Hi, me again with my supid questions *Blush*
These are the first four seedlings, they are outside in a cold frame.
Thumb of 2016-01-04/cybersix/3a60d4
The temps are around -1°C at night and 2 by day.
They were planted in pots in october.
I still have 4 seeds of one of the cross that didn't germinate yet, but if everything will be fine by the end of january they will be planted as well.
The growth is poor and slow, the sun doesn't hit the garden until spring.
So I thought of bring them inside again, placing them in the garage under the house (about 15°C there) and use grow lights like these

They aren't expensive and they use very few W/h so having them on for some hours per day should not cost much.
I wanted to speed up growth.
It's something you would do? Is it a stupid and useless idea?
Many thanks!
