Best light for seedling & veg

[MrHPotter]

I’ve alrwady got a 60x60 tent however that’s in use and on the 3rd week of flowering so I still won’t be able to use this space for atleast another 3-5 weeks including drying. So I wondering while I’m waiting for this I may aswell start a seedling and just grow it very slowly. In my 60x60 I have a 400w HPS and the heat is already very difficult to handle, what light can I get that’s around 50-100 hps even lower and smaller if possible maybe even like a small led light just to get the seedling going or would it just die?

Sorry if this doesn’t make sense lol

Use a fluorescent. Seedlings love fluorescent and the mild heat is perfect for them. I swear by my T5, but for one seed even a couple of 23 watt CFL's will take it a long way.

You think I would be able to keep the plant alive for atleast 5 weeks using this? Until I throw it into the tent?

I don’t expect it to grow massive or flourish just saves me abit of time really

I love my T5 HO for seedlings, it works great for veg as well.

46 watts of CFL from 2 sides will keep you going for 5 weeks, sure. It won't be ideal, but if you keep the lights close it shouldn't stretch.
