Folks -
I'm trying to knock out a few flats of micro greens for the market the
next couple of weeks.
My first trays are at about 10 days.
While I haven't had the mold problems I usually get this time of year,
growth ain't what i'd expect.
I'm using an old light stand that has seen very little use.
The bulbs must be 4 years old, but probably don't have 100 hours on them.
They certainly look bright and even.
I'm just writing to ask if I should take the often read suggestion to
replace T5 bulbs used for plant starting yearly to heart. Will it
really make a difference?
I'm starting primarily brassicas, wheat grass, sunflowers and peas.
I'm keeping the day and night temps around 65 degrees
Thanks
