Yeah, hooray for Starbucks!
Nothing wrong with using what would otherwise be tossed into the work garbage, right?

Don't answer that - or my phone for me, lol---

The lights are lowered to as close as possible to the seedlings' leaves - <= one inch is perfect;

At only 40 watts each, even their intermingling with the leaves is completely appropriate and
there is never any leaf burn or whatevers and they never become leggy!
Of course, they have to come up gradually, as the plants HAVE TO grow,
but the legginess, regardless, is surely the least it can be!

The lack of burn possibility may be not true of NEW bulbs, butt I doubt that it'd be a concern.
Prolly find out the hard way someday. For NOW, 'Leaves n' Lights' it is!!! eg
