phoenix44 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 you'll need to change the tubes to grow plants. blue lights encourages compact growth in some plants and also a flowering response, but is no good for growing plants under. there are many colour spectra you can choose from; common ones include 6500K 6800K 10000K 18000K powerglo. Each tube does a slightly different job, so think of what plants you want to grow and then match your tubes accordingly. if you like the green plants, 6500K - 10000K will be sufficient.
