I just finished the last tweak of my city set-up. All the lights are T-5's, but the ones over the middle shelf are only half as strong as the others. I got them from HD 2years ago, didn't realize there would be such a big difference. Even using foil as a reflector there is no comparison.

Pic 2: I have all shade lovers under them now, Alchemilla, Campanula, Digitalis and the like. This year all my plants seem much sturdier and more compact than in the past, even those. I think it must be the light.

Pic 3,4,5: Lots of Platycodons on the top shelf, several Dianthus and a smattering of other singles and doubles.

We're leaving on Thursday for a few days, most everything should be germinated by then, I hope, Nicotianas, and Snapdragons mostly, and a few Daturas. If not, I guess I'll move the dome onto the self-watering tray and leave a vent open for air circulation. .. And keep my fingers crossed!
