How much light after seed sprouts?

This is my first time germinating seeds and i was wondering after the seeds sprout which some already did how much light would i give them and what size cfl bulbs should i use? and how long till i start seeing the stem?

use the 26 watt daylight 6500k for vegging. I do 8 on Y splitters for 8 seedings. they are 1600 lumens each. don't forget to get a small fan cause it does get warm. good growing, aloha

Ya can use a 4 foot shop light with 40 watt bulbs

Keep light on 24/7 the first week or two and keep them very close. like an inch or two above the plants. Then switch to a 20/4 light cycle.

A t-12 set up is cheap and works.

I have this set up I use from time to time.



They can grow into it for a few hours to a day they stay cool.

My set up is (4) 24" T-12's 20 watts each at 6500k it's a light blanket.

I also have some 2600ish k's (don't use but may add to my hps room for some side lights).
These thing may be old school but you can not f--- it up.



===================================================================

these are 26 watt cfl's





====================================================

under the 400 watt mh



======================================================

it grows under all the above just faster with more lights.
