All my peppers and tomatoes have become leggy due to inconsistent sun lately. Temperatures have also been unstable. Figured I'd take them inside, so I can better control temperature and light until they're ready for planting. I had them in my balcony which has been great at growing tall plants, but not so great at growing tiny plants (they have to sit behind glass and get obstructed by the tall ones – growth is really slow).
I'm growing these for my parent's place. So, we'll see how it goes. I don't want to restart any because these are already so delayed. We'll see!
The large tray is for starting lettuce and cabbage in the future.
Currently measuring ~20k lux at each seedling. 2.6umol/J 120W Samsung LED growlight (LM281B). Should mean ~350 PPD for the outer seedlings and closer to 550 for the center ones.

Leggy tomatoes are a myth, just shove those deeper when you repot!
