  2. Do you plan on growing all of those seeds at once? If so, you will need more light. You want to shoot for at least 100 actual watts per plant.

    Also, CFL's should be placed as close to your plants as possible without touching. 6 inches away will lead to stretching.

    Never used the product before, but see nothing wrong with it. Light from CFL's have very little penetration ability, so you may want to get some individual CFL's (maybe some 23w which are suuuuuper cheap) for a bit of extra lighting along the sides of your plants. Grab some clamp lamps for this, they work really well for positioning your light exactly where you want it.
