Growing under lights

Growing under lights

I've used them for annuals and tomatoes last spring and they worked like
a charm - compact and strong plants, completely different than previous
years with natural light at a west-sided window. I've never had any of
the "classical" growing lights, so I can't compare to those.

No Idea if they work with grown up plants, but i wouldn't see why not.
They do look funny though - everything's bright pink...you should switch
to full spectral if you want to enjoy your flowers,,,

Hi,

The latest idea for growing plants under lights is to use red and blue
LEDs - plants reflect all the green light. Speculation is that this
technique will make growing many crops in England in Winter viable.

LEDs are more efficient than older light sources.

ebay.com (home of cheap and cheerful LEDs from China) knows all about:

LED grow light

I wonder if anyone has tried these?
