    Thanks @Pacnorwest .

    I use full spectrum grow lights. When I used the red, (which I have the option to do on some grow lights that I have,) I didn't feel it enhanced growth but, instead, slowed it.

    Onion sets I put into trays a few weeks ago are coming on, moved them into the unheated tunnel today.

    Roots are coming out the bottom, these will be going out into the beds as soon as the soil dries up a bit.
