Plant grow lights, helpfull at all?

trev420 · Jun 28, 2007

Growing my first plant, nothing special just a test run to learn a bit b4 I move onto some good seeds. Its a few weeks into growth and I started it outside not sure it would grow even. Since it made it to a few inches I decided to move it inside and give it a trial run before putting the room to use for some good seed.

Anyways I've searched the forum but haven't found anything about "Grow lights". Do they help at all? I have a 75 watt flourescent & 100 watt flood grow lights.

in addition to 105 watt full spectrum cfl

105 Watt Compact Fluorescent 5000K Full Spectrum CFL

From what I've read I'll need to add a red spectrum soon but what do these grow lights fall under. I don't see any specs on them related to spectrum and output?

Thanks

its temp is 5000k. puts out 6200 lumes. the spects on that bulb are below the pic of it. you will need a mogul socket to usethat bulb. it won't fit in a normal house hold lamp socket. this place can help with a scoket & reflector. Brite Wing High Wattage CFL Reflector - Plantlighting Hydroponics. and that other bulb i wouldn't use it will only put out heat not much light for your plants to use

ur fl would be best grow with ,grow flood lights arnt tht great
if u had like 3 plants with 2 x75w flourecents youd get decent results and then get a bulb for flowering if you can if not you can continue to flower with flourecents but i would use compact fl,s cuase of thier color spectrum.
