I bought 2 75w Philips agro lights for The Home Depot. Are these good for starting off and vegging seedling? I know there has been some issues with the bulbs torching the plant and soil due to poor ventilation. That aside are they good for vegging plants quickly?

Are you talking about these http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=202766841&storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&ci_sku=202766841&ci_kw=%7bkeyword%7d&kwd=%7bkeyword%7d&cm_mmc=shopping-_-googleads-_-pla-_-202766841&ci_gpa=pla#.UGyKa5jA-rk if so NO they wont do much at all, they are incandescent flood bulbs with a stupid color filter.......RETURN them and buy cfl's at the highest wattage/most bulbs you can afford(6500k/5000k/2700k)whatever......good luck

I third that! I'd also like to add that when you shop for your CFLs that you look at the actual wattage and not the equivalent wattage. IE: 100 watt equivalent bulbs are really 23watts actual draw.
