<p>Look at the Artificial Lighting group, they may have some ideas for you.</p>

Thanks for the info TCLynx, Luckily, I have a home depot down the street from me so when I mess up, it doesn't take long to fix lol. I have been trying to keep this system as inexpensive as possible, that is why I have been shying away from buying lights, but it seems as though I will need them.<br></br>

You will want to make the height adjustable so you can raise it as things grow.</p>
