Thanks Strom Crow...I went out and got a couple of CFLs today and though it is to early to tell the light abundance is a lot better and being able to put the light closer to the plant without burning it seems to me a plus. I'm going to be setting up a grow "chest" if you will this weekend with the proper setup because I believe what I have now is just not proper in any way what so ever. It's in the corner of my closet with the lights just hanging out above...no fan or reflective material.:thumbsup:
