because if they are......cool white? cfl's the plant barely uses that wavelength of light and are useless.

or so i've read.
well i'm keeping the lights 2 inches above all of the plants..and no..i didn't pay attention to wavelengths...would that be on the package or something?
and if it's any hint of whether or not they work, 2 of the plants (the ones i planted first) are pretty well sprouted...they have 4 big leaves and a bunch of tiny ones in the middle
