A little help for a REALLY new grower(Northern Lights Autos')

Hi . I started 2 Northern lights Auto seeds last week and I lost one of them to a stem breaking accident but the other 2 look really good although they ARE still really young seedlings.My problem is this:I am growing on a real tight budget.I get paid on Friday coming and am going to by enough 6500K CFL's to finish the Vegging.Right now (Tuesday afternoon) I have only ONE 25W bluespec CFL which is placed an inch away from my 2 seedlings.My question is,will my seedlings be Ok until Friday with the 25Watt bulb?? Will it harm them in the long run? I mean I have them in a tiny little plastic box with the light and it looks like the bulb is enough light for the seedlings at the moment and the light seems to be bathing them quite wall.It's only another 3 days but I AM worried and I don't have the cash really to buy more seeds & yes I know I shouldn't of started them without the lights..........Any advice and answers to my Q's would be greatly appreciated.I have posted pics for u to have a look at the seedlings.

Since you don't get paid just yet...I guess you don't have a choice. KWIM?

Also...rotate those seedlings so they even out.

Good luck!

Breeder?? Wt do u mean??

If u mean WHERE did I get the seeds,Im in the Uk and bought them from an online seedbank called Rhino seeds.Really great little online distributor.

Aye up Guntarget, just a quckie..IF you can position your build Horizontally(Tips are dead spots) Don't give off hardly any usable Lumens from the Ends.

Just started My KC45 Autos, sat me window enjoying the sun...

Oh and Welcome to R.I.U.

Peace

meant BULB, can't even Edit Posts now????????????

The best Place for Cheap CFL(Veg - 5000 - 6500k etc) is FleaBay...Though for the 2700K(IF you sticking with CFL) is ASDA 30w(True) £3.15 or £3.75...Baked and been a stressful day...Some Growers use Both during Veg and Flower and swear by it...I've done it 3:1 Ratio Or 4:2 Ratio.

Peace

Cheers cc102...Ive been on fleabay and have seen a few decent priced bulbs on there but I foundthis little hardware shop just round the cornerfm me that sells up to 65W(Ithink) and he's REAL cheap.But I'm wanting at least a couple of 2 or 300W bulbs so do you know any high street type shops that sells larger Wattage 1ns like those? because I like to avoid Ebay when possible...By the way cheers 4 the welcome mate.

THought Id bump this to see let people see how its going and to keep a wee record of my grow.My 2 girls seem really healthy for a first grow but since it IS my very 1st Im very vervous about doing something wrong I had them in Miracle grow potting soil from seed but after seeking advice I changed to a soil thats Dutch called 'soft mix' I got from the HydP store and bought some Vegging Nutes called Flairform Greendream 1 which I have seen that no-one who's used it has a bad word to say about it.If anyone has used this before I'd love some input.Ive got the 2 plants growing in a cupboard thats about 3x3ft wide and 5-6ft tall and ive got them under 5 26Watt CFL's which i think is enough light for 2 small plants like this.Ill give them more as they grow..Im gonna fit a carbon filter to a hole i'll cut out of the door so i can close the cupboard door.......Id love some advice on just about a'thing really as im a noob and this is my very 1st grow......Here's the Pics taken today.........
