If it's just for one seed. 23 watt 6500k bulb will do. Just keep it 3 to 4 inches above the seed when it pops out. If you don't have a 6500k bulb 5000k will do. Best of luck with your grow.

That depends on how many seedlings and size of the space.

Dying and blackening seedlingDoes anyone know if this one will make it or what the cause of its death is? I’m not too upset I would just like to use it as a learning experience. It isn’t leaning on anything and is still supporting its own weight the angle isn’t doing it much justice so still hope?Week 2

Slow/stunted seedling, why?One seedling is stunted, why?
One of the seedlings is noticeably slower than the other, it’s leaves are curled under and there’s a brown spot on one of its Cotyledons.
The other seedling is being treated identically and seems to be thriving 😕 (last photo)6y ago

Can a 1000w LED grow light be closer than 60cm (24") to a seedling?Different sources are saying: 1000w LED light should not be closer to a seedling than 60-75cm (24"-30"). The seedling should be getting 5000-7000 lux, 100-300 PAR (PPFD 18h) and 12-20 DLI.
Question: Can I put the light closer at ~40cm, dimmed to match the needed lux, par and dliSetup. Lighting
