Any pics? 60 watt lamp meaning incandescent bulb? If so, take it out we don't grow with those.

You need light. You have almost none. I have no idea what a 5-way is. Since I can not find a FAQ about using 5-ways to grow large yields, I'll assume that light is crap since there is such a FAQ for every other light bulb worth using. Of those, you have just the one lonely CFL.

As for UV bulbs, there seems to be a lot of debate, but as far as I've read, they can be used briefly each day to supplement all of the other lighting. And, you don't have enough lighting to supplement.

Your gonna need way higher watt bulbs than that, or use high power LEDs. Pic would help too.

take a look through your local phone book and see if you can find a builders discount house in your area, or even a builders salvage yard is good but you need some DIY skills because the stuff you get at the salvage yard might not work out of the box, as it were.

if you can't find one then you'll need to go to Lowes or Home Depot and pay full retail.

anyway, i'm assuming you're on a real tight budget so i'd suggest you look for one of these multiple bulb bathroom vanity fixtures that you can add splitters to to double the number of bulbs you can use.

here's a couple of pics of one of my old light bars from back when i was still growing with CFLs (i grew with nothing but CFLs for almost 2 years) and if you look close you'll see i paid $4.88 for these fixtures from the discount house.

Yea like he said. Home depot right now has high power light fixtures for 12$ and for 2 bulbs it was 10$
