Is that the "Daylight" Bulb like the one Marc mentioned he used to use in the following article?

That is what I am using and don't get great growth. But I think iron might be my issue like you mentioned.

Mine is a few months old, so I figured I might change it soon. I tried to find another one at Lowes, but they don't carry them anymore near me. Might have to try HD (I dont' have a Walmart near me). I admit that I could not remember the spectrum, only that it said Daylight. So there may have been other 6500K lights there.
