Fluorescent Lighting
Proper lighting is the most important item in
indoor gardening. Adequate light is the key to photosynthesis.
While
fluorescent grow lights are not the ideal solution for general indoor
gardening, there are some situations where they work well. The
diffused light from a fluorescent fixture requires that the fixture be
placed very close to the plants to provide adequate lighting. In most
cases, that means its most useful for new plants and propagation
gardens.
Fluorescents
Once the plants are well
started, they can be moved to new locations, either in an
outdoor garden or an indoor garden where High Intensity Discharge
lighting can take over to promote healthy growth for flower and fruit
production. Fluorescent Grow Lights are also suitable for many
tropical plants, like Orchids and African Violets, which have a
natural environment in the dim light under the canopy of a tropical
rain forest.
Fluorescent bulbs are available in cool 6500 Kelvin, best for
vegetative plant growth, and 3000 Kelvin, for blooming growth. They
can also be combined in a single fixture for full spectrum lighting.
Wherever you use fluorescent grow lights, standard bulbs won't get the
job done. High Output fluorescent bulbs, either straight line or
compact fluorescent, are designed specifically for the needs of indoor
gardeners.
