Start by getting the windowsill right. Once that settles, the season follows without much fighting.

Do not rush the windowsill. Give it the time it needs and the bed stops being a guessing game. I used to ignore the sucker entirely. That was a mistake, and it cost me a whole grow before I noticed.
