here is a pic of the type of bulb you want. for my vegging plants, I use mostly cool white with one or two of the soft white (soft has an orangeish tint). The more bulbs the better. cfls' are awesome for young plants; they keep them short and bushy because it's a full light spectrum with less heat output.
you can get them at practically any grocery or drug store, but they will be cheaper and there will be a bigger selection with higher wattage if you go to a lowe's or home depot
these points are a fraction of what you need to know to grow decent flowers. Study up on 4 broad areas: lighting, water, soil, and air. THey are the 4 elements of growing.
never mind ...
that's an incandescent light, if you get it close enough to give the plant the light it needs, it will fry it with heat.
Go for a bunch of CFLs or som eflouro shop lights.
Read the link in my sig too for other pointers.
