alright i have the plant growing in my closetwith stuff scattered all around it like it would be usually, i found like a reading light with a clip and put a 90 watt bulb in it so i think im fine the light amount and stuff, but what scares me is the light gets fast really hot, and it says on the lap to get a 60 watt bulb or less to prevent fire, what should i do? ignore the warning or find another light?
 
Find another lamp dude or put a lower watt bulb in it. Did you try those squiggle like energy saver bulbs? I heard they work well.
 
What makes you think you can grow plants using a normal bulb of any wattage? You need more specialized lighting to attempt to grow anything at all. All you are doing here is setting up a potential fire hazard by overloading a reading light with a bulb that it is not equipped to handle. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but you will not be able to grow with the methods you are attempting to use. You need to re-think your grow.
 
Again, very sorry if I seemed too harsh, but you do need better lights man. You cannot just take a normal light bulb and expect that it will grow stuff. Also, the last thing I would want you to do is burn your house down because you set up an un-safe lighting system.
 
get some cfl's for your tower. or go to the fishstore and get a blue light then go to menards and get a red, plant growing light. but if you wanted to really grow you need metal halides and high pressure sodium bulbs which to me are expensive and need some knowledge to set up. What im doing now is practicing so when im ready to buy a nice setup i know what the fuck is going on with the plant. im on my second plant the first one was about two feet plus with no real branches and the one im currently gwoing is a foot and is budding.
 
alright, yeah i didnt think that light would work. i have a few fish tank lights i think im gonna go get those. but i also dont wanna grow in a sketchy spot cause i mean like i dont want my mom to find the plants.
