Answer
Mary:
The little I know about using lights is that regular light bulbs is not good. The best is florescents called gro lux and second best is 1 warm white and 1 cool white together. Place 6" above plants and raise lights as plants grow. Herbs don't do well indoors unless some morning sun is added with circulating air and kept slightly moist. Rosemary is picky about indoors and basil needs 16 hours of light and 70 degrees plus. Good luck!
