using grow lights to raise young plants?
I am trying to find the best kind of light bulb to grow an indoor garden. I am currently using a 32 watt CFL (compact fluorescent lightbulb) bulb and it doesn’t appear to be helping the plants much at all. i have read that fluorescent bulbs are the best, however, is there a distinction between a household CFL and a grow CFL?
We’ve grown plants under tube florescent lights for years.
We’re cheap and have found that 75 Watt full spectrum tube fluorescent lights or fluorescents manufactured as “grow lights” work the best. But these are large lights – you’ll need about 7 feet.
We’ve also used the smaller 48 inch florescent lights with “grow” tube bulbs, but since the Watts are less we use these mainly for houseplants. Flowers and veggies tend to be a bit spindly under the smaller lights.
