My buddy gave me a couple germinated seeds the other day but i didnt have anything set up to grow them. I just put them in soil under a 25W cfl bulb and 3 days later im left with plants that have 4 inch long stems with the cotyledon leaves and the 1st set of "true" leaves at the top. Im guessing its cuz i dont have the right lights. what kind of cfl works best? I have a 25W bulb for an aquarium and the box says it is daylight spectrum, will this help?
