Nowadays, it is actually difficult to say which of these two things is more important—free food or naturally clean food. In our times, both are important.

I spoke extensively about growing food at home in 2020: Your Yoga. Home Farming Is Easy

Essentially, I gave you both my practices and my articles for:
  1. Drinking clean water, similar to water found in nature
  2. Breathing clean air even while living in a city
  3. Eating clean food by growing it at home
Of course, you read all these articles long ago at the Veretennikov School.

And that is wonderful :)

Especially the fact that you have, of course, been using all this for the benefit of your health for a long time. This means that your aging has slowed down significantly, and you now look younger than your age.
And now you happily look at your reflection in the mirror...

I will continue improving your life :)

As they say, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then. Some people did not particularly like hydroponics. There is still quite a lot of work involved.

It has its pros and cons.

Things happen more naturally in soil. And lamps cannot replace the real sun...

This leaves only small cups of soil as the growing method closest to nature.

And installing reflectors—to intensify the sunlight.

In essence, it looks like this:
  1. A windowsill on the sunny side.
  2. A cup filled with ordinary natural soil (fertilized).
  3. Mirrored reflectors, preferably a real mirror.
Why cups are convenient:

You can easily change everything.
Following the principle: one is being planted, another is already growing, and in the third you are already harvesting.

All this can be arranged as shelving units. For example, two or three shelving units. But do not make them too narrow or numerous, so that they do not block the sunlight.

If you have two sunny windows in your apartment, that is even better. You will have twice as much produce.

Nowadays, apartment windows are large. The windowsills are wide.

So all of this is a big advantage.

I recommend buying square cups; as you understand, they hold more.

Thank God, soil is still free for now, so I am not joking when I say that all this is basically free.
But if someone is too lazy to dig up soil and go to places where cows have passed by to collect a few cow patties for fertilizer, shops are waiting for you.

You do not need many cups. They are essentially everlasting.

And in general, you can start with just, say, eight cups.

See how it works for you.

There is no need to rush into growing strawberries right away.

You can grow something genuinely practical that provides a feeling of fullness.

High-yield bean varieties, for example, as well as broad beans and peas...

Cucumbers are simply sacred :)

It makes sense to grow something that produces fruit for several months—even cucumbers, for example.

That is, you pick one today and eat it, then more are ready tomorrow, and so on.

Always fresh, just picked from the garden!

Moreover, all of this is constantly blooming for you—you always have spring right in your apartment. That is wonderful....

And here is the important point: you will have to watch at least a few videos on how to grow these plants.

There are many videos on YouTube.

Growing at a summer cottage and growing at home are different.

For example, cucumbers are pinched back so that they do not spread out... and so on.



Moreover, it is not a problem if you travel somewhere, even for months!

There are ways to deal with this too.

Look on YouTube.

There are all sorts of devices available.

You leave for a month and return to find that your harvest is already ripe. How wonderful, right?

In northern regions, there may be some problems during winter. You cannot increase the sunlight enough with a reflector alone. You will have to buy a couple of special grow lights for seedlings.

But that is only in winter. In fact, you can take a break in winter altogether. For at least seven or eight months, everything grows without an additional lamp.

Do not make the mistake of going to a store and buying just ANY seeds.

You need seeds specifically intended for growing by a window—in other words, varieties that produce a more abundant harvest.

1768915876658.png

And do not forget to water them periodically with a potassium permanganate solution, otherwise all sorts of little flies will soon become active.

And I hardly need to tell you that your own cucumbers cannot even be compared with the rubbish sold in stores.

Moreover, this kind of care and closeness—even to a small garden—extends your life, calms your nerves, and makes you kinder....

You never need to buy seeds!

There is a method called cutting propagation.

You simply keep taking cucumber cuttings and planting them.

In other words, from then on, the process is completely free.

There are two types of cutting propagation.

You can choose whichever is more convenient and easier for you.

The first is to place a cutting in a glass of water for a week.
Once roots appear, plant it in soil.

The second is to plant it directly in soil, but cover it with a jar.

Until it develops roots.

After that, everything grows as usual.

Advantages:
  1. Obviously, it’s free.
  2. It’s also faster, since it grows faster than plants grown from seeds.

Everything in Mahapurna School is interconnected, and the training is comprehensive.
Just recently, you studied in the School: RA—which can be touched

And today, this is literally coming into the home.
We continue learning...

So, you can’t avoid the topic I’ve already mentioned to you: humidity in the apartment.

People have become very strange these days.

They are willing to do things for plants that they don’t do for themselves!

Namely, maintain air humidity.

Without the necessary humidity, plants grow poorly.

But the funny thing is that people need it too, and they couldn’t care less about this fact!!!

How interesting it is: this angelic creature comes into a person’s home, and the person begins humidifying the air for this plant.

Amazingly, through this angel, the person benefits themselves as well.

I personally bought several of these humidifiers for next to nothing:

Screenshot_2.jpg

They cost about 70 rubles.

You simply connect one to a smartphone charger and insert it into any jar.

It’s convenient to take with you.

You can find a jar anywhere, and you’ll have a charger with you anyway.

By the way, it cools the air quite well in summer.

Just search for something like "air humidifier" on Ozon, for example, and choose to display the cheapest ones first. Then pick whichever one you like.

They all work on the same principle.

You can use a longer cotton swab, for example, and then place it in a larger jar—it will last much longer.

Cotton swabs are sold separately. Just choose one with the appropriate diameter. They come in different lengths and diameters.

Screenshot_3.jpg

Personally, I find it very convenient.

Instead of expensive, ready-made, bulky solutions, this is exactly what you need!

Direct it at the plants, and both they and you will get more humidity.

Another option is to buy mini greenhouses, like these:

Screenshot_1.jpg

The greenhouse effect is simply PARADISE for plants.

This is what the humidifier I mentioned above looks like.

It weighs a few grams.

It connects via Type-C to any charger.

It usually evaporates 1.5–2 liters of water a day.

It costs next to nothing.

And this is what your cucumber bed could look like in your apartment:

5456232157291418227.jpg

As I said, the square shape is the most economical—it gives plants more soil than a round one.

In winter, you’ll have to use grow lights for plants.

You’ve probably walked down the street more than once and seen windows with purple light.

You’ll be seeing it more often now; people use it for seedlings.

But the thing is, it isn’t very good for your eyes.

It’s outdated technology.

And it affects the nervous system through the eyes.

I REPEAT:

IT HAS ALREADY BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN THAT PURPLE LAMPS ARE UNJUSTIFIED.

Use a regular lamp.

It shines with ordinary white light, not purple light.

And it should be used as supplemental lighting.

That is, there still needs to be sunlight too!

Not so that you keep everything in a box and the plants never see the sun at all...

In that case, it’s better not to grow anything at all—what’s the point...

So, today you’ve learned a simple thing: no more purple lamps.
It has been scientifically proven that, in addition to blue and red, green is also needed. And that is white light.

These are the latest scientific findings!

But.

Regular white lamps also come in different types.

For example, some are warmer, while others are bluer.

You need the bluer ones.

They are more like daylight.

That’s around 5000 kelvins.

Understood?

But you need to turn it off in the evening, since it’s harmful to people before bed or in the evening.

It’s also important to understand that your ceiling light won’t provide much light for the plants.

They need a lot of light—really a lot.

Can you imagine what kind of Beings these are, literally charging themselves with these photons so they can later give them to you through food?

How much light they manage to absorb.

So buying, for example, a lux meter may not be a bad idea.

I talked about it in Eye Health and Computers

That’s the only way you’ll find out how much light there is in your apartment.

And see how cool it is—you grow plants, and along the way you gain new knowledge about lux and so on. :)

There are currently discussions about making it possible to plant something once and then have a constantly fruiting and flowering plant at home.

That would be fantastic.

In other words, you wouldn’t need to keep planting, either from seeds or by taking cuttings...

Chat GPT, as always, with a sense of humor:

The cucumber will still leave you after 3–6 months, even if:
  • warmth,
  • light,
  • perfect care,
  • even if you have heartfelt conversations with it and sing secret mantras to it every day.
With good care at home:
  • 3–5 months of active fruiting
  • sometimes up to 6–7 months, if the variety is a good one and the conditions are ideal
  • then the harvest gets smaller, the leaves age, and the plant “runs out of steam.”
Be like a Zen master—don’t cling to the old; let the cucumbers go if that’s what they want.

The cucumber is a fast, generous, but short-lived guest.
It arrives, bears fruit, and leaves gracefully.

So how many cucumbers can you actually harvest from one plant in 6 months?

Excellent conditions (supplemental lighting + fertilizing)
60–100 cucumbers


An important point (many people get this wrong)

👉 Cucumbers need to be picked frequently
If even 1–2 fruits become overgrown, the plant “decides” that its mission is complete and decides to leave for Nirvana.

Small ones, 8–10 cm, are gold.

What strongly affects the final number
  1. Variety — determines more than half the success
  2. Pot — at least 10–12 l, preferably 15–20
  3. Light — without light, you’ll get 10–15 cucumbers and resentment toward karma
  4. Nutrition — the cucumber eats like a hungry yogi after a retreat
  5. Harvesting — the more often, the more you get
The honest conclusion

One cucumber plant at home over 6 months—
it’s not “a couple of salads”, but a full-fledged vegetable stream,
provided you don’t interfere with its life by lecturing it, and water it and cut off ripe fruits like good karma.

And there is one special feature of plants grown at home—they are the tastiest and most aromatic! Whether they are cucumbers or tomatoes. And what joy they bring: watching them grow!

I’d like to recommend one channel: A Vegetable Garden in an Apartment

There are many different channels, but this one is, so to speak, closer to real life.

It’s simply how it is—how it could be for you too. No embellishments, just an ordinary setup, for personal use, without sugarcoating.

EVERYTHING grows.
Even watermelons and melons.

Anyway, I singled out this channel because I happened to come across it.

Om Shanti, thank you for the channel "A Vegetable Garden in an Apartment." The guy grew excellent cucumbers in his apartment and showed the Full House hybrid. It caught my interest: there are lots of cucumbers, the plant is short and compact. I’ll buy these seeds and try growing them at home too.

There’s a small cellar in our apartment where we store potatoes and onions. Well, the onion somehow manages to grow even in complete darkness, through the mesh (although yellow shoots grow instead of green ones). No water, no light—and every time I go down there, a new bulb has sprouted)
I carefully take it out so the shoots don’t get damaged by the mesh and replant it in a container with soil so it can continue growing.
Post automatically merged:

Why am I telling you this? I’ve decided to fill the entire windowsill with various shelves and pots in spring, too. I’ll start by planting onions, dill, cucumbers, and tomatoes. In summer, I’ll make a photo report on the work I’ve done.

Огурцы на балконе отлично растут если солнечная сторона, можно в общие длинные такие горшки-корытца сажать. Они же лианы, оплетают все, красиво получается. Если высаживать не все одновременно, а с перерывом, то получится длительное плодоношение. Если не хочется часто срывать то можно попробовать китайские сорта которые вытягиваются в длину но не перезревают. Только если балкон закрытый а сорта пчелоопыляемые то будет проблема с опылением, тогда нужны сорта для которых не нужны насекомые опылители.

Все малыши такие милые! Маленький росток с большими планами. - До потолка.🙂 Мой гибискус Карнавал шепчет, что скоро даст первый бутон и устроит цветочный бал.😀 Огурцу уже отправлено приглашение!🪷🪷🪷

IMG_20260227_180113.jpg


Из его цветков заваривают чай, что тоже является едой.

О, чай из гибискуса, он же каркаде, он же "напиток фараонов".

Если о свойствах, без шуток (но почти):

1. Витаминная бомба?

В цветках растения гибискус много витамина C. То есть Вы пьёте чай, а иммунитет такой: "О, подкрепление пришло!".

2. Антиоксиданты?

В нём куча антоцианов — тех самых веществ, которые делают чай рубиновым. Они помогают бороться со свободными радикалами. Проще говоря, это внутренняя охрана, которая защищает клетки от стресса и говорит старению: "Извините, вас нет в списке".

3. Снижает давление?
О да! Один глоток — и Вы уже не просто сидите в кресле, а плавно парите над ним. Гипотоники, осторожнее: после третьей чашки Вас может унести сквозняком.

4. Холестерин?
Выводит "плохой" холестерин, в смысле не из себя, а из организма.

5. Освежает и бодрит без кофеина?
Да! Наконец‑то напиток, который не будет кричать вам в ухо в 11 вечера: "ВСТАВАЙ, БЕГИ, ДОСТИГАЙ!" Он просто шепчет: "Расслабься, дружище, завтра тоже будет день".

6. Мочегонный эффект?

О, это как кнопка "сброс" для организма. Выпил — и лишние литры воды сами собой испаряются. Правда, лучше не пить его перед долгой прогулкой в минус 50.

7. Для пищеварения?
Есть данные, что гибискус может мягко поддерживать метаболизм. Это не значит, что Вы выпили кружку — и пресс как у фитнес-блогера. Но это уже шаг ближе к "ем что хочу и ты погляди - живой".

8. Антимикробное действие?

Гибискус — это натуральный санитар. Он заходит в организм и командует бактериям: "Эй, тут вам не курорт. В итоге – плохие парни либо уходят, либо теряют боевой дух".

9. Косметология?
Заморозили чай в кубики — и вот Вы уже не просто умываетесь, а проводите спа‑процедуру с ароматом Древнего Египта. Кожа после этого такая свежая, что коллеги начнут спрашивать: "Вы что, в отпуск летали?".

10. Просто вкусно?
Он кисло‑сладкий, как отношения после ссоры: сначала "ой, что я наделал", потом "ну ладно, прощаю". Идеально для романтического вечера… особенно с фруктами и ягодами — ощущение, будто лето случайно попало в кружку.

Как заваривать?
Кидаете гибискус в воду, ждёте 5 минут, пьёте и мечтаете о солнце и море.

В общем, каркаде — это как добрый друг: полезный, вкусный, иногда слишком активный, но если знать меру, с ним точно не соскучишься!

Ого,так рано вы посадили,уже несколько листиков настоящих выросло..скоро урожай будет.
А я ещё только думаю,когда сеять семена буду.:):):)

Обратила внимание, семена огурца у Ом Шанти сорта Трюкач. В плодоношение данный гибрид вступает спустя 40-42 дня🚀 с момента полных всходов. Это же очень быстро! Листочки мы увидели, подумать только, всего лишь через месяца полтора можно будет уже есть свои 🥒🥒🥒. Выписала семена, по Вайлберис дешевле, тоже посажу. И 🍅 чери выписала. В общем, тоже в эксперименте!😉 Впервые. Настроилась на урожай. 🥰

Ну что, Вы конечно же не упускаете время и тоже что-то выращиваете?
Или тоже не дано? Или как там ещё, ах да... не судьба...

Как Вы все хорошо знаете, сейчас в Школе Веретенникова идёт древнеегипетская тема.
Всё взаимосвязано, все темы Школы.
Упуская что-то - упускается всё.

И слово судьба - имеет два слова: Суд Ба.
Ба - это Душа.

Радует Ваш урожай! :) (y)
Я бы сказала, что Ваши огурчики растут быстрее, чем "просто посажены".
Я посадила свои на неделю позже. Окно кухни на восток. Правда не накрывала, не создавала тепличный эффект.
У меня трейтий листик только появился. Наверное нужно начинать с ними разговаривать. :)
