Should it decide to sprout early, I have a good spot in a corner where I sometimes put a grow light on each wall focused on the plant below. I can have the lights as close to the plant (or far away) as needed so I will bear that in mind. Actually even my poor house plants suffer the lack of light so I have grow lights hanging from various walls, even for those sitting in windows. So you are right, our sun in winter is a pretty poor source of energy for plant growth.
