Incandescents won't grow pot.

you need a florescent for veg (with cool white lamps)...and then..an hps for flower. (high pressure sodium). They create the orange glow you see in the night time sky from all those damn parking lots nobody is using at 4 AM....

DON't let your plant stay under that light and STRETCH to hell and back.... get the proper light

READ. READ. READ. There are other pot forums besides this one if you can't find the info here.

good luck

aight thx...would something like this do the job in a small box like i have? Energy Star Spiral 25 Watt Compact Fluorescent Bulb, 6-Pack - SKS25EAWWSP

or maybe a more stonger one?? Amazon.com: Globe 40-Watt Compact Fluorescent Reader Bulb (150-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), Soft White #0784001: Home Improvement
thing is i dont want to get to crazy about it....just a simple light that can work....during the day at times im able to keep it outside..

Those will "work"...but don't expect much bud from such a small light/small lights.

It's best to keep them on a steady/consistent light schedule.

good luck
