My advice would be to start over and keep a light on them BEFORE they pop the soil surface. Ideally they should look like THIS. The pic is after 2 days above the soil.

400W is to much waste for tiny seedlings. My advice to start them under some CFL's and then turn the 400 on when they're about 2 weeks old. Personally, I use Overdriven 4ft. shop lights. That's what you see mine under in the picture. You can see that the tray in the back is elevated so they are about 1 inch from the bulbs. Those other two trays sit right beside it but I pulled them to the front for a pic.

If you're not too concerned about wasting a little power than YES, absolutely start them under the 400. Now just to clarify, when you germinate use the paper towel method. Put them in a covered bowl, BETWEEN wet paper towels, in a warm spot. As soon as you see a taproot plant them in the soil (taproot down obviously) about 1/2" down. Then put them under the light right away. Keep the light about 1-1.5 feet away. You'll be much happier the results.

Damn Killer, with that light running it looks like pretty sweet setup. You should be be able to to pull at least a QP on you first run, if not more. Keep us updated, and keep the questions coming.

Now that I'm sober I have to agree with Inverted, Smoke and of course MushMan. Just plant them deeper. I totally overlooked this technique last night in my drunken stupor. Definitely DON'T start over. I'm kicking myself for even saying that now.
