Germination/Lift Off
From what I am reading light is only needed for warmth for the first 7-10 days. They may be leaning but this will be remedied in a few more days when the true leaves appear. I will then expose them to the fluro's!
So here is part of the article.
Your Cannabis Seedling's First Few Weeks
During the first few weeks of their lives, seedlings are a bit delicate and won't be able to withstand full-strength lights or nutrients. They need to have a moist environment, but can easily be drowned. With seedlings, less is more. You want to give them just a bit of plain water at first or feed them with maybe a quarter the amount of nutrients to start.
"If you plan on eventually putting them under some high intensity lights, you will want to start them out with either florescent tubes or some compact florescent bulbs. These lights are extremely cheap, are easy on your electric bill, and can be found at your local hardware store. You will want to keep the florescent lights about 4 inches away from your plants until they've developed their first two sets of leaves, then you can move the lights as close as an inch away as long as the lights aren't too hot. If the light feels too hot to your hand, then it will feel too hot for your marijuana seedling. Make sure to keep a close eye on your seedlings to ensure they don't grow too close to the lights and burn themselves. If new seedlings are showing signs of stress, try moving the lights further away and see if that helps.
Once marijuana seedlings are about fourteen days old, they're ready to be start being treated as if they're in the vegetative stage".
But don't take my word for it for there are many other methods to utilize. Everyone interprets information differently so there you have it.
