skervy is right. As long as you have the babies a good distance from the light while they are young, say the first 7 to 14 days from sprouting, then they will be fine. Before lowering the light to optimal distance you rearly want the second set of leaves to have developed well first.

That's perfect for your seedlings!! Plenty of light and very low heat. You can keep those lamps inches away from the tops with NO problems. They will love you for it! Pic is last plant I grew about 2-3 inches away. The leaves even grew into the bulb at one point and it didn't burn them. Just look at that happy little girl.

Yes, that's the right spectrum for vegging your plant. 5500 is a full spectrum bulb that promotes overall plant growth. When you flower it, you'll want a warm spectrum bulb, 2700.
