awesome thanks so much!yep, they'll be fine.
i've had plants nearly touching CFLs not burn. not to mention a few touching my shop light not really get burned at all.
once they get outside they'll grow like crazy even if they get a little burnt.
that's a great idea if you want your plants to have a 90 degree bend in the stem and be unstable when you plant them upright again.lay the cup on its side, may sound weird but if your soil doesn't fall out its a good idea
