Yeah im a big fan of CFL for seedlings too. Currently having a little experiment to see what can be achieved with a 130w CFL. Usually just give them 2 weeks but bloom room not ready yet so they're just getting left to do their thing. It's going remarkably well so far. Quite surprised with the results.Also... I am not familiar with LED lights... but I know from experience, seedlings don't want an HID yet, that's for sure! They are fragile, and need to be treated like babies. A tiny CFL light will help your seedling grow better
I had mine under 150w HID and it hurt them.. Switched to CFL and they love it. Also, put clear plastic cups over them as seedlings, and spray cup with mist couple times a day. Seedlings love really high humidity, which most ppl accomplish this way.
