[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2400510, member: 5412"] I tried this years ago, using standard fluorescent lights. Lived in a town house with a basement. build a raised garden in the basement with good dirt, and hung 8' fluorescent over the bed. The beans and tomato's grew, but didn't produce much. This was in the 70's before the age of information we are living in. I just googled this finding out that the frequency of the lights is the key to good growth. "HID lights are twice as efficient growing plants as fluorescent lamps; one 400-watt HID lamp emits as much light as 800 watts of fluorescent tubing. All HID lights can run on regular 120-volt household current but they require special fixtures with ballasts." There is a ton of info out there for growing under lights. [/QUOTE]
