Seedlings In Hot Box

Question

Can I transplant my seedlings to a hot box for better growing results? I have them under grow lights and there is hardly and change in growth for three weeks. Would the natural sun light boost them faster? And what is a good resource book for starting seedlings on my counter?

Answer 1

Yes, you can try moving them to a hotbox to take advantage of natural light. Another thing you can do that will help the seedlings is to put a soil warming mat under the seedling tray. Also, make sure the light is close to the seedlings. Here is more:

We don't make book recommendations, but you can probably find one online with good reviews. Or call your local extension agent who might know of a good one.
