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.
