Is a 14w CFL and a 60w Daylight blue lamp Okay for vegetative state?

  1. I have a small indoor grow right now, i'm usually an outdoor grow person but i'm trying to get a jump start this year with my plants. 

    In the corner I've got a seedling, just popped out a few days ago, It's under a 
    \n14w Ecosmart 5,000k Daylight CFL. It only gives off 800 lumens, but the second light is a
    \n60w daylight blue lamp. Full spectrum (UVA). It's a light from my old lizard cage, but it has worked well with my seedlings in the past. I just added the CFL, I plan on going to pick up a newer CFL with higher Lumens. am i on the right track? thanks in advance.
     

     
  2. Those will work for a little but I'd just go to the store and pick up 4 23watt 6500k cfls. The dollar store I went to had them for 3$ each but you can get them pretty much anywhere.

    Yup, definitely on the right track, but as Deepthree suggested, add more CFL's. You will want more than 5000 lumens if possible.
