The onion I bought started to grow stalks and it turns out there were 3 seperate onion plants growing inside. I peeled away the onion meat (which I saved) until I got to the roots and planted them about 1 inch into the soil. They are in a self watering pot so the soil is always moist. What are the chances I'll get 3 onions and what else should I do to raise the success rate? The plant gets about 12 hours of light a day from my grow lamps.

I would just wait and see. If it grows well and produces a flowering stalk or scape, you can snap it off whilst young and eat that. Never grown onions indoors but theoretically it might work to have each form a bulb of sorts but they will only be small. If you have put them in three different same sized pots they would have a chance at being bigger. Keep us posted!
