I haven't sown seed for a few years indoors since I use a coldframe. However, I came across a box of forgotten seeds in my garden shed. These are old seeds, the oldest from 2004. Decided to test them using the moist kitchen paper towel method. Lord behold, they germinated. Now I'm on a roll and no window space to speak of.

Dug out my plant lights and mounted them above my shelf on the wall in my office. See my post on Feb 12.

I have 2 wide spectrum 4 ft. GE plant lights mounted on a shop light fixture. On the tubes it reads "Plant and aquarium F40PL/AQ Wide Spectrum". That is all it says. They were purchased from Walmart in 2004 and used one season.

Caption: Here is my setup. I'm hoping I can get away with just one shelf, although I have 3 more if needed. The light is approximately 6" above the plants in the pots. Chains allows me to raise and lower the light as needed. This is the setup I used when I started those 54 different varieties of plants, except I used more lights and shelves.
