Five pots of black Krim tomato seeds were started. Last year seed was placed between two sheets of paper towel to confirm viability. Some innovations this year. Five pots are placed in a 23 liter bucket with a fan and a LED light. For now it is an experimental set-up. Main purpose is to see if large stem plants can be obtained. After the plants are established they will be accommodated in the greenhouse utilizing Sunlight.

Two days after planting sprouted seed they have grown. The light used is a LED, 18 watt consumption, (90Watt equivalent) bright white,1500 lumens from Home Depot. Fan for moving air. Temperature is about 28C.
