Here are a few pictures of my setup for growing some seeds. I planted the seeds on March 26 and they seem to be doing well. The bulb is a 6500K 23watt CFL (I can't remember the lumens) and the foil around it is to keep the light a bit more centered because the bulb is bigger than the metal part and some light escapes. The lamp is on from 6:00am to 9:00pm. The entire thing is next to a window that faces East, so it gets a bit of sun in the morning.

Any comments/criticism/advice would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

Good job on the germination. Hope to do the same later this year from a B-52/Polish Dracula cross polination.

That looks like a pretty good setup. I'm not very experienced with artificial lighting, but it looks like those plants are receiving plenty of light to thrive with the light that close to them. Some of those seedlings also appear to have red leaves, which means they could grow up to be a mostly red plant. Good luck with growing them!
