I need to set up a small grow light system to maintain small some desert rose plants over the winter. The larger plants go into dormancy, but I'd like to keep the small ones growing throughout the winter. They don't need to flower. And if I knew what I was doing, it would be good. I have $100 of free gift cards from Lowes, so I need to get everything there. I have a small space, 4' x 1 1/2" shelf to use.

Any help you can give me would be great.

I was planning on getting 2 2-light T8 fixtures. That's about the only T8 fixture they have. http://www.lowes.com/pd_163719-13537-163719_4294896174_40?pr...

My problem is which light to get. Here are my options:
GE 32-Watt Sunshine T8 Item 133047 - http://www.lowes.com/pd_133047-371-89069_0_?newSearch=true&r...
GE 2-Pack Premium Cool White 32-Watt T8 Item 237961 - http://www.lowes.com/pd_237961-371-73899_0_?newSearch=true&r...
GE Daylight 32-Watt T8 Fluorescent Item 154515 - http://www.lowes.com/pd_154515-371-29566_0_?newSearch=true&r...
GE 32-Watt Kitchen & Bath T8 Fluorescent Item 232241 - http://www.lowes.com/pd_232241-371-49357_0_?newSearch=true&r...
GE 2-Pack Residential 32-Watt T8 Fluorescent Item 227095 - http://www.lowes.com/pd_227095-371-31231_0_?newSearch=true&r...

I know it's a lot to ask, but could someone please give some advice. Thanks so very much.
