    Seedling Light

    What light do you use for your seedlings once they sprout?

    I've been using General Electric 32W LEDs and they work very well.

      What's the total wattage? Do you use special plant bulbs or just shop ones?

      I use a Sun Blaze T5-HO-22 lamp fixture. It came with Spectrum bulbs. I looked at the specs for the light spectrum, 5000 lumens per lamp, 6500 K Blue and 3000 K red. I've not thought about the total wattage as I only use this fixture for seedling work. So my guess is somewhere around 24 watts per bulb? This fixture has 2 bulbs.
