I would like to off my remaining amazon gift card balance by purchasing equipment that I might need and even stuff that would be useful. I would like my entire setup to look and even feel professional. I know you could make your own CFL grow light system for much less.How many seedlings do you expect to start each time, how long and in what size pots man?
I imagine you'll be using smallish pots to start in and then pot up once they're nice established seedlings. I'd say just for that you'd only need around 30w-50w worth of cfl for 5-10 seedlings. A 20w+ cfl from near enough any shop will do and they're very cheap.
