With working from home dragging on, I’ve been slowly upgrading the room I’ve been using as an office with grow areas. I already had a grow area before on my desk, but now I’ve upgraded it. I bought a 42″ dog crate pan which is 1″ high so I could fill pots and put it on there to catch any run-off watering. Since this is a bigger space, I upgraded the grow light to two HLG QB120’s and added reflective walls on three sides. I debated all four sides but I really wanted to see the grow space and let the light spill into the room. I’m growing micro-dwarf tomatoes, a small banana, and have some flower seeds started to transplant into the space. I also have a larger banana next to the desk. Surprisingly, my micro-dwarf tomatoes by the door just sitting ontop of a bed side table are still going strong (unlike my outdoor ones which blight and cold weather finally did in). And one level of my bookcase has been converted to a seed-starting station, which is cool too.
So overall, as we go into the winter, I’m looking forward to the greener space on my desk and throughout the office room.
