** For plants in 4 week of veg
Just bought two stupid lights ge 120vac 65 watt incadescent plant light

and walmart 24 inch 17 watt fluorescent grow light. also im using another low wattage fluorescent but its a supplement to a lizard light so its kinda craZy,
I only need this crap to bring me into sex so i can clone and move outside

Do i have to go bring this stuff back and get cfls? i couldnt find any and my plants needed more light immediately. i am growing in a stealth box i made so i have a couple questions... now that i have the incandescent do i need to move the light fixture. the fluro has always been 2 inch but now i see this is different? also i want my plants to sex early but im not sure they are strong enough after dealing with some mistakes. THEY HAVE BEEN 24 hours so far, should this change now or just turn one of the three lights off (assuming they arent trash)

how early can i clone and how to tell? is this incandescent b.s. gonna burn my plants? if so can i put a cfl in the fixture?? where do u buy fixtures for those bublbs or what will work? thanks much appreciated
 
Get the cfl's and they will fit any fixture a regular light bulb fits in.
You can get them at Home Depot, WalMart, etc.......
They look like this.

ok thanks, the incandescent was like 20 bucks cuz its a plant light or whatever... how much are fixtures usually? just replace the bulb or is there a cheaper light fixture i could get?

I bought some clamp lights at WalMart for under $6.50 a piece just the other day. Make sure they are rated 150 watt or more and they will be plenty safe for cfl's.

Keep the tube and return the grow light and keep up the 24hrs of light till you go outside.
