First year in my new house and so excited to start my garden. I'm just trying to throw something together to get by until I can move these outside. 4 ft grow light suspended by speaker wire under a Rubbermaid table. Just ditched the humidity dome, I need to pick up a small fan soon to help strengthen these seedlings up a bit before up-potting.

Nothings getting roasted with light 9 miles away from the plants.. womp wooomp
Nah, looks good just need more light 👍
Creative. I would get the lights much closer. Prop the plants up on something or drop light down closer. They will get leggy and spindly. They look skinny now…
See my recent post. Similar boat.
I admire a guy that’s not afraid to go big.
I am currently growing a potato plant in a kitty litter container filled with dirt (the big yellow bucket)
Just put a little stoel and bring the seedlings closer to the light
You can get more plant under their
So you have to get on your knees to water them and be super precise or you destroy your floor boards with a rectangular mold spot?
It’s a little bit impractical perhaps? 🙂
If you have even one house mouse, they’re toast
Plants look leggy and the light is way too high. Hope it works out for you though

Under desk gang!
Very nice! Maybe drop the light a couple inches. Love the heating mat!
WHY do you still have the heating pad on???
Get a fan. They won’t cute leggy seedlings in terms of height, but it will thicken up the stems. Honestly, I don’t know that leggy seedlings, unless they fall over, are that bad. A bit longer stem seems to keep lower leaves out of the dirt as the plant grows taller and the leaves get longer.
Remove the heating pad, add a fan, increase light intensity
Nah, roast them pods when they are ripe 🌶️
Put a couple blocks under try there looking leggy
