I germinated some tomato seeds and they are already getting very leggy. They are planted in seed starter soil. I have them located in a south facing window with lots of sunlight. The temperature in the apartment is about 75 degrees. From what I've read about leggy seedlings they need more light. Any one have opinions on best light for a small indoor grow area? My window sill is about 2 ft wide so I was thinking of getting this fluorescent fixture.

Should I get standard fluorescent bulbs for this fixture or some sort of grow lights? Specific links to products would be great appreciated.

Thanks
