Thought I'd share my cheap seed starting system. I am new to growwing from seeds and new to flower gardening in general. Heres what I did, I put 2 4'x8'x1/2" wafer board shelves in the basement. I drilled 1/2" holes in the 4 corners and center. I passed some chain though each hole and put a nail thru the links where I wanted the shelf to suspend. Hung shop lights from small hooks over flats. The shelves can be adjusted up or down by pulling the nails out of the links and raise or lower as needed. I am useing shop lights from wally world with regular tubes (not grow lights). So far the seedlings are doing great! I am thinking about adding another shelf.
