The back of my house faces EAST but we normally keep the blinds up most of the time in the house. The blinds are all white color.
I'm looking on making a small AP system but would like to know what plants can grow in indirect light?
Also how well do plants that take full sun handle indirect light? Will they die or just have slow growth? I don't have bay windows
I am in a Zone 6a region. Day temps now are ~+3C - +8C day and ~-2C - -10C at night outside. I plan on having my AP inside till temps are stable and warm enough at night to move it outside. I will be building a 6 x 8' greenhouse then (via a alum/plastic kit).
Thanks in advance for the help.
EDIT:
I currently have the following in my mini greenhouse grown in peat pellets:
-Roma tomatos x 2 (now ~2.5in tall)
-Tiny Tim tomatos x 2 (now ~4in tal)
-Marigold x 1
-Rosemary x 1
-Basil x 1
-and I think one more Marigold tho I didn't label some stuff :o:mad::(
The Tiny Tims are poking lot of tiny root tips out of the peat right now. I've given them a bit of chemical fertilizer before I think 10-52-10 (52 I know for sure) as the fert was for strong root development but I started everything a bit too early given our Canadian temps.
Yes I know when I transfer to the AP system I will need to rinse the roots good before putting it in so the least amount of chems transfers to the water.
