Window sill growing out?

RomanX · March 18, 2015

I started too many seeds OR too many sprouted!

While I feel no remorse ripping out and throwing away newly sprouted seedlings with their little seed leaves, it pains me to so callously and ruthlessly consider consigning 3 half-grown seedlings that have started to LOOK like tomato plants!

Is it possible for them to continue maturing in a windowsill, without the benefit of the gro lights?? Or would they just wilt and die??

I have about 200 too many right now.

I feel so much better now. I only planted around 150

They will probably be ok on the window sill. The first two years I grew tomatoes I only had the window sill. I still don't use lights.

Currently I use an unheated greenhouse where I put them during the day. It's still freezing here at the moment during the night so they only go out after 10AM when the greenhouse has heated up a bit.
