Post #1008

Could someone tell me if there are certain lights you're suppose to use to start seeds? Also, would the same lights work to overwinter herb plants that I'd like to keep healthy and useable in the winter time?
I've been using flourescent lights...just regular 40 watt flourescent bulbs in them, and the herbs I have in pots are either dying off or all wilty-looking. I moved them to a South window a couple weeks ago, but there's just not enough sun here. This winter has been too cloudy. They look a little better, but not by much.
I need to figure out my lighting before I start my seeds or I know I'll have the same problems. Help!!!
