That is basil and parsley in the photo, the leeks and onions are off to the side. Herbs seem to love all the light. Lights are off by midnight because it faces the street and is quite bright for the neighbors. I have another light bank setup facing the north backyard which gets used 24/7 when I need extra space for T5 rotation. Once the tomatoes and peppers get going, I use this sunny south window for priority growing.
I searched dozens of websites and youtube for info, and they were excellent on describing the germination process but then none mentioned any further celery care until transplant. I saw a few videos from the UK with greenhouses and no lights. Your greenhouse came through for you, so nature is the leading method for now. I'll try and give extension a call next week and report back. Hopefully someone here will have additional thoughts with using artificial light.
