if u dont have enuf lights ur plants will stretch to get more lite and they will be wispy. lite ,water and nutrients (i.e. food) are the 3 most important things u have to worry about when ur first growing. so spend the extra $$$ for the lites use good water and keep the nutrients in the right ratio to start then u can get to the p.h., heat co2 and other factors u need to learn to control.
