Well unless they are CFL's they arent good for growing....no type of bulb that will screw into a regular lamp socket besides CFL's will grow anything.

you NEED to go pickup a 42 watt cfl from wal mart

They look terribly stretched. Get some proper lighting. Get at least a 150-200W CFL in the 6500K spectrum, you'll need 2500-3000K spectrum for flowering. When plants stretch like that, that means they're not getting the light they need, in due time they get stem rot and die. Your are very spaced out with little stem width to support that height. Check out High Tech Garden Supply, they have some killer deals on HPS/MH and CFL systems. Cheapest you'll find if you want to get serious about it.
