I have 3 seedlings in solo cups all broke the surface under 3 days ago. the light I have in my tent is a viparspectra par1200 (1200watt LED). Should I be putting them under this already or is it too intense? The guide given by viparspectra for the amount of light for seedlings is 60% veg and 30% bloom.
is my light ok for seedlings?

I use an led and was told it would be too strong a light for seedlings. I just start it off really high above and move it closer if I start to see them getting to stretched out and skinny. I'm sure someone that uses a similar light to you will be able to help you more.

Yes its not a bad led, but its not actually 1200w, i think that one 600w max, you can use it for the whole cycle, whwn they are seedlings try and keep them about 18 inches above the top

That light has TONS of options for intensity. Start out at 25% on the veg switch and go up from there.
