Default Strange plant problem

I don't know your experience with fluorescent lights, but I've seen some
oddities with leaves develop that were corrected by putting the plants
in daylight

Hm.. that sounds kinda weird. My only two issues with similiar
problem: 1) field mouse, now deceased, and 2) over-zealous cat (still
alive, but seedlings are quarantined). I've been growing plants under
flour. lights for several years, never saw anything odd. The
occasional cabbage doesn't develop true leaves, but not entire flats
worth.

I thought so too, but it hasn't been a serious problem and only seems to
affect new leaves on mature plants.

Give the plants a straight diet of daylight and they're fine.
