Yo dude, take those pics off imageshack. It's unsafe to post pics of weed and shit there, or so i hear. In any case, better be safe than sorry. Post all pics of your grow on RIU instead. Just a friendly word of advice. As for the plant, it's lookin good, you can grow with 2700K's but yeah as someone above me mentioned, 6500K's for veg, or even mix up the spectrums, it's supposed to be better. How many watt's you got in there?

Home depot has the daylight (5500K) bulbs was the highest I could find but it is OK. Pick up the connectors there too or at Lowes. Walmart doesn't carry the higher color temp. bulbs. Best would be 4 of those daylight cfl for now.

ok so i got the lights today..it seems the y-socket doesnt work with the clip on lamp i got from ikea, so i decided to just hook it up to the 10 year old basketball lamp. Anyone know why? i'm thinking the ikea lamp cant take as many watts...
Right now i got 2 26w cfl 6500k lights and 1 23w cfl 2700k light..anything i should change? and the lights seem to be getting real hot, even with the fan and im worried it might set the blanket on fire. what should i do?

rotate the lamp with the two new bulbs 1/4 to the right so both bulbs are next to you plant.

pretty much, or move your setup a lil' so your baby actually sees the light sources. Verry low risk of fire with CFLs since they give out verry low heat just dont press em up against anything and you'll be fine. Keep it up!

Ya, rotate your basketball lamp 90degrees. You have any exhaust fans in there?
