Growing with "Bright white" cfls 😑

[Twoforahky]

So im a new grower on my first time trying to grow some green.i looked up everything on youtube , made a grow box, found some seeds and germinated them.. i believe my first mistake was taking too long to put the sprouts in the soil (Foxfarms) but i got my dixie cups and got busy.. i put them under a BRIGHT WHITE CFL light.. so for weeks my 4 plants been under these lights and im realizing their moving kinda slow.. so i do some more research and find out im using the wrong light.. i should of been using Cool White.. so my question is what should I do now? Again this is my first grow...please lmk something

Color is not as important as wattage. Use as many bulbs as you can get your hands on.

Yep....don't be shy with those CFL bulbs....just keep them from touching leaves. Good luck!

Ive used up to 300 (true watts) of cfls with good luck. Green and rock are right. The more watts the bettr. Just realize that lots of watts do produce some significant heat, so be ready to monitor and deal with it, if needed.
