Re: Shop lights for grow lights

I've been growing daylily seedlings in my basement furnace room under lights
for years. After listening to a number of lighting specialists, I went out
and bought basic shop lights from Home Depot. I did not replace the
flourescent bulbs with grow lights. The daylilies grow like gang busters
with these shoplights.

The lights are the type  that hang from chains. They can be lowered and
raised easily as the plant foliage grows. Sears sells shop lights too and
they are much less expensive than grow lights.

Good luck!
