OK! Done all the Camera Stuff..........SO! Voila! here is my meager seed set-up.

It is working very well--nothing wrong! Just on a smaller scale than some of you....

This is my 3' wide--4 shelf unit I bought at target for $25. Of course--the 3' shop lights were hard to find---and the 4-3' florescent bulbs cost me $6.50 each--plus tax! WHY???????
You can buy a 10-pack of 4' shop light bulbs for about $10!

On the very bottom shelf--I kept all the seeded cell packs covered in plastic until something sprouted. Then I moved THOSE cell packs up to one of the shelves with the lights.

This is in my bedroom by my S-facing window. Easy for me to keep track of how long the lights are on. I get up---I plug them in I go to bed--I unplug them. All told--they are on for about 14-15 hours.
