Hi all, my first post here and hoping for some advice if possible. I've got some seeds which went into pots and have already sprouted approx 2.5 weeks, then another couple week and a half or so behind those. I used an excellent composition of soil, organic compost and garden soil (very rich and loamy and approx 6.5/7 ph) Today I put one more seed in after soaking the seed for some hours and after it sank I popped it into its own pot with a cover to keep humidity around 60%. All dandy. Now I live in a very sunny region, sunrise 5.30 and sunset 19.30 and getting later so there's good sunshine available. However, I have alot of 58w flourescent tubes available and my question is, would it be any benefit to put all these seedlings into a 18/6 cycle under lets say 2 tubes in order to give them a bit of a boost before popping them into their spot in the ground which is waiting for them by which time the days would be a little longer? I was a tad late in the season and I am just hoping to really stimulate early development as well as promote the possible ratio of females via the cool white tubes. Any advice or input would be much appreciated!
