get your self somr CFL and then go for it it not going to cost you more than 5 extra buck a month

At this time of year the sun isn't enough for plant growth. One more reason besides the cold temps that plants go dormant this time of year. Like brouli stated "get some inexpensive CFL's with the daylight spectrum for veg growth. You will see a drastic improvement in growth. Wally World will have these for approx. $4-5 each. Remember 3000 lumens p/sq ft if at all possible.

Perfect advice, also get a -two way- light bulb splitter, I'd spend about 30-40 bucks on lights. get two shop light reflectors and four bulbs, and start new seeds. the one you have is probably beyond repair.
