Is 30" too close for 14 day old seedlings? Started at 45" then kept lowering till now. The light is 500w MH, 1000w dimmed 50%. I usually start with my 125w cfl but I broke the bulb same day my shit came out of the paper towels. Anyone else start with an hid lamp?
My temps are golden, not an issue. 73-77f and I have a hurricane outtake fan and oscillating fan on 24/7.
Also how do they look for 14 days? do these looks Bout right for 13 or 14 day old seedlings should I be worried?? I been having low humidity since they popped, 30% will the lower RH cause them to take longer to really start growing/ taking root?

i've read this question 1000 times over, and the answer is always the same...
"seedlings don't require very much light at all" basically overkill...
i'd just grab a couple 23 watt 6500k cfl's for another week or 2, but if you are set on it as is, just keep it way backed off. yr plants leaves will tell ya if its not liking it, or when its ready for more.
