I simply have 2 flourescent bulbs and have them hanging close to the starts, as they grow I'll move the lights higher. The better bulbs would be full spectrum light. <br /><br />I'll be transplanting the seedlings into their own pots as soon as they have 2 leaves. So these little seedlings will expand on my windowsill, and I'll add another table. Most seeds are ready to plant out after 6-8 weeks and need a hardening off period, a couple hours per day, and increasing the time over a week. Then they go into the cold frame, then planted in the garden. It's a process of them growing up and getting strong enough to handle being planted out early in the garden.Jewelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612234598453063687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079272600732355470.post-75510043172155461322012-03-14T19:21:26.197-07:002012-03-14T19:21:26.197-07:00Your seedlings are looking strong and healthy.
