I recently purchased a grow light from amazon it is a T5 2 ft four tube high output fluorescent grow light. The light puts out 6800 lumens and here is some more info if needed:
Product Description
T5 Fluorescent Light System
4-lamp
120v/60Hz
0.74A
89W
Is this light too powerful for seedlings? I put it about 2 inches above some seedlings and it seemed to burn them all up. If i use CFL lights until the seedlings grow their first true leaves will i be able to position the light and inch or two above them? I know someone will say i should just raise the light but i didnt know how much to raise it and still benefit from it. I also cant burn anymore seeds up i just dont have enough seeds to spare and i cant stand seeing anymore burn to hell.
