Unless you can smoke those ‘tomatoes’ or get stoned making ‘brownies’ from them, you have no worries.

  1. I use compact fluorescent bulbs.

  2. do you use grow lights or regular lights?

  3. “when was the last time i was technical?” A ft 1:50 when you talked about nitrogen lockout lol 😉

  4. you are such fun and so helpful, I am going to try indoor tomatoes too this year. Many Thanks.

  5. id recommend buying seeds from a reputable company because store bought….especially tomatoes are usually picked before they’re ripened, then gassed…I think apples are probably the worst since they’re covered in wax, but you cant go wrong with organic gala :) Short story long…I’d go with a seed company because who knows what kind of crap the farmer used on those store bought ones. I bought some organic garlic to plant from the store, but garlic is pretty much cut and dry.

  6. Thanks…I’m new to this sort of thing and with the long frozen winter ahead its nice to see some greenery indoors

  7. You can just remove the seeds and plant them. They’ll grow. But yes you can let them rot and save the seeds that way as well.

  8. I have some soon to spoil store bought cherry tomatoes that instead of throwing out I want to use to grow more indoors.An article I read mentioned leaving some cherry tomatoes in a newspaper to spoil for a few days, then putting them in a pot covered with soil to grow.
    Will this set-up work.
    I have bags of ( black ) earth ready to use for growing.

  9. I see you are using a tubberware container for your dirt. lol I don’t have any dirt inside, except for what’s in my plants. But, I thought that was kind of funny. Being I was raising a bunch of plants in mine outside. I have a tomatoe plant I am growing right now inside. I am glad I came upon this video. I just hope mine will be as nice as yours. (But, I won’t hold my breath) :o)

  10. Great channel Ray:) I subscribed and I’m looking forward to watching the rest of your channel. Thank you for all you do and all you teach your viewers. I love to cook and completely agree with your use of natural ingredients. All the elderly folks living into their 90’s and beyond ought to tell us something about the good ole days;)
    

  11. I go with price. I buy my bulbs from a site called 1000 bulbs.com.

  12. Is there any particular brand you’d recommend?

  13. I’d use a 400 watt output CFL.

  14. If you were to use a grow light for these tomatoes, which would you use?

  15. I have tried all those tapping… No Fruit..

  16. Tap the flowers a few times daily. This will pollinate them. Unpollinated flowers will just drop off the plant.

  17. i hav lots and lots of tomato flowers, but it is not producing any tomatoes, what should i do? help please!!

  18. illegeal? weridos? sorry i speak english.

  19. Ray dosen’t grow illegeal things like you. Only crazy weridos who do illegal things do!

  20. just waiting for your cannabis growing videos!!!!!

  21. Filming starts tomorrow. It should be processed and uploaded by the end of the weekend.

  22. It’s an oak ivy. They grow to be monsterous! :)

  23. what is the plant behind you in this video?

  24. Thanks for the info! I wonder if I can do that the same thing with sugar snaps. I have hybrid sugar snaps my daughter is going to try growing indoors. We will see what happens. =) Thanks, Ray!

  25. It’s legal. Only certain plants are not allowed to be grown indoors. Here is a comprehensive list:

    -Marijuana

  26. while not illegal,may raise suspicions……they can use infra-red cameras to see the heat in ya house and the light bills too…..be careful……….

  27. nope…but you might raise some suspicion if your power usage spikes.

  28. No, not tomatoes. Don`t forget about fresh air.

  29. It’s not illegal to grow plants indoors, ever see the infomercials for those junk kitcehn counter top hydro systems? It’s not illegal to grow tomatoes indoors, it is illegal to grow pot indoors which it sounds like is waht you are doing. DON”T DO IT!!!! As for the lighting your talking about that’s not very much lighting, you can’t grow anything with that little light. Also, a normal desktop computer takes about the same power as a 1000 watt light so that little bit of light your using woudln’t cause any suspicion. Also, cops aren’t allowed to use heat sensors randomly drivng around enighborhoods, they have to have probably cause.

  30. Why would you think that? they only plants that you can’t grow, in doors or out, are illegal ones to begin with like mar******na

    you might want to put them on the floor instead of the shelf since tomato plants can get rather tall.

  31. Police cant use sensors to detect the heat coming from the house. And why in world would tomatoes plants be illegal.

  32. No, tomatoes are not illegal, lol. They probably raided the house that was growing xmas trees because trees are big and its against some ordinance.

  33. Of course you can grow tomatoes indoors. But not everything. And yes, police can and do use thermal imaging to see whether or not you are farming large amounts or hemp.

  34. No, it’s not illegal. Many people grow plants indoors.
