@vostok mentioned above ... Go get some CFL bulbs throw them close and leave on. You can run this temporarily and give your plants a chance to survive. Run at 24/0.
CFL bulbs run at very low electrical use , so it will pan out in the long run. This way if you got to leave they are ok. Plus , stop heavy watering ... Mist them every few days , no need to drown them ... They are young.
Once you setup your tent or whatever , you can start the 18/6 light cycle. These young seedlings wont suffer too much from your wonky light schedule ( some light , no light , i forgot ) just stick to plan.
I start all of my seedlings under good ol CFL - just to get the " seedling stage " over with then when they get maybe second set of tru leaves or so .... I move them to their Tent home.
So these plants sprouted about 2 weeks ago. I know they look a few days old. I've just had them under a 85w cfl, but they have not had a steady or constant light cycle. I mean when ever I get a chance to turn my light on they get light. Probably only around 16 hours a day maybe 14, if lucky. Then I also took a 4 day vacation where they didn't get any light besides window light in the dead of winter. I ordered a grow tent. I already have lights. Not clf, but leds my wife won't let me use untill I get a tent, but today I find out my tent won't be here till a week longer than expected. So my question here is should I just keep these things alive till I get my room up and going or start over. I have plenty of seeds to start germination over and sprout right when the tent gets here and have a fresh start. Then I have these plants that will be 3 weeks old looking like 3 days old.
