are you vegging?..if so go with daylight bulbs..(6500k)..the sunlight bulbs are more of a red spectrum bulb (which are good for flowering)..you want to go more of a blue...i was using a red spectrum before and it was growing veeeeeeeeerrryy slow..so i switched to the daylights and it has grown over 2 inches in less then a week..

are they cfls??..or just regular tubes?...i have also found that if you use alot of the red spectrum bulbs when its really small they end up burning the tips of the leaves (even though everyone seems to think it's nutreient burn when i wasn't even using nutes)..i'm actually using nutes now with the new bulbs and i haven't had any problems..nothing but nice big green healthy leaves

you can..but..as youngsters they crave the 6500k light..when you use the reds it is like a waste of light because they don't use it..( i've tried it and it didn't do anything)..but hell yeah when it's at the flowering point mix them up but make sure you're going more for the red
