Just 4ft fluorescent shop lights with daylight bulbs, 6 tubes per shelf, each shelf holds 4 trays of 32 plants. The light fixtures are on chains so that I can keep them no more than 2 inches from the tops of the plants.

Everything else I do is a couple of posts up. I just generally have good luck with raising transplants, it's once I have to deal with mother nature that things get hard.

Here is a shot I took for a friend, this is on the shelves in my office where I germinate everything before it goes out in the garage. He posted a picture of some leggy seedlings and I was trying to show him what I mean by lots of light.
