My new herb Garden
 
Followed this guide to make the light: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs_QRorECvo

Only used 26watt 6500k CFL bulbs though, well see if they are powerful enough for the plants to fully grow.

All in all it cost me about 70$ or so to buy 8 different packs of seeds, the pots, potting soil, build the light, tray, timer, cord, etc.

Sage, Cilantro, Basil, Rosemary are the back row.

oh and for any of those curious, the Thyme and Oregano sprouted in 5 days, the Basil 6 days, Marjoram is just coming through the dirt, nothing from the rest. All ahead of schedule thus far.

The thing that the lights are in are a metal/reflective hood... I thought about that but probably wont until they start to get bigged and i find it necessary.. the light blasts pretty good right now

Word.

Looks good tho! Cold air is also your friend, as well as a constant wind to strengthen the stalks, so a fan or two is definitely rad.
