I had a good laugh from this post. Funny but an informative reminder of my newb indoor sowing days. Sounds like someone has just went through an ordeal and had a glimpse on how to overcome.

One thing I'd suggest is noting the suns height in the sky rather then daylight hours for indoor window sill germination that you speak of. Reason being is that more daylight hours on a window sill = less direct sunlight (which is bad for some strains) because the sun is higher in the sky during this phase. So planting earlier would actually be better for certain plants because you would have more direct light on them and that first month of growing can be the difference between living or death. (mainly applies to most herbs and flowers)

In other words 8 hours of direct light is better then 16 hours of indirect lighting at the germination stage with regards to keeping seedlings less straggly which could lead to them dying off. Mainly only applies to delicate plants tho, not veg.
