I want to plant a 10g i have,but i dont have a hood for it. I have some screw in light fixtures and wanted to know if you guys can recommend some spiral light bulbs to use in them?Or should i just go out and buy shop lights? I want to grow low light plants,just thought i should add that. Will any of the Energy smart GE bulbs work?i have a couple 13 watts that put out 825 lumens.


Thanks for the help!

as long as the bulbs are in the 5000K to 10000K range DIY away
