In my opinion, they are ready for intense light once you see new growth.

Thats what i have been reading thank you for the reply

just be careful putting the lamp farther ( around 3 feet minimum) especially if when you put them under hps and you repot at the same time
small plants dont need much light, and if they need to make roots even less
peace

Right on man thanks alot i have them in 3gal and plan on leaving them in there, they have been in soil and under t5's for about 2 weeks now so i think im going to give it a shot

10 days for me. Repot and keep light an extra foot away for the first couple days/nights

I would make sure that they have at least 6 nodes before frying them with 250 or higher hps. Just saying.

yup. i put mine under a 600 after about 2-3 nodes are on them and i use a 125w cfl to start them off with. any problems with my grows arent due light screw ups. i just start my light 3-4' when i introduce the new plants and slowly lower it over the first week or so. no probs. heres one of my current plants

I put them in right away and adjust the height of the light because I am lazy and it works. I'm sure somebody can explain the benefit of having cfls a lot closer...but I'm lazy.
