I bought this CFL light for lighting but I saw that it was 10,00K and I looked at the spectral graph and it got me wondering if this light can be used to grow with (not for bit plants ofc.

That's what I was thinking but the red spike confused me but also how well would this CFL be for veg growing cycle on its own?

Well guys after doing a few test grows with my 6" long, 10w 10,000K CFL with 5 different basil plants I have to say that they love the 10w 10,000k more then a 13w 6500k CFL. I will be doing more testing on other kinds of food plants.

I also have a Christmas cactus getting some of the 10,000K CFL light and it to seems to be doing better.
