it's the wrong spectrum, they get dangerously hot to the point of starting fires, read the grow faq, top left...

well i meen its not a powerful halogen light, i took a thermometer and checked the temp at 8 inches away from the bulb and yeah it was pretty hot, but at 13 or 16 inches away from it it seems just like room temp, i have a fan blowing in too to keep the room a little cooler. But i understand itz prolly not a good idea, so where can i get a decent bulb just to finish the flowering cycle? (gotta remember they r coming in from outside) What kind should i use? and what draws less power but puts out plenty of light for what im trying to do?

oh i forgot to say. while i was moving them in lastnite, i was putting them in my closet and i happen to have a relatively large piece of shrapnel that i saved from a home-made cannon project gone bad ( i meen very bad ), well anyway when i put the first plant in the closet the peice of metal fell right on the plant where the first y starts and it freakin butchered half the plant, i was soooooooo pissed. then i figured atleast it only took out half of it and i still have somehting to play with. Gimme a few mins ill put sum pix on here 4 yall

Why doesn't anyone plan ahead ? Why doesn't anyone want to use the right lighting, especially for flowering ? It baffles me.
