Pink will definitely help. Green lights will not. Green is the color that most plants will not take in which is why the leaves are green. You can find pink fluorescent bulbs at your lfs or online. They are pretty easy to find.

Yah, chlorophyll? ? More like boraphyll. . That's what plants say to green anyways.. they have the rosette GE t8 bulbs at home depot, they'd be great in a dual setup, too pink by themselves though..

Yeah I usually see a pair of daylight bulbs (~7-8,000k I think) and one pink one (~5-6000k I think).

Yep people usually use 1 daylight and 1 pink together.
