If it is a good sunny, warm day, put them outside during the day, and
bring them in in the evening. It's a pain in the backside, but it is
best for the plants. Soil warmth counts.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.

Is this window cill (sic) tenp really 65F to 10C...Farenheith to
Celsius ? 65F to ~50F. That is not too disparant, but temps do need
to come up roughly 10-15 degrees, maybe a bit more.

I believe the answer is; whatever is easy for you. A constant bottom
heat, a bit of humidity and lots of light are essential at this stage
so wherever you can setup and monitor the best.
