Thanks for the advice stinky much appreciated. I thought the grolux offered enough of both for both vegetation and flowering, but I guess seedlings react a bit different than in the stages of veg and flowering? well, that was the reason why I went with the grolux, quickly finding everyone has an opinion, I've read a lot of your posts stinky, so I owe you a debt of thanks already!

Thanks again ;-)
