  • Most seeds will germinate in these conditions you might find that some germinate slower. To get your true temperatures set your propagator up on the window sill and put your thermometer inside you will find it's warmer inside the propagator.

    Angela27, could we see a pic of this light box?image

  • Oh sorry art jack, only just noticed your post.  It's dark now so don't want to go out now.  Will see if I can see a link to a similar one.  Mine was a Christmas present last year.

     

  • Hi art jack, it's called Garland Grow Light Garden on Amazon and is £71.73. Hope this helps.

     

  • I germinate all my seeds in a Garland windowsill electric propagator and then prick out the young seedlings singly into small pots/module trays. They grow on inside on a south facing windowsill until large enough to be hardened off in my minigreenhouse outside.  They are then planted out by end of April - Mid May.

    I have never owned a propagator or a light box, my seeds do well

    on window sills, worktops any free surface. If you sew them whem the days are longer, they have enough natural light.

     

    If you have any seedlings that are leggy just repot up to their shoulders, you need to do this for tomatoes anyway.
