Why Are My Seedlings Always Leggy?
« on: June 11, 2012, 11:15 »
Morning All :)

I germinate my seeds in propagators or just normal pots on the window sills in the kitchen, they always germinate fine but tend to be on the leggy side constantly any ideas why?

Thanks in advance :)

Because there is just not enough light on a window sill.

Try making a reflector from aluminium foil to put behind them (on the room side) to reflect the window light back onto them.
