How close do fluorescent lights have to be to indoor propagation trays
to be effective? I would like to use the ceiling lights I have in the
basement. If I were to set up a couple of sawhorses with propagation
mats, do you think I could get by with the ceiling lights, or will I
have to lower them to within a foot or so of the seeds?




Everything I've seen says you should put them really close like within
inches, but my pet theory is you can build a hugh reflector (or two) from
leftover AOL discs and just use the ceiling light.


That's what I thought. Now, if only I can remember where I put that bag of
AOL CD's!
