>>2449657I'd start with indoor pots and grow lights. Less you need to think about initially, and once you get used to dealing with different grow lights for different crops you'd be able to then go from that to hydroponics (and mostly focus on just the water part of the hydroponics rather than having to think too much about lighting as well).
>>2449669If the tips of your rosemary leaves are turning brown it's most likely overwatering, that's usually the early symptoms of it. I would probably just be patient with it, you could try take a cutting of it and rooting that in some water then planting that out if you really want.
We have a rosemary plant which is similar to yours in that it is planted in soil that isn't ideal (just generic potting mix that retains a fair bit of water), initially it was getting the brown tips that you mentioned due to excess water but we just put it under the awning of our house so it barely gets any moisture from rain + never water it ourselves. Been fine since then, still gets brown tips occasionally as it's winter here and it still gets some environmental moisture, but the plant is growing well enough.
>>2452661I assume you're the guy I'm replying to above so rip. If you're near the end of your growing season I would probably just keep them in the current soil, given you're bringing them inside you'd be able to control how much moisture they get over the cooler months. Transplanting is a shock to plants so it's best to do when you'll have some nice weather for them to recuperate/grow in.
Also fyi regarding rosemary - as mentioned above you can grow from cuttings, apparently this is the main way they're usually grown. So if you know of any large publicly accessible healthy rosemary plants nearby you could sneakily take a few cuttings and try root them (just google how to do it, I've never done it before). Or if any friends/family have one grab cuttings from them.
