Lights are not needed until it sprouts. I use a t5 light for seedlings.
I don’t have a t5 I have a bs 40watt led light will that work.

The light you posted is fine for seed starts, clones. It doesn’t matter much.

Light will not make them germinate and sprout. Lol.
Like I mentioned in an earlier post.......light isn't necessary until it sprouts.

We told him already.. LOL
Try the portion cup method. Just like the paper towel. Take a Portion cup or Petri dish ..Place 3 layers of paper towel inside...wet it.
Place the seeds in there...and cover with lid...Ghetto version? LOL
I take one of the Hundreds of Pill bottle lids I have and just place saran wrap over and place it IN A WARM DARK PLACE. This method works better for ME! It's no different from paper towel Ziploc but the seeds perform better to me.
Plus they pop up with room to sprout leaves instead of being compressed and sticking to the paper in the Ziploc
Now Start Listening to someone here and get those seeds Germinated LOL

FWIW - Check out this video of an experiment in different germination techniques. Like him, I have had much faster results with just planting the seed, skipping the water bath, skipping the paper towel, etc. The only downside, though, is if it doesn't sprout you can't tell if it's a dud or just slow...
