Re: Is this the right light bulb?
 

I don't know about the specification of the ligh but I recon the light source should be much more closer to the plants. Say 6 inches off.

Re: Is this the right light bulb?
 

Most of what I've read says amount of light is more important than type of light, and amount depends a lot on how close the plants are to it. So yes, move them LOTS closer.

Okays,took your advices and say if I didn't put it close enough.

And yes they are the Reptiglow 2.0 UVB.......Erm,whats the difference between UVB and UVA?Which one benefits plants?

Re: Is this the right light bulb?
 

2.0 means 2% UVB, Marvin. If it states full spectrum then UVA and UVB are included. Is the light bulb too hot? If not you can shift it a little more closer to the plants.
