    My guess would be over watering.. how much are you watering? Also take away that normal 100watt bulb.. it's doing nothign for ya...

    im watering it about once every 2 days, maybe 2 cups of water... and will the 80 watt be enough, I put the 100 watt for heat since it's near winter here

    also, two more plants have started growing around it.. 1 is about 3 inches high and the other is less than 1 inch, should I move them?

    Hi, ditch the regular bulb. You've probably got a heat issue going on burning that thing. They are not suitable for good grow. The two forty watt flo's are plenty of light for right now. Boost your airflow a little more if you can. A fan would help as well and be sure your getting air exchange. The flo's will work great within two inches of the plant tops. tc gm714

    Yea, that will work fine. I would situate it so that most of the airflow travels between the plant tops and the flo tubes. Only a minimal breeze is needed so low is good. Flo tubes are hotter at the ends so I try to keep my plants a few inches away from the ends of the tubes. I often use the circular tubes from Lights of America. They burn very cool and the plants love'em. tc gm714
