lighting/ heat questions...
    #7444412 - 09/23/07 03:14 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

I just went to a hardware store to look at (cheap) lighting for my sally/pedro seedlings/white sage seedlings. The guy that worked there was convinced that a halogen flood light would be better than florescents... I know he is wrong about this. What I am wondering, however, is if the warmth from a halogen could be a useful contribution, alongside a florescent... especially considering we probably won't keep the house warmer than 15-18 degrees celsius most of the time, and will probably turn the heat down to 10 when we are not home. (Gas is expensive!)

Or would I be better off just using a florescent and getting a seedling heat mat for under the plants to warm them... or should I not worry about heat at all?

heat mat would be preferable to a flood light i think... 15-18c is pretty chilly...

I don't think 4ft flouros are an option, I don't have a lot of space, money or time to hook them up. I was thinking of just getting one of those flouros you install under a cupboard... they're about a foot or two long... probably not as powerful, but ready to go, and $20. I don't have a lot of plants to worry about, so I figured this would suffice.
