this is for an ap bio planning lab. we wanna see how the spectrum of light affects plant growth, so we have a normal light bulb and a black (purple-ish) one. we could only afford fluorescent ones.
which plants are easy to keep alive with fluorescent lighting? we have to start with seeds, by the way.

      Lighting as they grow at different rates anyway.
      The next best for any plants blue and purple are the best lights followed by other various colors but all plantlife that uses sunlight andor regular indoor lighting as comparison dont compare one type of plant to use.
