“The garden room isn’t doing quite as well as I had hoped, but I think that is related to light timing issues, there will be adjustments made.”

Set your grow lights to be ON for 16 hours and OFF for 8 hours. I’m usually awake for 16 hours and asleep for 8, so I turn mine on when I get up and turn them off when I go to bed. Or, you can use a timer of course.

OFF is as important as ON - seedlings need time to rest as well as time to grow. :)

Good morning...Thanks for the thread...and thanks for that reminder about grow lights...I am going to get serious about seed starting this year with my little setup.
