When should light be first introduced?? Help!!

[johnb]

I'm a total noob to growing please forgive my stupid questions
I've searched this forum for info but there's sooo much info on here I can't find what I need.


I've succesfully cracked 4 seeds (2 white widdow, 2 aroura indica)
using paper towel method
used bio-buzz light mix soaked with water (distilled)
made a small hole with a match 2-3mm dropped seeds in root side down
and lightly covered, then a little few drips of water.

My question is should the be put into light straight away
what light should be used in early stages
currently using a 200w cfl round bulb it's very hot Though??

I have a bulb it's 600wattwith canopy for veging not sure what type it is??

once the cotyledon leaves open up; it's ready for light. fluoro tubes are excellent for this, the first 3 weeks.

6500k is best

I gave them 18 hours of light already after planting
should I leave them in darkness and cover with cling film plastic to keep moist?
until the first set of leaves show

[BackWoodDrifter]

keep humidity moist and yual can leave lights off till the break soil then light light at first as seedlins they dont need to much light just keep under yur 4 foot flos should be good to go pilgrem.
