Kits
A first indoor pepper tray. Seed, cells, mix, then a light if the sill is short. Cages later, once fruit weighs the plant.
Seed-starting kit
First tray: pepper seeds, seed starting trays, potting mix. Grow lights only if they belong. Search the first tray.
Grow light vs windowsill
When IFAS wants an overhead light for a Central Florida seed tray, and when a south or west sill is enough.
