I bought a cheap small tent and grow light to get my seedlings going over winter. (hexbear.net)

That's all. Look at the little guys go. It's a tiny little thing I've set up in a cupboard

Nice. I did grow lights for my seedlings too this year, attached them to my bookcase and kept the little guys under them for a few months. Got really nice petunia seedlings from it that are just now starting to bloom.

amazing! this is my first season trialling with grow lights, ill be sure to post progress pics, i was so excited to see my tomato seedling break through the soil in the middle of winter

It works so great. My tomato seedlings were always a bit leggy, but this year I have the sturdiest most robust boys growing that at this point are as large as small trees. I started them in March. Makes a huge difference in a cold and dark climate.

I've been growing my houseplants under growlights for some years now too, they thrive. Am considering switching to more edible stuff indoors all year, read that you can even do strawberries. Stuff like window cucumbers are very popular now too.

Can't wait to see the progress pics.
