your seeds dont need the light to sprout, warm, dark area would be a better place for that. the intense light is drying out the soil too fast. once the sprouts come up, is when they need the light. sometimes it takes seeds over a week to sprout, so dont give up on em.
as long as you keep em warm and moist, things should come out ok.
you got a good grasp of what you are doing.
seeds dont need the light to sprout.
they need the light after sprouting up
you should be seeing sprouts any day
notanovice Reviewed by notanovice on . and yet again ok, my grow room is small, say 2.5 ft by 3ft by 8ft high Might be a little more.. not exactly sure. But i have three plants under one 400 watt HPS, along with a small fan to blow air around, in my closet. However, I used a cover to hang in front of the closet, so when the door slides shut the light does not leak out.. The ballast is off the ground, away from the plants a little bit, and the light is about 8-12" away from the pots.. Ive just started so they havent came up yet. The Rating: 5
