiku (chrysanthemum greens) - Green mizuna / mustard - Minutina Out of these, the best growers by far have been Joi Choi, green lettuce, chard, and minutina. I have also been experimenting with strawberries indoors under grow lights within a small (20gal) media bed system. So far the results have been fairly promising, but I will need to further refine my methodology. |
