/sci/, quick question, would photosynthesis be efficient under a white flourescent light like pic related
Go grow your weed somewhere else

we dont have a garden

I'm just trying to make experiments on some fucking beans and I don't want to wait for summer so they can have fucking enough light.
>>7786136
No.

>efficient
You probably mean sufficient?
They make lamps specifically for this purpose.

You want a plant growing lightbulb, not a regular one. Your local hardware store should have them.

>efficient
More so then the sun? Not at all. I'm not sure even greenhouse lighting systems can work as efficiently as the sun. I'm a biochem guy so my botany may not be perfect so someone please correct me if I'm wrong
It would work but be somewhat inefficient. Green light does not do anything useful in normal photosynthesis. Using red and blue LEDs will be efficient and people do this already.

Specifically, the spectra of the light should ideally match the absorption spectra of chlorophyll, which looks something like this.
