Photo of Who grows seeds "under the lights?"

I have a large homemade wood set up with 6 ~ 48" lights on one side and 6 ~ 24" lights on the other. The picture I am posting is old so you can't see the 24" lights on it. I keep it in my garage and it stays in the 40's in there in winter. So when I first start sowing stuff I also set up a rack in my finished basement. The metal type racks don't have enough room between the shelves for the seedlings once they get past a certain height, so I try to plan it so they can be moved to the garage once they are tall enough. The seedlings seem to do better in the cooler temps. once they have a couple set of leaves anyway. It seems to help them stay stockier rather than tall and lanky. Here is an older photo of some ones inside during winter. http://davesgarden.com/tools/blog/viewimage.php?did=59335
