    Default Fluorescent light question

    Does a flowering plant still need the red spectrum to keep on flowering or will the blue spectrum be okay ?

    Great site(been there before).

    I,ve probably answered my own question.If i use a flourescent light(blue spectrum) as a supplement to some natural light flowering should continue.
    Just looking @ options for growing in the winter months.
