lights) with a pulley so you can raise/lower the lights as the seedlings
grow. Alternatively, you can always place something underneath the sprouted
seedlings to raise them closer to the light, especially if you have seeds
from various plants that sprout at different times. Keep your seedlings as
close as practicable to the lights so the plants don't become spindly or
"leggy." Before long, you'll gain experience and confidence.
Sound advice.
My dad does this too.
