    You can get a 7500 day light bulb at HD for a fraction of the price of a expensive lighting fixture.

    Cool, exactly what I was hoping. The lighting recommendations just say moderate to high with no explanation of what would provide that. lol

    Karma and thanks Luna.

    I'm using one of those clamp on lights you buy for the garage, it allows you adjust it where you need it.

    possible, i'm just using one of those spiral CFL's 6500k and my cheato is growing like mad I think it's the bulb that is equal to a 60w light bulb so it's like 13w
