  1. Which grow light set up will you use for indoor seed starting in 2025? -CaliKim & CameraGuy New Year's Sale: 20% off Smart Pots, Garden Kits & Seed Collections w/ code "2025", 10% off all book/seed bundles with code “NEWYEAR”. New: The 10-Minute Gardener/Spring Garden Seed /Book Bundle.

  2. My favorite is the grow lights on the shelving unit. I can put cardboard or curtains around it to keep my tabby cat from munching my seedlings. 😊

  3. I have a rack just like the one that you have that I’ve been using for several years. It came out on my old BBQ place. It works great. I laughed when I saw yours because mine is identical. Even the same color

  4. Currently using two clamp lights with cfl bulbs. 100 watts a piece. Plus using a Led Tonic Z5 light. With timer. Thanks for the tips
