fluorescents??

[Mississippi Steve]

Just do a little research on the bulb itself... some "brite white" bulbs do not emit the bands of the color spectrum that promote growth. I don't have the letter designations for them off hand, but there are specific types of bulbs that are used for growing...
I have seen the best selection of growing type bulbs in the aquarium depertment at Petsmart.
