Outdoor 1989.5 Daletas ’17 dmg: Emergence

Only about 100 hours (4.5days) from filing the seed and 72 hours (3 days) from germination the cotyledons are above the soil and expanding. These are under an HPS light which is the reason for the orange coloration in the image.

This may not be the ideal spectrum for the plants, but they are not under this light for very long so it severs the purpose of hardening the plant off so it is field ready. The ballast has a dimmer option and the height can also be adjusted allowing for a balance of light intensity and heat to be achieved.
