Incandescent lighting for clones?

I just took several clones and was wondering if two 75W incandescent bulbs and a 35W flourescent bulb would work. I know the incandescent is the wrong light spectrum, but they work fine for starting seeds so I assumed it would be similar with clones... suggestions...?

Incandescent bulbs won't allow you to veg your clones. You can pick up a 4 ft shoplight fixture with hanging materials, plug, and reflector for $8.00 and get two bulbs for 4 bucks each. For a total of $16.00 you can light those clones real nicely.

Go with cfl's they are cheaper and easier to place and they screw in to a normal socket. YOU Want daylight or 6500K for veg and soft white 2700K for flowering.

What about a 400W MH, just keep the clones about 3 or 4 feet away? Which would be more productive?

I took them 2 days ago and I have them in a decent sized glad container... should I keep them in there as a humidity dome or just let them be without the lid under the MH?
