    I agree, CFL with a little heat pad will crank out roots..

    I still have my 4 light CFL. It just runs to hot. Sure does make them seedlings stand up quick and spread out. Ive had then ready for a pot in a week.

    produces best results for germination and seedlings hands down...One could wire together 250 w cfl pretty easy, like you did.

    Hi dirtymike those old boxes i've kept for over 40yrs i had to down size my house and left alot of my wood scrapes i use to use for elevators at my old property so a now make do. As long as they are clean free from bugs i use them. And you just can't beat the 100watt LED boards these days.

    LOL, add 2 more splitters and you have a 4 way. I started my indoor with twisty bulbs, they do ok, but you will be happier with a decent LED.
