Do indoor vegetable seeds sprout sooner than outdoor gardens?
Some plant seeds require exposure to the cold before germinating when the ground around them warms up a bit. You could try putting them in the fridge for a couple of weeks before attempting to germinate them. Also soaking the seeds in water for a couple of days before sowing helps a lot. The seeds soak up a lot of the water and the increase in size helps to crack open the seed husk which really speeds up germination. Make sure that you plant the seeds to the specified depth for the species that you’re growing. As for the strawberries, their flowering depends on the length of daylight that they receive. I would suggest slowly increasing the length of time that the grow lamp is turned on to mimic the lengthening days of spring. Otherwise they’re just not going to flower. You might want to research “long day” and “short day” plants. As an aside – is your lamp a proper horticultural lamp or a household one? Household ones don’t emit sufficient UV for plant growth and maturation. You can pi
