    Use your computer for a search into "grow lights". There"s a outfit in B.C,Canada called something like THC,com that can help you out. You might consider using the smaller,screw-in florescent types with their own built-in ballast--these operate with little heat and produce the "right" kind of light for plants.These are especially made for growing plants and come in a couple different sizes--use less electricity too. You propably will have to "Fed-Ex" it in from the lower 48. Take Care.

    once you employ expert strengthen lights furniture like "intense rigidity sodium" or "metallic halide" lamps make sure there is a superb ventilation equipment because of the fact they produce some warmth. in case you intend on becoming very gentle flowers the ventilation must be set up like a closed equipment, with good filters in place. maximum plant and backyard centers have them, yet you additionally can locate them in maximum electric powered/hardware shops. Do a seek on those shops on the factor of you. good success.
