Hey everyone! I'm looking to kick off my pepper seeds this week since I'm in Zone 8 in the UK. I've got a heat mat ready for germination, but I'm wondering if I need to use grow lights once they sprout. Will there be enough natural light by that time, or should I definitely invest in some grow lights? Any recommendations would also be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm also in Zone 8 UK, and I have my seeds on a heat mat as well. I'm planning to put them under grow lights tonight to give them the best start. Once the last frost passes, I'll transition them outside to harden them off before moving them to the greenhouse. It's a good way to ensure they thrive!
