Possibly worth bringing up this post again - I have two raised garden beds and intermix plants, with an eye not to put competetive plants or plant enemies close to each other. I find the plants are bigger, healthier and support each other, providing shaded soil and leaves, and planting closely provides weed suppression. Given that I'm in a hot dry climate, it makes sense. Plant further apart when you need to catch every ray. I find that I have fewer pests when I plant like nature and less like a clinical trial. It It's no good for commercial or large scale, but feeds hubby and I to repletion. Herbs, flowers and veg, all intermixed. When something goes or is harvested, I feed that area and put compost and/or manure there and plant in something else that would likely follow if I were doing rotation. Rows just give the caterpillars and slugs a good 'Roman Road' to follow, munching all the way! Intermixing brings all the predatory species that clear up the pests right into the area that they're wanted instead of being somewhat close-ish. It works for me in my area!

the plants you mentioned do not transplant well I would direct sow

From my understanding determinate versus indeterminate firstly refers to growth, shape and size and only then to production. In other words growth stops at a genetically pre-determined hight and structure achievement (although there is a clear correlation between both features, ). Generally speaking, determinate tomatoes grow more bushy and less high and should be more productive for a single, (hopefully) larger harvest. That doesn't mean they wouldn't make a few more lateral shots and produce more when kept longer under good conditions. If the behavior of a so called determinate is clearly indeterminate, - it's most likely that it simply is falsely called determinate ;-)

Yes it can be used, however keep in mind that feeding 400 watts into a 150 watt bulb will shorten its life. You will also need a mogul to medium reducer socket as the lamp you linked uses a E26 socket which is smaller then the standard E39 used in higher wattage high intensity discharge lamps. https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/5840/ELEC-242515.html Piece of advice from a very experienced indoor grower, get the 400 watt version at minimum. Youll be disappointed with the 150 watt, slow growth and no canopy penetration, small footprint, etc The most efficient HID in terms of lumens per watt is the 600 watt high pressure sodium. I stricly use 600w hps, 1000w hps and 1000w metal halide lights, anything smaller doesnt grow much...
