Grow Lettuce in Your Living Room Dan Chiras

Grow Lettuce in Your Living Room is a complete guide to growing all kinds of tasty vegetables year-round indoors under LED grow lights primarily via passive hydroponics. It's an amazing resource for soil gardeners, aquaponics growers, and hydroponic enthusiasts. The authors describe four methods of passive hydroponics: one-quart canning jars, plastic buckets, microgreens trays, and self-watering containers. They show you how to get started, what supplies you will need, where to purchase them, the best nutrients, the best lights, how to promote maximum growth, and lots more. One of the most valuable features of this amazing book is the discussion of grow lights. The authors explain why LED lights you use should be color adjusted, that is, fine tuned to meet plants' requirements for red, blue, and green lights.
