Building a Grow Light

Building a homemade grow light stand is cheap and easy. It will cost about $26. You will need an 8 foot 2x4, 8 screws, a couple wood scraps, and a fluorescent light fixture. Master Gardener Tom Mashour shows how to put it together. Grow stands provide the light seedlings need to grow before it gets warm enough to put them outdoors in the spring. They can also be used to provide light to plants you bring in for the winter.
