I've used both bulbs for various types of plants. This includes
aquarium plants which need a good spectrum of lighting and a good
intensity due to the water interfering with light penetration. I've
never found any plant that responded so much better to the gro-lux
bulbs that it warranted the extra expense. IMHO, stick with the
regular cool-whites. They look nice and your plants probably won't
care.
