Default 125 watt grow bulbs (incandescent

Thanks for the compliment, Ron. And thanks for tip about mold, I hadn't thought of that. One more stupid (?) question. Will one or two, 125 watt grow bulbs (incandescent, like you can buy at Home Depot for 6 bucks) be sufficient for the growth and bloom stages for vining vegetables like tomatoes and cukes? I'm assuming not, but just trying to stretch the budget before my wifey goes ballistic with my hobby expenditures! As soon as my sprouts are fully opened and almost ready to transplant, I will post some pictures and narrative on my site for the viewers of this site to comment on. Again, thanks for the helpful reply!

Sorry but incandescents are only good for the first couple of weeks of growth. You will have to add more lumens to grow successfully indoors.
