Was wondering whats the best cycle?I have 10-26w 6500k CFLs and 2 4ft tubes 6500k and 2 4ft tubes 2700k. All 6 of my plants have just sprouted in the past 3 days and I was wondering the best light cycle to put them on.Also is that to much light this early?

does your thermometer say 40C or 40F? If it says 40C thats way too hot, you wanna keep temps under 90F (32C) else it will stunt plant growth. You can run as many lights as you want in the beginning, but seedlings are sensitive to heat, which is why most people will recommend only a few lights for indoor seedlings.

Its at about 78f......That 40 is humidity.So as long as the plants are not getting burned I would be ok with that much light?

Oh, you don't really have lamp reflectors. Looks fine if your temps are good.
