Fluorescent Lighting

Newer, modern fluorescents have proven to be very effective for growing plants in their vegetative state. Some leafy green varieties like basil and lettuce can be grown completely under fluorescent lighting. T5 fluoresent lighting is the industry standard for growing with this type of lighting system. Fluorescent lights run much cooler and consume less energy than high pressure sodium and metal halide lights. A fluorescent lamp generally cannot produce as compact fruit and flowers as a high pressure sodium or metal halide bulb. This is why they are more ideal for leafy greens and vegetative state growth.

Thay are high quality and available in 4,6, and 8 bulb systems as well as singles that can be daisy chained to make your own size system. Gat your fluorescent lamps and get growing today!
