Unfortunately, that also means the ROI of growing eggplants is negative, even in year 2+ :-(. Still a great hobby though!

best to use the gardens with built in LEDs! usually windows filter out some of the light so it may not be strong enough.

Very inspiring! My apartment is small so space is always an issue. I have a larger window in the living area and was wondering if possible to switch from natural sun light and the light bulb?
