Hi Steve,

I haven't done any studies but will pass on that when I went to Atlanta
Light Bulb (on Highway 78, just outside 285), the person there recommended
Excella fluorescent tubes. He uses them to grow herbs, and they have worked
well for me. I have Drosera and Sarr seedlings under them, and all are
doing fine. They are about $7 each.
