Lord Byron,
Did that last year out of necessity, just left the lights on and moved the
next flat under. BUT, they did significantly better with 14-16 hours under
one cool white and one warm white fluorescent, so this year I have more
lights. Warming from under, a 40w bulb in a 12 inch high wooden box for most
flats, worked wonders too. Although the plants on the heating pad with the
flat in direct contact did a little better.
All germination and seedling tips were learned here, and I'm grateful.
Now if I could just master the "inches of lime per square foot" conversion
tables...Let's see, 1 inch of water, 3 inches of fluffy compost, 1/2 inch of
lime....
