Few hours of sun vs 18/6 of shitty lighting indoors

My plants have been chillin on the windowsill for 2½ weeks now getting about 4-6 hours of morning sunlight before the sun passes around the building leaving them in shade. But yesterday it started raining too much so I took them inside, and put them under two regular 60 wattlamps I use in my room and I have to say, they're looking happier than ever. I havent seen the leaves stretch upwards this much until now.

So, Is 2x60 standard incandescent light bulbs a better option than the windowsill? Here's before and after:


 
At least go CFL man, your just using wasted wattage with incandescent bulbs and they don't produce that many lumen's at all.
 
Plants will tilt towards any light...that doesn't mean its good light..use a couple of 26w cfl's $12.00. for the sun down time (indoor spa)...That's exactly what I did...I'm at 1.5-3.5 feet now on 6 plants.. Even cloudy day light is better then incandescent lights.....you'll end up with a whack of Sir Stretch a Lot's....
 
the leaves might do like that with the light bcus its a bit to hot ... might not be true but its possible... i think:neutral:

:peace:
