Souliere- I found that I was seeding again after several weeks of growing my
tomatoes, etc. I could not get the lights down close to the plants like I
could for the first group (by then the first seedlings were several inches
tall). What do you do to get the light close to the newest seeds? Prop them
up >on something?

bill missen.

Exactly.

The lights weigh a bit, are up kind of  high, chain is hard to reach
and I like things securely fastened.  So I always leave my lights
up high and bring the seedlings to them.  Then as they grow
I lower the supports so I can have brand new seedlings right next
to foot tall transplants.
About this time of year my props tend to be large plastic pots
they are wide and plenty stable.  Later (when I am using the pots
outside) I use nested  cardboard boxes.  I nest the boxes
(one inside another) so that if the outer box gets lightly wet
it does not collapse.
