Can't remember where I saw it, but someone in one of these posts showed their set-up and it was just a nice window facing south that got some winter sun, and this is how they started their seedlings. If you have a large window that gets the afternoon winter sun is that enough to reliably grow from seed? I ask because I suspect others here have that window arrangement and yet have chosen to use the shop lights anyway. I thought I might try it both ways this year to see if there is a difference. You just can't beat nature if given the choice in my book, but a lot here seem to really believe in the shop lights.

Thanks!
