I decided it's time to take this to a new level! I had planned on building this seed starting bench, but realized it would cost me around $300. Instead, I put together a simple rig of 40W, four-foot hanging fluorescents from a shelf in my garage. Each bulb set has one cool white and one soft white, to spread out the spectrum of light for the sprouts. I have the lights on a timer to turn on at five in the morning, and off again at nine at night -- sixteen hours of good light per day. I have plenty of room for at least three more seed trays - and I have no problem doubling this setup if needed. I just hope the DEA doesn't get the wrong idea! I swear, I'm just growing giant sequoias! ... Well, that, and coast redwood, bristlecone pine, dawn redwood, and red maple...

Hi Blake, for the grow lights did you use 40 watts per bulb or 40 watts for all 4 bulbs?
It's been a while, but I believe it was four bulbs that were each 40W.
