Gardeners of slrpnk! I would like to start growing some food in my apartment and I am trying to figure out what would be some good options to meaningfully provide food that I would regularly eat. I don't mind adding some energy efficient grow lights if necessary, since I have limited light available. What are some of your favourite foods to grow indoors?

Leafy greens tend to do ok indoors and I've also grown peppers indoors. You'll need to supplement the soil if not using indoor potting soil. Any plant that doesn't self pollinate will need some help (gently shake the plant to spread pollen). Of course nothing beats mother nature so if you have a balcony or some type of open space time out in the sun will help.

I bet there are some 420 experts that can provide true pro tips.
