'Leggy' Seedlings
#2
Quote:Originally posted by Bushbaby
Ok, so I have planted up all my seedlings as close to or on the windowsill as directed. Ninety nine percent have come up fine and are growing well, but I am experiencing a problem with my tomato seedlings in that they are very very leggy.

Now, I know that I can plant the stems deeper into the soil when I transplant them, but don't really want to be doing that so early on, as I expect this will continue to be a problem whilst they remain indoors.

Any suggestions anyone?

I know this may sound very silly Bushbaby, but how much sunlight or any light do your seedlings get?
Seedlings usually go "leggy" if there is a deficiency of light, preferably natural light.
