Im presently at 8 weeks flowering my first grow (bagseed) so im not sure of exactly how long to finish, i'm guessing 9 weeks, im closely monoring the trichs with a 60x scope. I have some NEW seeds this time around, kiwiskunk & Motivation from Attitude seed banks and i want to start germing them NOW before present grow finishes to get a jump start on next grow. can i get 4 seedlings started with ONE 68w, 300w equivalant, 2700k cfl with light directed straight down on seedlings for a week or two before i put them under their 400w Mh lighting? Will this sustain the babys or is this a bad idea?? These seed cost $$$$$ not bagseeds so i dont want to F this up. Just trying to get a jump start on next grow.

I see alot of white hairs on those plants. I am guessing they are going to take more than a week more.
 
most of those pics are a week or two old, been flowering for 8 weeks. I cant see them taking more them 10 week to complete, so that would be two more week and hence my question,, will seedling be ok under 68w cfl for "TWO WEEKS".
 
You can definetly get your seeds going with that light it will be ok for two weeks maybe a little longer. Your current grow looks nice btw.
 
Yeah man, CFL's do great for veg from what I've seen and experienced so far. I've seen a nice looking plant that was vegged with only a 23w CFL.
