I highly recommend you get a 4 ft T5 to start your plants for the first 2-4 weeks.. It's much much easier to work with than LED's. Move them under the LED's after 2-4 weeks. Seedlings are extremely hard to get the right light levels because LED's cause light hotspots that you just wont get with the T5, and they love to grow towards the warmth from the T5's bulbs. Get one and you wont be disappointed
