Do you have any East, Southeast, and South facing windows?
I think the only way would be a widowsill garden.

if you just want a simple garden you dont need to grow your seeds inside

that stuff is for maximizing yield, but you arent going to sell your produce on an enterprise level, right?

yes, should grow fine if temps are fine, the soil fits the right parameters and you dont have any frost.

dont forget to dig out weeds as they are one of the more important things to watch out for during the germination period

>are there any options
You can buy propagation domes on Amazon for relatively cheap, and they come with their own lights. Good for seed starting, as well as various herbage.
>how did they used to do it in old times
They didn't. Northern latitude agriculture mostly consisted of growing hardy, shelf-stable vegetables that could last for months. The rest would have been preserved through turning it into jam, or fermenting it.

The other anon seems to be deterring you from growing stuff indoors, though, which is a bit odd. You could definitely grow stuff solely indoors, but your options will be inherently limited, and it is inefficient if you're trying to grow any sizeable amount.

If you don't live in the subtropics, forget about getting any good yield from

Not once has the fucking word "latitude" been uttered, nor is anyone talking about which cardinal direction (north, south, east, west) you're planting your garden in

Retard, depending on your location and latitude starting early indoors is the difference between ANY YIELD and no yield
fuck sake I guess if you weren't all retarded you would just ask this shit in /hgm/ where it belongs

I need a waterproof, or at least high humidity resistant uv growlight for my mycology fruiting tent setup. Doesn't need to be very big, but I prefer it have decent output, so that my mushies are high in vitamin d and so the caps turn out the correct color.

You can start seedlings in a sunny window.

Its worth considering what you're growing. I grow peppers, tomatoes, alpine strawberries and sunflowers and I'll start the nightshades and strawberries plants inside, but germinate the sunflowers outside. A sunflower sprout is big enough and grows quickly enough it's harder for a slug or cutworm to instantly destroy the seedling.

People grow tomatoes in Alaska you fucking knob.

OP you don't need special lights to start seedlings. And yes it's best to get them started indoors while it's still cold out and then get them in the ground after the last frost- can easily give you an extra month of harvest. I have a 1,200 sq/ft greenhouse but before that I would start them in my dining room that gets sun all day. Even if you don't get much sunlight they'll still sprout and get some leaves and roots going before transplant.

bought one of those purple chink lights once, was advertised as 75W i think.
the room it was in was unusable for anything else, because the light is really fucking awful to your eyes.
the seedlings grew leggy and fell over, despite the lamp being right on top of them.
i sent it back and never tried again.

You just need ordinary fluorescent lights man. In olden days they would sew right in the ground, maybe have a greenhouse to get started a little early.

Imagine being this wrong and in the same time telling everyone else they are the ones that are wrong.
I'm on 50th parallel north, doing just about fine in my backyard with tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and especially fucking strawberries. There is a literal strawberry plantation two streets away and when I was a student, I always worked there during harvest for extra cash.
The only plant I ever had issues with was melon. But I knew beforehand it will be tricky to even get it going, so that was more of an experiment than genuine attempt to actually get fruits out of it.
