That's odd:  I've been germinating tomato seeds for over 30
years and they have NEVER been within 2-4 inches of a
fluorescent light until AFTER they have sprouted.  I get
very good germination rates too.  Excellent, in fact.  
So I would wonder about the accuracy of that statement.  

I do not have room under the fluorescent lights for
germinating seeds - they are kept elsewhere (with
bottom-heat).  I put them under lights or outdoors in the
sun once they have germinated.

Sorry to be picky:  but I don't want someone else, like me,
who does not have room for germinating seeds under
fluorescent lights to be discouraged about it.
