Anyone use grow lights to start their seeds off? A lot of my seeds need to be propagated (requiring temps of 25-32c), so instead of buying multiple propagators (expensive) I was thinking maybe grow lights? (yes the type used for weed...!).

I have a grow light, bought off of Amazon, but yet to set it up.
I read that the best thing for seeds in general was to use put them in the dark on damp paper towel, forcing the roots to grow.
I'm planning a grow shed for various edibles later in the year.
ATM only have herbs growing 'very well' outside and my new addition is my rhubarb, planted in a large pot.

I never bothered with any lights in the end. The weather was showing promise, then we had a wet and cold Spring....//static.avforums.com/styles/avf/smilies/facepalm.gif everything stopped growing for weeks.

Making up for it now though. Not dropping below 31 all week. Likely to hit 40 mid week!
