Dude, you need to get lights on it the second it pokes through the soil, rock wool or whatever medium you are using. Use CFL's or HID lights only.

would a 400W HPS light work?

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L

Getter on there.

Get it about 24 inches from the tops with a fan blowing at the light and by the tops of the plants. Watch the temperatures closely. Make sure it does not get hotter than 85 degrees.

Get some CFL's on it in the mean time.
It could die with no light.
