How Do You Pick Lights For Growing Seedlings Indoors?
For many gardeners, growing seedlings indoors is a necessity thanks to a short growing season. With a shorter growing season, gardeners are unable to germinate their seeds in the ground, and must do so inside in a protected environment. Fortunately, there’s a range of options when picking lights for growing seedlings indoors, including sunlight and artificial light sources. Make sure that the windowsill you have chosen is pretty draft-free. The soil the seedlings are in needs to be kept at about 70 degrees F or so. If the soil is not warm enough the seeds do not germinate properly, and the seedlings may not grow well, if at all. Rotate the seedlings on the windowsill every day. They will have a tendency to grow toward the light and will thus grow canted if you do not turn them regularly. Set up reflectors out of foil to help bounce light onto all sides of the plants.
