You said Germinate.. that is a specific term.. you only need one 28 watt 6500k CFL to germinate 3 seeds effectively.

Save the MH for 2-3 weeks in..

One guys thinking..

Just run your lighting and equipment for 48 hours to see how hot it gets. You can also practice with lettuce seeds. Their super cheap and sprout quickly. No worries about excess lumens. Can't kill seeds with to much lighting. I personally use a 200w CFL. Now to avoid stretching stems keep them under lighting before they sprout. Yes it wastes electricity but the light keeps them warm and keeps them short and thick.
