Your using the light from your window and then putting them in your closet or something for dark?

I am not familiar with the verilux spectrum light. Most of us use a HPS for flowering. Here is a picture of one of my girls in flower. She is at 21 days in this picture--the same as your girl. mYou might want to check out a HPS light.

You should get a compact hps lamp like a 150w hps for one plant. thats what I use and its just enought for personals. If you have a 2x2 area you can use a 250w hps for 2 plants. Or one plant per square foot. know that with the higher wattage you get WAY better buds but more heat in return so make sure you have a intake vent for fresh cool air and a way to exhaust hot old air. That is VERY VERY important.

If you were using an incandescent light bulb (like one of these: http://www.verilux.com/full-spectrum-lightbulbs/incandescent-bulbs), then pretty much all your growth came from putting them on the windowsill. Do invest in an HPS as soon as possible if you want the highest yield.

Keep in mind though that you will also need a ballast to power the light, a reflector to not waste the lumens and get more light to your plants, and a cord to link the bulb and ballast.

Incadescents dont grow pot.
But they do grow other plants.
