Thanks for all the good advice!  Has anyone made purchase of an LED setup that they like?  I've done a little looking and there are a lot on the market of questionable quality if the negative reviews are to be believed.

Thanks James!  I've been thinking about investing in a grow light situation anyhoo, this might just be the kick in the pants I need to do it.  When you say "agricultural light", so you mean one of the red coated lights, or one of the "daylight" varieties, or something else entirely?

Cheers!

Howdy!

I have recently moved to a new house with some really great west facing windows.  They are huge and get a lot of light in the afternoon.  I've always started seeds in south facing windows, but the south facing windows in my new place are mostly blocked by trees.  Do you reckon there would be enough hours of light to get the standard veggie starts (tomatoes, peppers, brassicas) going next year?  Is it time to bite the bullet and invest in a fluorescent or LED setup?  If so, any particular products you recommend I should put on my Christmas list?  I'm in zone 8b, in Seattle WA.

Cheers!
