Is 14w LED BULB enough for seedling?

[ETHERR]

Hi there im a new grower and was just wondering if a 14w LED bulb warm white 2700k is enough light for a seedling currently on day 15

What’s that ... 100W equivalent? You’re pushing the envelope. You’ll want to get it more soon.

Yes equivalent to 100w I do have a cfl 12w aswell but not sure on how much watts a seedling needs

15 days from first set of leaves?
How does it look?
By 3 weeks you should be seeing significant growth.

when growing hydro mind you i have been doing this for 15 years lol i sprout harden off with a t5 for 2 weeks then bang straight into a grow room on a 4 week phase you dont need to harden off you can go straight in along as it well vented and a constant 28c

What’s the long term plan for this plant?
If you have the light, use it.

Not too close. It doesn’t need intensity yet. Just more light.

 

[drsaltzman]

Also, shut them off for 6 hours a day. You want it to stretch a little.

 

[drsaltzman]

It’s gonna be real tough to finish it with those lights though.

Probably better off to put it near a window.

Use the LED and buy this on Amazon or Home Depot for $10,

Hang it directly over your plant at around 12" and it will be fine temporally.
Oh, and your seedling needs some food ( a lite dose of Miracle Grow if you have nothing else) and some moisture (soil around plant seems dry)
Good luck

Too close, your going to cook your plant.
Back the bulbs off to around 8".

I used one of those bulbs for my seedling. No issues at all. If anything I think I used a 60 watt equivalent to be honest. Same 2700k.

Cut the plastic diffuser cap off the min LED bulb

So it looks like this.then put it directly above your seedling and have a fan blowing across the top of the plant and the bulbs light to the plant.
