Yes it can, and I will give you the proof...

If you heard of photosynthesis (an important biochemical process in which plants convert the energy of sunlight to chemical energy for synthetic reactions such as the formation of sugars), or transpiration (a process caused by the evaporation of water from leaves of plants and its corresponding uptake from roots in the soil), we did these tests...

For the Photosysnthesis test, we used an illuminated light bulb on a plant, and tested for the production of starch - and the test was positive as when iodine was added, there were dark spots - an indication of startch, and it was the same as the plant that was in the sun.

For the transpiration test, we have two plants... one outside, with Methylene Blue used as a replacement for water, and the other inside with a light bulb, with the same Methylene Blue (the indicator)... when we saw that the methelene level rising in the tube connected to the leaves stem of the plant (in the apparatus), we knew that the plant responded to both articifical light and natural light.

So, from that "epistle", you will see that artificial light can replace natural light, when the plant is indoors. Just make sure the light is soft and at a good distance ---- not too near. Make sure too that the light does not give off too much heat.

There's an alternative to specialized plant flourescent tubes. Plants need blue and far red. You can get the the same amount of blue from a cheap warm white tube and the proper amount of far red from a cheap incandescent bulb of 1/3 the wattage as the tube.

Thus, 80 watts of warm white and ~25 watt incandescent will get you the same results. If you just use the warm white, the plants won't flower, which is ok for seedling germination.

Good grow lights can do all that and much more, they can be used to give your plants just the right amount of light no matter what the weather. They are consistent and can provide only the good radiation, and watering can be timed and metered more exactly. What type of grow lights, you ask? individual plants, use bulbs. Lots of plants all together, use 6' tubes.

yes. for vegetative growth use metal halide bulbs and for flowering use a HID bulb. Note: most plants from temperate areas will grow good under artificial lightining but if comes from the carribbean or any place near the equator its a lot harder and may need more light bulbs of more watts.

the merely component i'd recommend you is to flow outdoors plenty even as it truly is sunny. i attempted to lighten my hair with lemon juice 5 different situations, and each and each and every time i did, it did not get that a lot and my hair merely were given really damaged. it grow to be terrible someone reported vinegar? i in no way knew that yet i used apple cider vinegar on my head to remove my undesirable dandruff and it didn''t make my hair sense all dry afterwards so once you're that determined, you are able to try that? (: yet i recommend container dye isn't that prime priced lol

Of course. They make special lights just for that purpose. Unless, of course, you are planning to grow marijuana. Then it's no, doesn't work, don't even bother trying.

yes, just buy a full spectrum fluorescent bulb.
