I had my HID on my seedlings are someone on the forum (who is the shit) told me to get that off them seedlings...ive also been told that it stresses the plant alot and cause more hermies...CFLs work great and are really cheap..that is what i used until i got my 3-4node and then i put that HID on the ladies....hope this helps, just trying to help as i made this same mistake...peace out
