Gear

Here is how I propagate my seeds (very useful in the dark wintertimes and in rainy & cloudy periods). I use the following stuff:

2 Megaman flourescent plant-bulbs, 15W
1 banana cartboard box
1 mini greenhouse

The bananabox is beeing repapered with white sheets, which act as excelent reflectors. When the seedlings get to a certain size, i will put on the dome on the mini-greenhouse. I open the plastic sheet over the seedling a couple of times a days to air out. The megaman bulbs works quite fine, but I give them some real sunlight when the weather is on my side..

Also, if the box is kept in a cold room, you can easily put a heat-mat under it (adjust with some wooden boards or something like that).

These pictures should explain most of it:
