What I'm doing different to grow huge onions. 

Hey everybody, I had fun trying to grow onions after not planting them for so long, but I'm hoping they turn out better than last year's. Either way, it's always exciting to be out in the garden. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.

I put my onions deeper in the soil and 6 to 8 inches apart and they do great and get big grow mostly long day zone 6a

I had a similar problem with onions..just couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong, so I put them aside to concentrate on other things. Still haven’t picked it back up. But I did start growing Egyptian Walking Onions, and I have Multiplying Onions on order. I like the idea of having perennial onions.

You got everything looking real good, one thing I'd absolutely add is some peatmoss, and I also topdress with Dr earth dry ammendments every two weeks. Also if you have clay heavy soil I'd add sand and mix well before planting. Cheers from montana!

It isn't how long the day is, but rather how short the night is. At first thought that sounds like the same thing, but it isn't. Night is always dark, daytime can be bright dim and everywhere in between. They can trick hops to grow in Florida, with low wattage far red lights (Not infrared). Turn on the lights for half an hour around midnight, and the plant is fooled into thinking there are two short nights, instead of one longer one. The lights don't have to be very bright.
