Thoughts on temporary indoor growth until warmer weather?

Hello growers!

I recently started a batch of bagseed i had from personal favorite smokes i saved. I tend to be more of a sativa guy than Indica unless i am using it as a sleep aid. Anyways! I started 20 bagseed in a paper towel, with a heating bad at a constant 90degress around it. To my surprise i had 95% germ rate, only one seed did not germ. Which was actually a problem because i cannot handle 20 plants... I picked the 7 longest and healthiest looking seeds and planted on April 4th-5th. This is only temporary until the weather improves so i can put my babies outside in the natural sun. I only have 2 26w Daylight CFL's hovering over the sprouts with water sources for increased humidity.

This is what the sprouts look like after only 4-5 days from being planted. Only one looks as if it is going to die for an unknown reason, all others look healthy to me. Please share any/all thoughts or any tips you would give to a first time CFL grower. I understand i need more light, but i do not want to invest for only another week or so? The closest sprout you see was actually plated 24hours ago as i came across a spare germinated seed in my trash haha :leaf: Thanks!

^ what he said. Try to keep the bulbs to within an inch (or so) of the top of the seedlings to minimise stretch.

Using a fan to blow wind across the stems will help strengthen them up for the great outdoors.
