In my opinion, those lights get WAY to hot! There also may be other things like spectrum, lumens and other things to research.

Hey I havn't updated my journal in forever! I was just fucking around brotha, my 1000w setups from plug to bulb are about $500. And there is a point why they cost that much! People always try to go cheap on the lights and it is one of the biggest mistakes!

It don't matter if you have a life times worth of free bulbs for those flood lights THEY WILL NOT WORK!!!! The light spectrum & heat will destroy your seedlings.

That looks like a Halogen-based lamp. You CAN grow with security lights, but unfortunately not this type. You need a MH or HPS type security light. They usually have SON-T written on them.
