I only have a 3' shelf with 2 sets of 3' lights. I am NOT into any huge quantity of seeding anything. Only a few of this and that....

The 3' shop lights are only 30Watts each--so each shelf only gets 60 watts shining on the seedlings. I also do not have a 'reflector". I should try to make one out of foil......

The shelf does sit by a very sunny window. Everything did OK last year. Seems slow this year--or maybe i am just impatient.

Do you fertilize the seedlings with the Fish Emulsion (WHAT dilution???) before they grow true leaves? How much in a gallon? A tsp.???
I know I read (By Carolyn) that Tomato seedlings should NOT ever be fertilized!

I think I need to feed mine a little something...just don't want to over do it...

Thanks, Gita

Here's one (of three) of my trays of assorted seedlings....Still small! Some are bigger--HELP!!!!
