Is 90 degrees too warm for seedlings? I have them under 2 foot fluorescent tubes. (Not sure the wattage). The reason it's so warm is cause my tents in the basement and its only 60degrees at the warmest and gets down to low 40 at night so I have a heater fan in my tent. My next question is should I keep the little desk fan (not the heater) blowing directly on the seedlings? They move but it doesn't seem to be too bad. Next question is how often. Should they be watered and should I spray the seedling it self? Is the fluorescent good to use for the whole vegging cycle or should I switch to my hps? When should I switch to my hps? I currently have them on a 18/6 schedule how crucial is it for them to have uninterupted darkness? I was also wondering if any one had experience with flower tabs and was wanting some opinions on those. I guess it's a Lil more than a few but I could really use the help. Thanks for any advice!!!!

I'm a little past the point this evening to type out answers for all that right now, but all that can be learned with about an hour's reading.

Thise temos are a bit on d warmer side of things imo..

Yes.. flros r fine for all of veg so long as u.keep them about 2 inches.or.so above.your plants..

Water when the.pots feel light when you pick them up..

18/6 is perfect for.veg.. absolutely no need for.darkness during veg..

You.can switch to the hps w/e you want or when the plants seem to be not getting enough light..

I have no.clue about tabs.. sorry.. that's all i got for now..

OK, tubes are ok for now, but I would suggest getting some CFL's to put around the sides when they start to get taller, and don't forget, if you're going to do some topping or FIM'ing, to do while in veg.
Do you have any idea what the Kelvin rating is?
You want 5000k or 6500k for vegging.

I usually try not to let my temps get below 65, or above 85.
Dark during veg, I don't think is as crucial as during flower, and 18/6 is fine.
That is what a lot of guys do, when using other bulbs fro veg, just to save a bit of electricity, and give the plants a little 'rest time' also.
Don't know what you mean 'flower tabs', can you enlighten?
