What do I have going on here?

So. I have this plant that started outside 2 weeks ago in a controlled enviorment now for the last few days.

The plants are a few inches high, the stem is not all green. I have 2 lights about 5 inches above them. I am not sure if these are the correct bulbs. Could someone take a look for me?

Eh, pictures?

woops..

What light are you using? What ever it is it looks to be too much on the red side of the light spectrum.

it's sitting in generic potting soil after sprowting up ouside in another plants potter. I am a little confused about lights.

Well for one thats a warm white, that should only be used for flowering or mixed up with cool white lights. I recommend you getting some cool white incandescent lights and replacing that one for the time being and just go out and buy a cool white light. Btw where did you buy that light? :)

And 23w = 100w only means it emits just as much as a 100w light but only uses 23 watts.

It's under two of these about 18 hours a day. The type of lights that you mention, are they CFL lights like this?

Yes, with fluoro's and incandescents there are 3 types of lights (if I'm not mistaken) and thats soft white, cool white, and warm white, right now you really only need a cool white CFL.

Excuse me for the neophite question, what does CFL stand for?

Compact Fluorescent or Compact Fluorescent Light, exactly what you have :).

And like I asked before, where did you get that light from? I'm trying to buy a couple.
