No sorry I should have been more specific. I have 3 lights. they have 1600 lumens each, and they are cfl`s so they are 26watts=100watts i havent even started the plant yet.So basically a soft white bulb is good for starting?Also I saw this t8 fluorescent light at my local hardware store, it was called a grow light but it didnt seem bright enough to grow a plant at any stage, it was purple in color and very dull .BTW Thanks for your help
