New Seed Starter Setup

Charlie
11 years ago

I am preparing to buy the components for a DIY grow light setup for my basement. I am trying to keep the cost down while making it pleasing to the eyes and providing adequate light to start or over-winter plants. I have found a shelving unit (74"X48"X18", 5 tier) at Lowes for $80. Is it worth the extra $20 expense to get a 24" deep unit? All others are more expensive. For lights I intend to use Fluorescent Shop Light ficture (T8 48 inch) Model SL-1, one per shelf ($12 each). With GE 32 watt T8 Daylight bulbs (6500K)($8 each). I will attach the chains with "S" hooks and supply power with a surge protector strip. Considering my goals, does anyone have any recommendations?
