So far i have just been using sunlight and leaving my plant next to my window. Its working ok but its gowing abit slow. Could any give me some suggestions for lighting? Ive been gowing it for about 3-4 months now, and im desperatly waiting for some results

get an HPS or MH, those are the best we can suggest. and put a fan on it to strengthen it, it looks like it's barely standing.

Would a UVB light work? like the kinda lights used for reptile tanks n fish n shit?

I dont know.... never tried, although I do use the 50/50 daylight/actinic bulbs for fishtanks for my clones and seedlings.

Even a couple or three CFL's and a fan would help if you can't afford an HID lamp. Good Luck!!
