TaoTronics E27 light bulbs for seedlings

hovermother22 · March 25, 2016

Hi, Everyone. I bought a few TaoTronics LED full spectrum -- I think that's what they are called -- led bulbs that I would place in desk lamps and use for my tomato plants as they developed. When they are seedlings, I would use the T8s. Has anyone tried to use this type of bulb for seedlings, the LED full spectrum type?
Thanks in advance!

I believe you may be the first, looking forward to pics and notes. I'm going to do a couple trays of cold treatment seedlings under full spectrum LED's, and that project is starting this weekend.

And, Welcome to Tomatoville!

Do you have r/b grow-lights or full spectrum?

I believe it's nine red and three blues. Sorry, I misspoke. So not full spectrum. Is it better to use T8s then for seedlings?
