the main thing i dont get is.. its a grow light, but its incandescent? it says it has a FULL daylight spectrum, so... i duno?
I also found a lightbulb by GE thats blue tinted... would that help it better? i know it says on the box that it makes plants look healthier and crap, but i duno what that meens exactly.... oh well, but thatks so much! ive been wondering about the incandescent bulb for quite some time... im probably going to just used two 13 watt compact floursecents and then buy a tube floursecent this weekend

the incandescent puts off too much heat- yes it's a "grow bulb", basically they make it put off more usable spectrums of light - it still outputs alot of infra red light, and more heat than is worth, the 42 watt cfl's are perfect, you can veg 1 plant with just one of them... your closet is going to need more ventalation no mater how many lights you get.
