Hi everybody
I'm going to try for the first time to start from seed. I have a three foot wide by two foot deep plastic shelving unit with four shelves that i am going to use for holding my seed trays. I'm having a hard time finding 3 foot wide florescent fixtures that are not over $30 a pop and I need four of them for each shelf.
So after reading all the great comments in the thread I think I will make my own light strip using CFL bulbs and light sockets.
No worries, I'm quite handy and my father is a electrician and I will make sure he approves my craftsmanship
Question(s)
How many CFL bulbs per a 3 foot wide shelf should I use? Single Row?
Amazon has Sylvania 29490 23-Watt CFL Mini Twist Light Bulb, Soft White, 6 pack for $15.00. Are these the correct CFL bulbs to get?
