I didn’t do it to save money. In fact growing my own tomatoes and chili’s cost more that it saved.
I grew chili’s inside a greenhouse with growlights and outside to test the difference. Inside the greenhouse was over 30C every day and they had 10h of light per day while outside was much more variable and lower on average.
The ones from the greenhouse were so spicy that I could barely eat them.
It was a fun project and I’ll definitely do it again.

Checkout Aerogarden and their knockoffs. So idiot proof and self-contained.
I have a brown thumb and these things make me look like an expert.
Cool! I’ve essentially made that myself. I’ve also ordered custom grow light PCBs and SMD leds from China and designed my own pump system.
It was quite an elaborate project and some day I’ll put it all online. Not sure where to share such projects though.
