Need more lights?

[Tonio]

I have about 10 tom seedlings about 5 weeks old ( from sowing date)among others starts.

1 of them is a Japanese Black Trifele (PL) that is about 8 " wide and about 5" tall. The leaves are so large and wide I hardly have enough light space with all the others, as it takes up so much room. This thing is a monster.
Guess I'll need to redo the rack/light set up for next year. I have a T8 4' and 2 T5 2' lights and its not cutting it anymore.

Sounds like your toms are ready to go outside. Have you been hardening them off for the garden? Nothing beats the sun.

Well I'm supposed to start hardening off tomorrow. But due to the time change, I hardly have any sun before I got to work.

I could put it in the outside shade all day, not sure if thats a good idea. Or I could use some shade cloth in the mini green house.

I plan to transplant on the 20th, so it will be a short hardening session. Or is that pushing it? I usually put them under row covers for a few weeks upon transplanting, but there's some rain in the forecast grr... I did that last year, and got powdery mildew or some other fungal disease they didn't shake off. I do plan to use actinovate prior to putting in the beds and soil drench.
