this is my first time growing and im pretty confident of all the shit we got except the lights, so im wondering if these lights are good for growing or are they too strong. http://www.studiolighting.net/images...work_light.jpg

Do you have the bullb specs?

is it Halogen Floresant Incandesant?
How many Watts, Lumens need more info to help

Not too strong just the wrong type. That is a halogen shop-light. Wrong spectrum and too much heat.

Im a new grower My first plant is growing good right now. I dont know if this is a dumb question or not but can you use regular house bulbs(Soft White, etc.) to grow weed? or can you use heat lamps? and what about UV type lights?

Incandescent (standard bulb) gives off too much heat and light in the wrong spectrum. You can get compact floros (CFLs) in the right spectrum for veg and flower. Heat Lamps are not good and UV lights can be used during flower for increased resin production but not worth looking into for newbs.

Those lights wont work,.The house bulbs can be used if they are cfl with highout puts regualr bulb no..Go get couple 4 ft flor shop lights to start seeds and young plants and get at least a 400 watt hps for flowering.Total can be gotten for under $100

Where can you get a couple 4ft shop lights & a 400W HPS for under $100?

We are growing just a couple plants in the closet, how many watts would you say we need if we get CFL's?

most people say at least 2 per plant but the more you can get the better

o and dont forget to get the most watts you can, and im not sure what they are but if you search around there are different spectrums that you can get for the different stages of your plants
