4 foot floro shop light, $8 just about any walmart, home depot, lowes
use cool white bulbs.
they can be placed as close as possible to plants, like maybe an inch or two
from the top.
floros work very well for veg stage
and will give you time to save a few $$$ for other lights. got any questions??
just ask.
i will be more than happy to try and help

Hello,

Datfire - you can pick up a four foot shop fixture with two light tubes for about 15$ at wal-mart.

They work just fine. I have four of them (a total of 8 tubes, at a total of 320 watts), that grow out my seedlings and clones just fine.

I hope this helps.

Peace
