Lighting

IM LOST! I have no idea what to do, I have germinated my seeds, I have 4 plants sitting in a box right now, tallest root is about 3-4 inches the others are between 1-3 inches, and I had this bright light with 60 leds in it, but it only last 5hrs before the light burns out,

It basically doesnt look like there growing right now I cant tell. all of them have 2 tiny leaves,

SO HERES MY QUESTIONS

1. I have this cheap discoball, with a bulb inside, im not sure how powerful it us, but when I turn it on, it get hot right away, am I risking a fire by using it?

2. On one of my plants, it has the 2 small leaves, yes, but on the tip of one of the small leaves, its like dried up brown, is that heat exposure?

3. how much light should I be putting on these babies?

4. What height should I wait for until i can tranfer them outside into the nice warm soil?

5. Any other advice or tips I should know?


:wall:



I can take pictures if it really helps answer my questions, THANK YOU!

Get like 4 of those 23 watt CFLs, and they'll work for the next week or so, then you will need to upgrade. :)

I have a question about this. Is 4 not enough for a single plant in a small box? I can't find anything at the local hardware/home improvement stores larger than 26w in the correct spectrum for veg.

If you have Menards around you they have 42w 6500k bulbs.
