It depends on what kind of yield you want out of your beauties. I PERSONALLY wouldn't stick with that bulb, as it is unefficient, compared to fluorescents. A couple of CFL's will suit you better. If you wanna spend a bit more money and time, go with a PL-L fluorescent setup, that's better too.

I can't give you a link to a site, because I don't really want to get a warn (again!). But I can show you a picture.

Any of those will work for you. (But they HAVE to be fluorescent to get the most out of your money)

It could still grow, yes. But I'm pretty sure that you'd want the best out of your beauty, so it's all your call.

if it just sprouted, anywhere from 16 Light hours/8 Dark hours to 24 light hours could work.

Good luck!
