CFL or Bestva 2000 LED for seedlings?

[Bluephish]

You're the best! Thank you!

those have UV
yes they work well that is why as seedlings like "some" UV
they are phasing that type out here
they are handy to have around for cheap veg to small seedling light.

if you see leaves not pointed up which is best
they call it praying it is likely too much light from now on.
If so raise em a bit that is all is first thing to try.

Can not wait to see your Bestva up and running for peanuts really you said did you not or am I confusing you with someone else?
I am sure there are others with broken lights that would like the details.

I'll probably try the bestva when they get bigger. Dont want to screw up something that's working

 

[Bluephish]

Yes they will work perfectly fine

They look great! Still kinda streching along with "praying" leaves. Lights too high? Got rid of fungi gnats in less then 12 hrs by drying out soil. Should I add Neem as well? Thanks again for your help!

I usually keep my cfls within 2-3 inches from tops of babies

You could prob go even closer and it wouldn't hurt

I lowered a nip. Have you ever used Neem Oil?
Thanks!

Neem oil works well for bugs and fungus. If you don't have a problem with either, no need to use it.

I've still got a few fungi gnats and tiny orange/red bugs. Should I spray the soil? These plants are only a week old.

At one week I would not spray. Orange red bugs? Look at them closely. You may have mites. Some are good some are bad. If you can post a pic, there are a few guys here that will set you straight. Spraying the soil will kill both bugs. It will also kill off beneficial microbes in your soil so you will need to refresh your soil. Lots of options there. Many organic nutrients are loaded with them.

I do like my CFL.
