What type of veggies can you grow to harvest under these lights?

If you need them to fit under lamp shades, go to Home Depot or Lowe's any place that sells CFL's and pick up the 100watt equivalent of a 'daylight' bulb. Those work fine for supplementing houseplants.

It depends on amount of light you can give it. The included LED light will not be enough light for growing plants.

Sure. They only need light if you are trying to grow them for a long time... Sprouts live on the carbs in their seed for long enough for us to eat them

One is more than enough light for that.. I suggest using cfl's for germination.. Then moving towards the led's for veg and especialy flowering

use the mh... this bulb is more than capable... but Id go with a cheaper MH bulb for veg since light is less critical in the veg stage

Veg is excellent! With flowering, the light coverage is excellent but you have to buy 3k color bulbs and I'm not so sure on its ability for light to penetrate down into canopy.To make t5 flower successful you need to scrog, supercrop or get many nodes on canopy and you'd get amazing colas.It was worth the buy for me as its clean, barley any heat and light coverage was great for bushy and low plants.

You'd do a lot better with a dedicated LED grow light - these have mostly red and a few blue LED's, and are geared specifically at the wavelengths that plants need.

These are low lights...below the knee....maybe 12-14" when planted in ground to top of light housing.

Elizabeth,It really depends on what types of veggies. Lettuce can be left inside, tomatoes if the plants are smaller or you only use two racks (for size). Herbs--definitely. Peppers if the plant is smaller --ok. Mostly it depends on the size of the plants. We are planning on lettuce, herbs, tomatoes, peppers. I would transplant viney plants like squash and pumpkins.

First fill with topsoil add compost. Then u can plant just about any veggie tomato, pepper, beans, squash, broccoli etc. strawberries are best planted in a strawberry pot

I hope you grow square water melons too, and they are sweet. But these are very nice lights, no problems. :)

Depends on how high above the planting surface you place the lights. I have them set at 18 inches. After one week, the plants are sprouting. That's the fastest plants have sprouted for me using artificial lightS.

Less than 1 foot, it must be support closer to plants to do any good... It did NOT help enough to pay for the lights... The lettuce seeds did not survive under this light.... It is simply a collection of red bulbs & blue

I have 4 2ft t5 lights and I started all my tomatoes. peppers, cabbage, squash and mellon plants and the lights were perfect. I had flowers on almost all my tomato plants before it was time to plant. every plant is in the garden and doing good. Hope this helps.

You don't. The veg/flowering it about the time the light is on. The spectrum works got both.

You want the grow light as close to the plants as possible. Any more than a 6-12 inches away from the plant and it's not going to be very effective. While this grow light is surprisingly powerful for the price, it doesn't cover more than maybe 12 inches or so in diameter. I would use this for maybe a few basil plants or herbs, one head of lettuce, or a smaller pepper plant (e.g. jalapeno).
