[quote:Anonymous Coward 1086216:MV8xNDY0NjA1XzI0MTYyNDYzXzNGMDYxNEVB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1356903] [quote:Anonymous Coward 300884] Ordinary flourescent lights do the job as well, are much cheaper, and produce more light per watt. You can grow plants in a basement with nothing but flourescents. But why would you? Sunlight is free! [/quote] That's been my experience as well, specifically for growing veggie plants. [/quote] What do you grow, and how much food does it produce? How many meals can you get out of it, realistically? Is there anything special you do to improve your results? How do you tend to it and are you growing an organic garden? Serious questions, maybe I am doing it wrong. I would love to try again this year! I'm doing 'ok' indoors, but I'd have not gotten to the point where I can produce enough to not have to do shopping sometimes for produce. If anyone with a successful outdoor garden can share some tips, I would really like to try again this year! [/quote]
Original Message
I have one hydroponic light but can't afford another but I do have a very nice sun lamp made by Sperti used for giving humans a suntan (model # DEL SOL).
I've done some research on the subject but never came out with a definitive answer.
