The new flourescent spiral flood light bulbs are good for indoor growing?

Posted on October 7th, 2009 by Jon Brown in indoor bonsai tree |

I have recently purchased the new flourescent spiral flood light bulbs for grouwing date trees indoors. I’m going to make a indoor bonsai date tree. The lumens on it are somewhere around 1500. Am I good to go?

I would agree with Alterra. Lumens aren’t the only consideration for growing. Check out your local lighting store

    Sounds a bit dim to me unless you have a bunch. For indoor growing I prefer a four foot florescent shop light fixture(s) with one warm white and one cool white bulb to give you a more complete spectrum.
