growing seeds under lights......

Ok Ive read many and heard many different things about starting seeds under lights. Well I need some simple answers. A friend of mine says normal flourecent bulbs will do the trick, he says to place 2 four foot long light fixtures side by side for a total of four bulbs over each seed tray. Also I need to know what type of soil is best to start with? After the flowers start to grow i plan on transplanting them into say 5 inch pots or so. My friend has a farm stand and wants me to try selling some things there so ill be growing many flowers. I'll also try my hand at winter sowing. I have Zinnia, Marigold, Columbine, Snapdragon, Coleus, Reubeckia, Calendula and many other types of flowers. I just need a few tips here on how to start what types of trays? soil etc.? Thank you all
