Is a 15w CFL enough to grow broccoli?
My broccoli sprouts are getting really long and skinny and falling over towards the window, apparently in a desperate attempt to get sunlight. My lettuce seems to be doing OK. I am just wondering if a 15w compact fluorescent bulb will put out enough light to keep them healthy. I put the bulb in a lamp and leaned it right over the broccoli. The weather has been crap all week and apparently will continue this way for the rest of the week so there is no chance of getting any real sunlight for them this week. It is also too cold to put them outside.

Apparently you started them way too early. I'd replant and forget about those or buy plants when the time is right.

a million.you will possibly might desire to approximate sunlight ranges (a thousand Lumens at midday), to strengthen flora. Your 27W. CFL might provide you an regularly occurring of roughly 50 Lumens in a medium sized room. you will possibly choose approximately 4 in keeping with plant and that they'sd might desire to be notably close. 2. you will possibly choose the right spectrum. flora in common terms choose 2 slender bands of frequencies of light to strengthen. something is wasted capability. There are ''Gro-lighting fixtures' bought for raising flora indoors in winter. you're suspected of attempting to strengthen 'pot'. Tomatoes ought to yeild nicely given appropriate situations. i'm no longer too sanguine approximately strawberries indoors.
