No. Wrong spectrum. Too much heat. Buy a good grow light.

scrib you need EITHER a HPS (high pressure sodium) /a MH (metal halide) ... you can even you flood lights as long as there either a hps or a mh ....

you can get high output florecents but they cost ,,, because you need a few

Right now I have two florecent bulbs, and the power source.

The bulds have a few numbers on them, but not sure if they have enough watts to work. But here are the numbers.

F20W T12 CW
Cool White

20watt each in 6400k fine for seeds, clones , and early veg


you need to get yourself a powerful light for flowering like a 250watt and upwards

if your growing only a couple of plants you should get one of these

SS2570 250w HPS EconoMini System
