Hi, help plz?

Ive had my plant next to the window for about 3-4 months and its growing pretty slowly so im gonna get some lights on it instead. I was wondering if a UV lighting unit, like the ones used for reptile tanks n fish ect, would be good enough? I used this when they were seedling and it worked ok, or should i just buy some cfl's or sumin? Pic of the lighting unit below

if money not a problem you should just buy a proper light it will be well worth it

yeah got no cash atm, thats y im just looking for a cheap alternative till i find a job

whar watt is it?

CFL's will work & are about 9-12 $ each. For 1 plant 2 overhead & maybe 1 on each side.. Not the best way, but a good cheap alternative.... I paid $12 for 2 - 24w's, stronger is better...always
Good luck

its only a 20 watt
but atm its either that or sunlight

i would go with twistyman its the cheapest n best way really

Go with daylight if you can get 6-9 hrs. of direct sun. Keep under the cfl's at night or until it's strong enough to be plantes outside... If that's your plan...
