Question

Can I use normal light bulbs to grow my indoor plants?

Answer

No, you should not use regular incandescent or halogen bulbs as they emit too much heat and not enough blue spectrum light which is necessary for photosynthesis. Instead, you may want to consider using compact fluorescent lamps specifically designed for growing plants like LEDs or T5HOs. These provide more appropriate wavelengths of light that plants need and produce less heat than traditional light bulbs.
