Thanks thomas,im thinking for now i can get a 4way socket splitter,and get 4 good grow bulbs,im just not sure which bulbs to get...

42 watt warm white cfl lamps are good for the money. Check the big box stores. About $8 ea.

Nice,thanks,im bout to see if stores open so i can get some,wut does the 5500k mean on the light bulb packaging?does a higher number mean better light?

[Shovelhandle]

5500k is the white color, cool white (even though its actually a higher temperature, 5,500º Kelvin scale) this is good for early vegative growth. 2700K is warm white, 2,700º Kelvin is good for later, blooming growth.
