Default When to start

Make sure you get a flourescent light, like a shop light at Home Depot.
After seeds sprout, hang light about 4" to 6" above plants. Power the
light with a timer, turn on for about 16 hours a day. If the seedlings
do not get enough light they will be stringy and die when transplanted
to the garden.
