Six hours is enough to grow peppers and tomatoes. You should probably remove all the fruit before transplanting.

LOL! Well, here in Salt Lake County, UT, we have long winters & summers, and short springs and autumns. It's weird; things start warming up in late February, but there are a lot of false starts, and it's not uncommon for us to have a lone snow storm in late April, even if we hadn't had snow in weeks. I don't know the spring frost date off hand. Judging by the sources on the web, it's probably somewhere between 4/18 and 4/26 (one site said 5/18, but I think that's way off). If 'spring frost date' literally refers to the average date of the last frost, then late April seems plausible, as Winter often takes a dying gasp around then. But generally, frosts are few and far between by then. If we have a frost in late April, it usually follows a week or two without frosts, so even though late April might typically be the spring frost date, I don't know if that's the best date to go by (maybe you guys can help me figure this out). I mean, the average low creeps above freezing by March 11th, according to Weather.com. I know that this is only an average, and that in any typical year, I can expect several frosts after this date, but late April still seems a bit late to me. But what do I know? Over the last few years, I bought my tomato plants at the garden center, and I always waited until May to plant them.

David, the law should have been written to encourage the purchase of the most efficient lighting, (IE they get the credit for now many watts the lights save, instead of the bassakwards law they wrote where you add up the watts of the non-incandescent lights you bought and gets a "Credit for that"----so that encourages people to buy those non-incandescants (at the highest wattage), so they can use an incandescent (as computed by our idiots)! If you live in Calif, there is NO WAY, you can miss all the windmills out here, and there are credits (US & Calif), I believe for purchasing Solar Power. Let me give you another example of why I call these "So Called Thinkers", idiots. My wife works for a huge company, with TONS of computers. Just about all the computers are still using Cathode Ray Tube Monitors (There not nearly as efficient as LCD Monitors). There is NO incentive for companies to update monitors (Government wise--Especially CAlif Govt). In fact , you are penalized if you update the monitor, first the sales tax, but worse than that is a law our "Idjusts" passed---The so called "Monitor Recycling Fee". If you are a business, in Calif, You have to "Guesstimate" the number of monitors you will buy in the calendar year. Then you pay a Fee based upon your number (of course they Keep an Eye on ya). This law was passed when (due to the Terminator), no new taxes would be passed in Calif---or at least it would be difficult "Political wise" So the Legislature came up with all kinds of "Fees", this being one of them. They kept coming up with new fees until the "Hammer Fell". Monitor's that are recycled, make money for the recycler so it had nothing to do with the disposal costs of old monitors! One of the many reasons the State is Broke, is because we duplicate so much of what the Fed Govt is already doing, and I for one, don't Appreciate Our Idiots "Granstanding" and passing laws that have the opposite effect of maximizing Energy Savings!!!

If you are subject to laws like Title 24, you will need to put in the same amount of wattage in approved energy efficient lighting. It would be a good idea to have ~ 35 lumens per sq ft. Most people prefer lighting to have the same color temperature - 2700k or 3000k. Finding different types of light with the same color temperature could be too much trouble for some people. LED lights can be dimmed using incandescent dimmers. However, the effect of dimming LEDs is not linear and halogen lights will change color as they dim. HTH.
