Cucumbers, on the other hand, have bigger seeds and has to be started 6-8 weeks before planting out. They like mach wormer temperature than tomatoes. It is best to transplant them 2 weeks later than toms. You may need to find bigger containers for them...
sorry
For the light above my seedlings I use Hydro Farm Fluorescent Light System (my husband's generous present).
good luck with all
Thank you kindly for your reply about the cumubers,, I knew I should of waited too after the fact when I seen how fast these took off.. it is okay though, I have faith the spring weather will change abruptly and I'll get them cucs in the ground
