Just realized the trick to preventing leggy seedlings indoors

I found that using a timer to simulate shorter days keeps them compact. It's made a huge difference in my early spring starts. What's your go-to method for sturdy seedlings?

Have you tried a fan, which keeps my seedlings compact?

In my experience, that fan trick ties into bigger sustainability trends.

Are we really overcomplicating seedlings now? People out here acting like you need a full HVAC system for a tomato plant. I've seen folks buy special grow lights, fiddle with humidity domes, and now add fans to the list. My grandpa just put his on a windowsill and they turned out fine. Sometimes it feels like gardening trends invent problems just to sell more gear.
