Re: Hello! Rose question...

Judy - I got lucky - I scrounged a 2' fixture from the scrap pile at
work when they were remodelling someone's office, but I got those broad
spectrum tubes from Gardener's Supply to go in them and it has worked
quite well in the seeds starting center I designed and my neighbor built
for me. A regular 4' shop light fixture should work quite well for you,
especially if rigged to be raised and lowered depending on the height of
the seedlings. I didn't think of that w/ this design. Live and learn.
