I had more trouble with heat in my makeshift "greenhouse" (some 2x4's and plastic) this year than I did with cold. In the past I had many more issues with them getting leggy under grow lights. It was a non-issue out in the "greenhouse" and in the sun provided they had space to grow and were not cramped together. I constructed this to start my seedlings and it has worked well. I only grow out about 3000. I germinate them inside my heated shop and then move them out when they get established some and have true leaves.
Another big benefit of this mild and early spring was that I had started some toms @ the first of the year and moved them out to the house in March and enjoyed my first ripe ones last week.
