High Output 6500K fluorescent lamp that simulate natural sunlight making them ideal for plant cuttings or vegetative growth (full spectrum 6400 Kelvins of lighting temperature).

This will probably be ok for about a couple weeks, but you will definitely want to step the lighting up, IMO.
 
**update**

ok now i have 2 24" t5's and have converted my closet to a mini grow room, started germing seeds yesterday... only bagseed to see what happens, and got a bunch of pro mix soil, panda plastic(i believe that is what it is called) and some nuts for later
