I use HID's for seedling but I just hang the lights 4 or 5 feet above them. The light is not very intense on the young seedlings at that height and they do get some warmth from them. I leave the lights at this height till I see the second set of true leaves and then I drop the light to 16 inches above them and get the growing started.

CFL's would be fine but if you're not into buying anything extra then I'm just letting you know that you can work with what you have.

Really sorry to hear about your dad.

Sativagrowin Reviewed by Sativagrowin on . following in fathers footsteps To start off this thread i have to tell my story. My father recently died about 7 months ago due to a drunk driver. He was a very large pot grower. He has left me with some very nice supplys and decided to try and continue on the traditon. I have not had very much experience with growing except from what i saw him and his buddies do. He has left me with 7 1000watt sodium lights, all with timers, heat controls, and reflectors. So my question is, he has a bag of about 15 seeds labeld white widow Rating: 5
