I already had a grow area before on my desk, but now I&#8217;ve upgraded it. I bought a 42&#8243; dog crate pan which is 1&#8243; 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&#8217;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&#8217;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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So overall, as we go into the winter, I&#8217;m looking forward to the greener space on my desk and throughout the office room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With working from home dragging on, I&#8217;ve been slowly upgrading the room I&#8217;ve been using as an office with grow&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gardening"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.briancbecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.briancbecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.briancbecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.briancbecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.briancbecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1669"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.briancbecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1669\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1672,"href":"http:\/\/www.briancbecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1669\/revisions\/1672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.briancbecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.briancbecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.briancbecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
