Response to Starting seeds

I start mine in the basement, not much light! I have used the flourescent lights several years with good success. I use one regular light bulb and one grow light. The regular light bulb for heat, the grow light for the light they need. I have best luck starting them in a seed starter rather than in potting soil, less damping-off disease. Once they get bigger, you will either need to fertilize them or repot in soil as the seed starter in a pk. doesn't contain any nutrients. Also, as someone above said, keep the light about 2 or 3 inches from the seedlings or they will grow tall and spindly. Good luck.
