Whether it is close enough to the plants or not I do not know, but from the look of them they appear very healthy. You're obviously doing something right.

I just love it when people improvise so successfully, not in the least because it gives me good ideas.
 
yeh well the seedling have been under a 18w daylight tube up until now so im sure they will love the extra power
 
Got a nice crop going there Gary. When do they go outside in Scotland? Anytime after April here, but I'll bring them in if it might drop to the 30's at night.

HID's kick major ass, but probably too expensive for an extend the day light. Just get a CFL. 66F here right now and sunny. It's a fine day in Virginia.
 
i was thinking because it was only on for a few hours a day it would not be as expencive will have to think about it as hid is the best soarce of light
 
also have another question i have started 8 seeds in rockwool can you just put them in to soil after the roots show ?

Yes, just bury the whole cube. Gives you a chance to go deeper if seedlings are a little leggy.
