Seems we have a bunch of green thumbs here on 6-8. Some of them may soon be planting the "electric lettuce".The Wife planted some trays yesterday.

The covers , moisture and lights weren't finished at time of picture.
Apparently Lady in Red for Hummingbirds, and Beef Steak Tomatoes for us.
Now I have to wait and see which ones the Hummingbirds like more to know which is which.
What would you recommend for fertilizer? I have a few scrawny little sprouts starting to cone through on some cherry tomatoes but nothing yet on my dads seeds or some peppers.Nothing like no pressure.
Only 3rd year for us, I figure @Derkd9 could be of help with this.
For us, start seeds moist and covered until sprouting. Uncover, do not soak or allow to dry out, keep artificial lights close and or natural sun light to do its thing.
Feed them every other week.
Hopefully we grow so many we have survivors to plant when temps allow. LOL,

Thank you!I just use powdered Miracle Grow in solution that is used in your garden. I have it mixed in a four litre water bottle and feed from below as required.
Now that's what I'm seeing in my little garden world! Thanks I hope you'll keep posting the progress difference. We have one grow light from a high school science experiment years ago and didn't bother to dig it out of the basement. I was kinda checking out the whole process this year as a newbie to gardening so haven't invested much yet.This will make you feel better.
Beefsteak Tomato Plants in sunlight and dirt only.

The others were started in a Hydroponic environment/solution and have been transplanted into dirt to go into the garden.
This is now a test to see what difference these lights make on these specific plants compared to the Sun.
Mrs Stomp you asked about fertilizer. In one of my pictures is what I use for seedling and all indoor plants. It's a fish based product. For seedlings use 10% of the recommended for house plants. It's called Wegners.What would you recommend for fertilizer? I have a few scrawny little sprouts starting to cone through on some cherry tomatoes but nothing yet on my dads seeds or some peppers.
