His mom wouldn't get arrested. People don't like to be realistic. They think scaring kids without real reason is the way to go..idiots.Unfortunately this will not work worth a fuck. One of my early grows I used three 300w incandescent light bulbs and I grew like a bowl.
There are a few problems with regular light bulbs. One is they are too red and out of the light spectrum weed prefers during veg and even flower. Two is they put out a small amount of lumens (light) for the wattage. Which leads to problem number three: heat. They burn hot like a regular HID, but only put out a fraction of the light forcing you to get the light close and tight to your plant and burning the shit out of it.
Save up 12 bucks and get a pack of two 23w spiral CFLs from walmart/home depot/lowes and get the 6500k color temp. That will be sufficient until you flower, then you will want to change it up to either 2700k color temp or even better... 150w HPS. Take it from me and my early shitty grows like this... having enough light is crucial.
Also, if his mom gets arrested for her son growing that piddly shit then something is horribly wrong with the world indeed.
