Stinky,

First of all, thank you for your input; you are one of the wisest around here!

Second, I am glad you mention the clamp-lamps, because that's exactly what I'm using!! The only bad thing about them is that actual "cone" that makes up the lamp was a bit small and maybe it was creating too much heat. They were both rated for 60W, so I thought 27W would be no problem.

Third, you bring up a good point: moisture. I did not get the lamps wet at all. The only moisture that could be getting in the lamps is actual water vapor created from the heat of the lamps (but I wouldn't think it would so significant as to "wet" the lamps. I watered the plant but not too much.

What I ended up doing is buying three more clamp-on desk lamps (rated at 27W), and bought (3) 20W CFL's (6500K with a total of ~3450 lumens).

Could you tell me what's the ideal height for a plant that's been growing about 1 week and a half and which is 2" in height? I read somewhere in the forum that 2" away from plant was ideal. To me that seems a bit too close, but that's what I've been doing. Also, does the height away from plant vary as it grow more and more?

Thanks again for your input and am looking forward to your reply.
