hi i want to know how to indoor farm?

Answer -
Hi Curtis,
Your very short question/comment covers a very large subject.  I do not have a large garden indoors, but I have maintained peppers and herbs, spinach, and hoping to keep tomatoes producing.  Bean sprouts, etc. are fairly simply as well.  I do start many of my plants indoors in the late winter.
Just have a nice sunny window, deep enough pots, and plant the seeds according to the directions on the package.  Many packages have directions for starting seeds indoors, then it's just a matter of space, sun, and water.  I do not recommend those "potting mixtures," but rather top soil with some natural fertilizer and either rocks or sand in the bottom of the pot for drainage.
There are hydroponic methods, of which I know nothing about, but I do know that affords indoor tomatoes, etc.  You might search that option.
I wish you well in your endeavor.
Kind Regards,
Kindred

Dear Curtis,
It really is just a matter of big enough pots and good sunlight.  Don't over fertilize and make sure there is gravel and some sand in the bottom of the pots for good drainage.  You will probably want to stake the tomatoes when they get about 18" high and let them "grow into" the stakes.  Those can be obtained at most any nursery and a number of hardware stores.  This is the time to find real bargains on gardening things, so hurry on out.  I personally would start with smaller tomatoes like Roma or some early producers, as they tend to be smaller plants and as far as peppers go, jalapenos are good to grow indoors, but most peppers plants are fairly small.  One thing to note, they will probably not produce as quickly as outdoor plants, but with proper water and light, I think you will find it to be a rewarding experience.  If you get started now, you just might be enjoying tomatoes by New Year's.

Dear Curtis,
How much light do you have in your basement?  Temperature not withstanding, light is usually an issue for indoor planting.  If you have enough light in your basement, then make sure it doesn't get below freezing.  If you are going to add grow lights or something, then add heat, also, if needed.

what kind of lights do i need to get because i got not much light in my basement.thanks for the advice.curtis archer

Answer
Dear Curtis,
My very first response to you mentioned good lighting.  Perhaps you need to begin your "indoor farming" quest with a bit of more fundamental research.  Since you have decided to use your basement to grow vegetables, I would suggest you research that category of gardening.  My area of expertise is organic gardening and I adhere to the Holy Scripture to do so.  I think your area of need is now out of my area of expertise.
Kind Regards,
