That 250W bulb is going to cook your plants, not grow them.
You might be able to keep a burger warm under it, but I'm pretty sure you wont be able to grow under it.
It also looks like that 250W bulb is far too big for the space you're growing in to begin with.

Try to pick up some CFL's, or a MH bulb, or a HPS bulb.
For the space you're in, it might be better to run some CFL's.

Check out this part of the forums, it might help you.

I agree, anything used to roast or keep a product warm is just going to give you a big bunch o nothing lol. You might also burn the house down using a light like that in such a small space. Start from scratch and use steeZz advice ;)

I use a 125 watt dual spectrum set about a foot above the seedlings.

I looked at the site and man you can get better deals on lights. I'm not saying buy knock off and cheap shit, but those prices suck.

buy a lamp kit from your local hardware store and attach a 3 way to the socket on the lamp, mount it to the top of your box. From the same hardware store buy 3 43W cfl's, try to find the 6400K bulbs but the standard ones will work. This will be fine to veg your seedlings in such a small space and for the smallest of prices ;) When you get into the flower stage add a dozen of them 43's to your setup if your going for a nicesized plant and you'll have some good bud. Good luck!

I would suggest reading one of the sticky posts on how to grow cannabis. It will answer your questions much quicker ;) Thats what they are there for :)
