Well the incadecent light was just a small little bulb I got, it's made for aquarium plants, I was just going to use it when the plant is a baby, so it's not too strong. Anyway, what about my main light that I bought? I just drilled holes in my closet ceiling and put it up there. Damn, it's bright when I close the door. Anyway, I don't have alot of money, in fact, it's my mom buying most of the equipment for me, and I looked everywhere at Wal-Mart for lights, and all I found where flourecent lights, such as the one I got (at least it was in the flourecent section, and it says it's a grow light...) But, I might go to this plant farm (if that's what they're called) that is about 10 minutes away. They have all kinds of plants, and I'd assume they'd have the lights I need. Also, in my closet, about 1-2' from the ceiling, I have a shelf that I can take off. I was thinking, I could put my plants up there, so they're closer to the light?

So, how much would a good but cheap light cost me? And should I mount it on the ceiling, or put them on the sides? If I put it on the ceiling, for a while I was giong to put my plant on the shelf, so it gets more light, but if I have to put it on the ground, my closet on the inside is carpet, so should I cover that with alluminum foil as well?

ALSO, one last question...: I know they (to mix the soil) say to put 80% potting soil, and 20% perlite, so do I just mix it all together, or put the perlite on the top or bottom or something? Thanks again, and please reply asap, as I want to feel at peace when I go to bed tonight, that I'll soon be on the right track.
