Hey exotic, Cfl's are definately the way to go for seedlings. I have 1 42w CFL per 4 plants and that is perfect. Cfl's dont get hot so you can put them right up next to the leaves. If you goto homedepot then look for the bigger 100w-200w. Those are your best bet if you plan to grow a large garden. Email me if you need Advice [email protected] .... I am a member of the NAACP....
