I'm going to start some seedlings indoors soon and can't afford to purchase a gardening lamp. Could I put a fluorescent light bulb in my tabletop desk lamp?

You can get a compact fluorescent bulb like a CFL that will fit your lamp and get it to turn on in your desk lamp. The problem is that it will not contain all the sunlight colors that your plant needs to grow.
You would be better off buying a non-fluorescent "Gro-Lamp" bulb that does have the proper light spectrum and using that in your desk lamp. They are only a few bucks. You don't have to buy a huge fluorescent fixture for that purpose.

My guess its the lamp. My father and mom had a similar subject with a large fluorescent fixture of their kitchen. We replaced the bulb and it nevertheless happened. it would be extra fee-effective to easily replace the bulb, so i might attempt a various bulb earlier paying for a clean lamp yet save the receipt in case you want a clean lamp.
