get yourself a 30 watt cfl. for now that will do till your plants get a couple of weeks old. Hang it above the plant about an inch over the baby. get your self a fan. and you should be good. don't give any nutes till she is older.

are you sure it was from heat? cfl's can usually be put 1-2 inches away without a problem. It could be nute burn.. are you using miracle grow soil?

no it was just some soil i bought from wall-mart..but i did put in 2 ( one inch) sticks of fertz...it was all fine until i moved the plant closer to the light ....thats why i was thinking it was heat.....either way is the plant going to live or should i start germinating more sees?

it'll live just be gentle with it. try moving the light a little further away and flush. and dont add any more nutes. But if it looks like its about to die you may want to add a tiny bit of superthrive (you can get it at walmart and other places) and that might help revive it.
