In combination with the heat from a light, possibly. For small seedling, a week or two at most Where is the furnace? It could be as easy as knocking a hole in some duct work and installing a register. The ground around a basement is a good insulator and if you take some simple steps towards making it energy efficient it will be easy to heat. Insulate the band board, seal all air leaks etc.


You won't need any until your plants are a few weeks old so you have plenty of time to do research and decide on nutrients.
You should only water when the plants need it. Knowing when that is priceless. You could get a moisture meter, then you would know, know. The number one problem for new growers, at least it was for me, is overwatering and the second is underwatering. I'd want to know, know.


The floro's will work for small seedling and vegging plants, barely, no more than that. I use them to 'slow grow' my clones. You will want more light then that eventually. You do have a few weeks for research. You should get the blue spectrum bulb, as close to 6500K as you can get where you are. I bought mine at Menards for like $5.00's each.
