not sure about the lights

This is the first time i have ever tried this...but i have one growing but i'm not sure if the light is good for going all the way threw growing it's still small so i only have two lights on it but i'm wondering if it's ok to keeps using these or if i should switch since she( hoping it's a she) seems to like them any opinions there a pic of the bulbs and her.

I would stay with the bright white until you switch to flower, then switch to the more yellow bulbs.

yeah you'll certainly want mot wattage as the plant matures. If you're sticking with only one plant you don't have to go over the top 1000W or anything near that, but just in general more is better. Especially if you are using the really small cfls (13 or 15w bulbs) you can get 5 or 6 of them placed all around your plant to get good light penetration.
 
With her still being small i wasn't sure how many bulbs she would need i know she is suppose to have light all around her..but i plan on getting higher wattage an more bulbs has she gets bigger..an im only sticking to this one till i know what i'm doing and get sum experience before i try doing more at a time...and think you all for all your reply's
