new grower with questions!!!

as i have bagweed growing, but did it very sketch.

so i'm going to begin a new harvest i suppose.
i'm am going to use rubbermaids. i have been reading a grip of info
but still do not understand lighting.... when to use what colored CLFs and can you stick CLFs in regular house hold lamps? and wtf is a ballast... i'm guessing you need it for the CLFs, and if there are built in ballast. also, i have read many different views on growing, and was wondering how much light you give the sprouts, as i have read that you start out with 24 hours of light.
