Three days after placing the seedlings in the horticubes they are really doing great.

These seedlings will remain in the cubes until at least four true leaves have developed, or, a strong root system is growing out of the cubes.

Normally, I use a 24" T5, 6500k, fluorescent light for seed starting, as I only start a dozen or so at a time. I only use one of the 90 watt red/blue LEDs when I have a lot of seeds to propagate, however, when I do use one, there is a considerable difference in growth rate.
