is it safe to have new seedlings under a 600 watt MH? the lamp is 36" above the tops of the seedlings. The reflector is air cooled and my temp is ~77-80F.

I'll get some pics this afternoon. Its bag seed started in a Burpee germination tray. I just put the seeds in the wet plugs.
I plan on growing with a soil / perlite mix (i was thinking maybe 60/40) and transplanting to 4in. pots once the roots are well established and then to 3 gallon conatiners.
And yes it is a MH conversion lamp for my 600 watt digital HPS system.
The room itself is a small six foot tall box I built. For ventillation I have a twin window fan bringing in fresh air and a 500 cfm inline fan pulling hot air from the refclector.

I actually did pop these with the MH on. I got the germ tray and watering mat at lowe's
Here's the pics.
The cabinet has a velcro closure I made myself with a vinyl shower curtain and two layers of 8 mil black plastic.

wanted to post an update with pics from day five and six, but my internet went down.
today I'll try to post pics as I transplant these into 16oz cups. The Burpee tray is much to shallow for a deep rooter like mj, I don't know if I'll try it again.
