I always have a "WAY TOO MUCH" garden, so this year I quadrupled it.
Will start my indoor grow next week, with 100 Better Boy tomatoes, 100 tomatillas, 100 TAM jalapenos, and 100 Yolo bells.
My rows are 150' and will have a row of Gold Rush yellow zucchini, a row of Midas 2 straight neck yellow squash, A row of red potatoes, 2 rows of 1015 onions, a row of Blue Lake greenbeans,. a row of DSI greenbeans, A row of Eureka cucumbers, a row of Super 45 cantaloupes, a a row of Mississippi purple brown crowder peas, a row of Jubilee watermelons, and a row of a melon developed by my grandfather that is a orange meat melon....been saving these seeds for years.
After I pull my onions, I'll follow them with my okra.
Been growing this stuff for years, just expanding since I found a buyer.

If the light is too high, the stems will be thin, as the plants will 'reach' for the light, but if you keep the light low and close, the stalks will be thicker and stronger.
I guess if you can keep heat coming from the bottom, the roots and the stalk will be more robust.
