    It's way overkill and too much light can kill seedlings faster than anything. I would just use a CFL (as bad as I hate them), or some shop lights.

    I have done it before, but like Potpimp stated it is over kill and a waste of hydro. You would have to keep them at a slightly farther distance too, but that was said also lol. Actually, I don't even know why I am writing this - anyways, hope all goes well!

    put the light like 2 foot above it and have a dome over it for a few weeks should be fine but for about 20 bucks u can go by a T8 4 foot shop light that will do fine
