OK I germinated some seeds and planted them everything good except I dont have any uv lights so the plants are sitting on a window right now but theres not much light, my question is will a regular light bulb work like a GE 40 watt light bulb? If not I think I'm going to home depot tonight to pick up a uv bulb there like 7 bucks.
No. House hold light bulbs are useless, just like UV light. Surf the grow forums and/or use the search enigne. There are lots of postings about suitable lighting. Peace.
i'm trying to grow in a computer case right now once they get bigger in like 2 weeks I'll move them to a filling cabinet will this work http://www.homedepot.com/prel80/HDU...ID=ccecadclkfdgedkcgelceffdfgidgmk.0&MID=9876
that link doesnt work heres what it is Philips Earth Light® 20 watt Electronic Lamp Warm White. 1200 Lumens. 10000 Average Hour Life. Mfg P/N SLS 20.
Get like 4 or 5 of those and you should be good for the first couple of weeks. After that I think you should consider getting a HPS. [EDIT] Just saw you picked a warm white there, you should get a cool white. Warm white's are used for flowering and the cools for vegging in CFL grows. There are quite some nice threads on CFL grows around here. Hit the search button...
