Would 2 40w fluorescent "aquarium and plant growth" lights be good for 8 plants?

Maybe for the first couple of weeks. You'll need a lot more lights after they start their veg stage.

I seem to only be able to find those long 40W fluorescent tubes. I could get lots but do i need any different kind of light?

40 watts no good, i started with that and TERRIBLE results. you need (depending on space and money) at least 150 MH then 4 veg 250 HPS. works for me!
good luck!

No. You would be better off with 2 40W COOL lights.

But that wouldnt be enuff light for 4 plants either....maybe for a couple of decent ones during veg stage only though.

Get better lighting or it will take you foreeeeeever to see the end of the grow, if it gets that far.... And you won't get much more than grief!

Alright.. im thinking i am going to get 4 40 watt cool lights for the first week or 2, then get 6 warm lights and use them all. ive heard that cool lights supplementing warm lights are good...
