How much light for seedlings? When to use HID?

  1. I just got leaves coming out last night. I'm running them under a 3-foot long strip with two 6,000k/10,000k compact fluorescent bulbs, 96 watts each.

    Should I be running the full 192 watts, or just stick with 92 watts for now? It's not particularly hot under them either way.

    Eventually I plan on putting them under two 250-watt metal halide bulbs. How long should I wait to do that?

    You can do it right now. My girls have been sitting under a 400w MH from day one, now at 16" (distance to the light at 7 days) and lovin' it
     
  3. Good bulb. Should I be running the full 192 watts, or just stick with 92 watts for now? It's not particularly hot under them either way.
