I use three of those wallmart grow lights. Well 2 of them are "grow lights" the other is a undercabnit light. Same maker and model as the grow light just the bulb has a different spectrum. Can be found right next to the "grow lights" Those grow lights are 7800k very blue almost purple the other light the "under cannot light" is 4800. Almost full spectrum. It's very white not blue or red/orange. Right in between 2700k and 6500k. Works great for me at least. Leaves can grow into them with out getting burnt. I do believe they are t8s I know there not t12 or t10 and not a t5 sooooo..... My guess is t8. Well worth the money. 7 to 10 bucks from wallmart

+rep to all!
thanks you guys all so much! u guys are awesome I really appreciate all your help. I went from killing my plants, now they are looking lovely . Im going to home depot tomorrow, I live in an apartment so I might not want the 4FT lol unless I can cover them while walking through the comlex. we'll see im buying something bad ass today either from there or the hydro shop, the hydro shop had this 4ft t5 set up for $120 I might get that!. As for watering I put 600ml in the first three days. 200ml each day times three day = 600ml . the water never ran down the plate at the bottom of the pot. its still kinda moist when I put my finger 3 inches in. Im going to let it dry up and keep a good eye when it dries. Should I then pour reg water ph 6.5 until the whole pot gets wet and let it run down the drain holes of the pot? then let it full dry and repeat the process?? thank you guys!~
