I'm using a lamp stand with a 100 watt bulb atop my plants for several hours a day when there's no sun. Do you think this is helping my plants? It seems to work.

Are you using one of those 'daylight-spectrum' bulbs? That's the only thing I can think of that might work instead of a specialty (and expensive) gro-light bulb.
Read the tip of the bulb to find out what kind of bulb it is, if it is one of those daylight bulbs, could you post back in with the information? I'd love to be able to save on indoor gardening, and using one of those bulbs, if it's working for you, would be a lot less expensive for me to try!
My mother, now deceased, had a green thumb. She could grow anything she wanted. I even recall her starting a rosebush from a cutting. I recall her placing a canning jar over it in the yard. It grew. In the winter my mom would carry all her plants in, and they numbered several hundred, to an upstairs bedroom. My mom couldn't afford fancy expensive lighting.
Now, as for me, I can't grow much. Sorry I did not inherit my mothers talent!
