Yes, they are, well, sort of. I keep two 4' shop lights going 24x7
in the greenhouse because it's on the east side of the house and only
really gets morning sun... all the plants in there seem to do OK by
it, tho' I have to wonder sometimes if it plays havoc with their
inner clocks in some way:-) Haven't had too many complaints yet.
I think I am going to prick them out to a gritty mix and see if that
encourages them...
