I have four really great plants I have flourishing.2 unknowns from a seed bank and two femmed widows. I germinated 8 more femmed widows. I thought I had the right lighting for them, the bulbs say t12 full spectrum 40 watt fluorescent bulbs. I bought from someone...I got ripped I think.one is bright white the other was a warmer tone. The widows are looking way to tall to me, they are standing fine but thin, do not want to mess around. What do I need to buy right now .to put them under until they r ready for the tent.my other's will be coming out in 4 weeks. I went to home depot bought what I thought was the same as the bright white one, but got back and was the same as the warmer one I had already. they hate it they all turn there heads way toward the brighter better light.I have never ordered from internet and have 0 in this town...prob why the weed is crap around here.hence why I started this first grow.:evil::mrgreen::blsmoke:where is a trusted site I can order from and what do I need to get.on the better side for my new seedlings.i want to veg for a long time well I vegged my other ladies for 2 months and they really nice into flower.im waiting on a new camera some shit stole mi new one,then i'll post some pics.thanks again.

OK... You want the 6500 K rating for your lamps in Veg... Home Depot carries them... Maybe add a few CFL's around your plants [also sold at HD] Get CFL's in the 6500K rating also... You can buy light splitters where one socket turns into two... Good Luck man... Plants will respond with as much light as you can give them...

The color temp of the bulb is not your problem. It is the intensity. If the plants are stretching, you need to move the lights closer/provide more.
