Post #5203173

I know nothing about herbs and couldn't find much information about growing under lights, so I didn't want to put a lot of money into something that would die. Here's my solution: Plastic beverage containers with tops cut off and holes poked in the bottoms. Bag of potting soil. Two $11 grow lights from a big-box store (already had them for seed germination). And a bunch of overgrown and rootbound late-season starts bought two-for-one at the local nursery. Voila - now I'm cookin'!

Anyone have any thoughts on helping them adjust to their new environment? Should I trim them down a whole bunch? Put the light closer to them so they don't get leggy?
