They're inexpensive, easy to set up, and perfectly good for seed-starting. There's a quite detailed thread about that in Tiny Farm Forum: <a href="http://tinyfarmblog.com/forum/topic.php?id=25#post-80" rel="nofollow">Seed starting under lights</a>. That should have enough info to get you started, and if you need it, you can look up more info from there. Hope that helps!
