This doesn't make sense to me, first you said you had a sprouted seedling, then say it has not come through the soil yet....

Anyway you don't need the 600W yet, way overkill, just put t under some CFLs for a couple weeks.

When you put them in the wet paper towel and you see that nub, it's called germination. You then, put that in soil and when it's above soil it's called a sprout.

85 already is insane, your going to need a solution. I can't help because I don't know your setup. Just a 600w hps doesn't help at all.

clones, seedlings and up to about a foot tall plant only need hardly shit for light. Like a couple of daylight cfl's and your gold.

I pretty much concur with other opinions before me, I use 220 watts of true cfl for the first two weeks of growth, I go to Walmart and get true 55 watt cfls and place one per plant. After about 2 weeks I turn on my 400 watt hps and dim it to 50% (200 watts). This gets the plants accustomed to a more intense light, After about 3 days to a week I up to 300 watts (75%) and a few days later I up it again till full power is used, What concerns me is that If your having a temperature issue now then you will again after you reinstate the 600 watter , I would get that issue taken care of now before your plants can use the 600. because a temp issue now will be one later, I would invest in some good ventilation fans so you can get your temps down to a max of about 81.5 F. Good luck :)

85/90 in veg, just wait until you switch to flowering. LOL!!!!!!! 10*+ hotter guaranteed. and a t8 6500k is all you need for seedlings, or cfl's. that 600 will cook them.

well then sadly your grow might not work. its like trying to make a ham and cheese omelet, but don't have the ham to make it properly. you can still make the grow happen, ditch the 600w light and run cfl's or t5's/t8's, or led if you have a lot of coin to buy an led fixture.

I'm lazy,I use my 600 from day 1 . I run it on low watt and high as I can go.
I grow hydro 12x12fs.I got good exhaust,finally added an intake and temp dropped way lower than I thought.

I've got 3 400watt MH's in the Veg.
3 1000watt HPS in the Flower.
I also have 2 centrifugal exhaust blowers to keep it all cool, and A/C for the summer time.

If your gonna use HID's you just about need some sort of temp control method.
