These lights work great for seedlings. Not sure if it is an option but it would be a lot better than no light.

Germination took a little longer then I expected. However, the seedling caught up to my other plant within a couple of days. I've been leaving this on the windowsill for most days but place under a grow light when the plant begins to bend too much.
I've overwatered a couple of days ago and decided to stop watering it until soil looks dry. Physically, it does feel damp but I'd rather wait for it to dry out before watering again.

Grow Questions
DogWasStarstarted grow question 5 years ago
I've got some handymen coming over to fix things around my apartment in a couple of weeks time. The closet lights I ordered won't arrive until after they've gone. I was wondering, how long can I leave the plant without light?
Ideally, they'll be without it for at least 36 hours.

36 hours without light will be too long. It will stretch and cause problems. If you can get a cheap bulb to hide it somewhere then that would be a lot better. I start my seedlings on a 23w cfl daylight bulb. You can get a 4 pack for like $10 at home improvement stores. I will post a link below to the lights I use. Hope that helps
