Miles-like GymGirl said you can use whatever's handy. Do you have trays to start the seeds. I use 1020 trays but I order them in bulk and peat pellets or a soiless seed starting mix to germinate the seeds. Lowes or HD should have these but maybe not at this time of year. As you can see everybody does it different, thats just my method. I also use 1 gallon milk jugs I cut off the top and use the bottom, just make sure they are cut low enough to fit under your lights.

I use shoplights in a shoplight fixture, pretty inexpensive even if you by them new. Remember the lights need to be 1-2" from the seedlngs. I prop my lights up with small mason jars, then large mason jars, and finally coffee grounds containers if they need to stay protected longer. If your looking for a a 2 light set up you probably dont need to much space. Im going to post a picture, we can only post one at a time if you would like more let me know. What kind of seeds are you looking to start?
