Jason S. said: (quoted from post at 11:43:41 01/15/15) For the past several years I have bought all of my garden plants from a local nursery. I have tried starting plants from seed but I do not have a good place indoors to set them that gets a lot of sunlight,so I thought about using some grow lights but I dont know a whole lot about them. Anybody on here use them? Did you buy them or build your own? Thank you for your help.

We start all of our plants in a little 3 shelf 2' x 4' grow stand using the 4' fluorescent lights. I bought the cheap 2 bulb units and use a warm and cool bulb in each to cover a larger light spectrum. The stand is enclosed and we also use heated mats under the trays. Seedlings are transplanted when about an inch or two tall into Styrofoam cups and put on the porch. Later they get put into bigger pots and go in my portable greenhouses till the weather permits transplanting.
