You can get all this crap at Wal-Mart
But don't expect any employee to know what you are asking for, you'll have to find it on your own. Just ask where the surge protectors are, everything else but the bulbs should be found on the same aisle.

Keep your sprouts in the light!
thank you all for helping me!
i've now got 5 sprouts! see the pics, the 3 came out overnight, 1 is just barely out of the soil though...the 2 oldest ones seem to be stretching considerably. but the light is at the very top of the box and the plants are at the very bottom, so i understand i need to raise the plants, but i just gotta figure out a way to do it lol.
look at the pic

Cheetah2007-thanks! i'm trying
joefish- i'm trying not to be too protective of them, but its hard
i water them once every 2 or 3 days and i usually dont look at them unless i water them
PICS- notice in the pics that a couple of the plants are laying over but growing back up towards the light...all my stems have stretched horribly, which i will fix when i repot them by putting soil all the way up to the first 2 leaves (cant remember what they're called). let me know what you think! suggestions are always welcome! thanks!
