can this one lamp sustain the growth of herbs and vegetables in a 24" pot?

Absolutely. But I think that it would be even better if those 620-630nm LEDs would be 660nm. I'd also change 610-615nm orange to white LED's.

I moved it to vegetation and put up a 300W for flowering (link below), it was only around $200. 90W didn't have the penetration for larger plants and the lower growth was very loose.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GHB2QBC/ref=cm_cr_notf_fhv_prd

You would have to be sure the bulb does not touch the vinyl sides of the greenhouse, and that none of your electrical connections can get wet. Your electrical cord should be plugged into a ground fault circuit in case water contacts the connections. Other than that, your grow light should be fine. I used a heat lamp in mine last winter when the outside temperature fell below 28F, using the safety precautions I mentioned, and had no problems.

I don't know much about potted palms or it's light needs, but based on the small diameter output by this bulb I would guess not.

Yes, my acrylic 120G that I currently have this fixture on is 24" tall and it does a decent job lighting. However I cannot comment how well your foreground plants would do, since all my plants are potted and I have shorter plants setting on rocks to add height.

You can select a 2700K bulb for this fixture when you check out. Although I haven't used this particular light for that purpose, I'm sure the 2700K bulb would do great for the growth and flowering stages.

Well, this is my first time with a light(2'x4 bulb) and I'm only using it for seedlings. I would assume you could get some results with lettuce. I'd certainly try . I grow both Tuscan and curly leaf(Vates) kale in the garden and they're good size plants. You'd need big pots and a second light I think

Yes. It's pretty good at that. It doesn't have endless amount of positions but it covet almost all heights and angles. You can specifically bring the lamp assembly down to about three inches below the base.

Nothing in my home would keep a potted plant alive. UV rays? Don't know. However, the lamp is excellent for reading!

If I rememer correctly the 24" will work but it won't go across the entire tank so you will have some part either not lit or dinner than the rest. I would suggest going bigger especially if you are going to have live plants.

It depends on the light requirements of what you are trying to grow--but 1 or 2 should generally work.

No this one doesn't have the light you would need to keep a plant that large going. You will need one of at least 15 watts to give you enough light. This one is under 5 watts. Go for a larger wattage. Hope this helps.

I would imagine that you'd be ok with this light. I have one 48" fixture on my 75 and my stem plants grow 1/2" a day. Not quite as deep as yours but this light is pretty bright.

I use a quantum badboy T5 8 bulb light and my plants grew about 2 inches a day long as you keep the nutes and PH at right levels and you should have nice lush plants, so far I have grown Rosemary, Basil and tomatoes using DWC you definitely can't go wrong with this set up

I am currently using this light to grow African violets and orchids. I think it has a high enough light output to grow vegetables but keep in mind that the peak light area for the light is only 2 foot by 3 foot. One large tomato plant can take up that much space.

The hood holds one 24", 20watt bulb. This bulb can be bought in many different levels of brightness. One that helps algae to grow, one that dosen't, one that works well with live plants, etc.

Not at all.. I run it 16 hours a day. It's a 54 watt single bulb. Every two weeks I have been starting seeds on a mat and putting 24 plants (vegetables) in a greenhouse. The root systems under the light are surprisingly healthy. I currently have a couple of hundred plants going. In terms of value for both price and electricity.. You can't lose. Good luck..!!

Yes but wouldn't go much bigger in that size tent because a 400 watt light is going to Be able to handle more then one plant but your only going to fit one in that tent but I'm also using LED rather then the traditional light setup
