Lighting Seedling help

[rockerbe]

I've popped my first auto seeds and have a few questions re: lights for seedlings. I have a 3x3X6 tent and can either use one of my Autocobs out of the gate or some less powerful LED strip lights that I also have available. If I have the autocob as far away from the seedlings as possible will it be too much light? Also, I am wondering if the seedlings can handle 24/0? Thanks!

IMHO I would use the LED strips for the fist few days and 24/0 is ok as long as the humidity is 60% or better. After the first true leaves then go to your autocob at 30 inches above the seedling on 18/6.

You can go to 20/4 at 36 in , , and as Man O Green said 60 % humidity . I go as high as 70 % in the first 2 weeks , but I do have climate control and 9 cob lights Cree cxb3590 in a 1.5 x 1.6 x 2.4 meter room . What will help you to , with your cobs try and work on no more than 14 inch center to center ideal is 7 inch , but mate who can afford that , I run 14 inch .

I've found if you put the autocob about 24'' away seedlings grow just fine @ 24/0.
