grow lights

[mike kivi]

Here are 2 pics of our greenhouse. first is under construction the second is today with plants in it. We are still preparing to add the fish. Currently we are using clear ammonia to build the microbe population.

 

I have a question about using sun tanning lamps for grow lights. A friend gave me a tanning bed for this purpose and I haven't been able to find pros/cons using using the lamps.

I plan to use a remote control to turn the lights on and off so we aren't exposed to the harmful UV light.

Has anyone done this, if so how did it or does it work for you?
