Thanks for all the help guys! I have sure learned a lot! I will be making a different forum for my grow because this one if getting a little off topic.

So to stay ON topic, I have one more question regarding lights. This is what I have learned.. during the Veg. stage, I should be using a 5500-6500k Daylight Bulb. Must be over 20w, but the more the better. I picked up 2 bulbs from Home Depot that are 100w Equivalent, but are really 27w. This is the largest I could find in the Daylight Spectrum. They are 1300 Lumens and are 5500k. I found some other bulbs are Tractor Supply that I think will work.. but want to check and make sure before I buy them. They are 300w = 65w, 6300k White Color, 4900 Lumens for $9.98 a piece. They fit in a standard light socket as well. Would these be a good buy? Say 2 or 3 of them on top of the two 27w I have?

Also, I can't seem to find a lamp or anything for them! The only lamps I can find are $15-20 bucks a piece, and the bulb is completely fitted like.. inside the housing. The only part of the bulb that is showing is the end. Where does everyone buy their fixtures for their CFL's?

Oh and the fert. I picked up is Miracle Grow again.. I know.. cheap. Walmart had another kind that was a little more expensive that was made with fish or something? That NGK was 5-1-1 .. would that have been better? The MG I got is 12-4-8.
