Relying solely on lights - advice for my next setup?

[Deborah]

I paid about $12.00 for my fixtures (I didn't know anything at the time about types of fixtures but had heard those expensive grow light bulbs worked best, so this is what I put in my first setup. A few months down the road I bought a couple of cool growers, so had to set something up in a barely heated room for them, I couln't find the grow lights, so I purchased regular florescent, full spectrum that said sunlight on the package at a home improvement store for about $6.00 for 2. there are 3 in this room with a small west window , and so far I have bloomed 2 dendrobium nobile not to mention a citrus tree and 2 jasmines under these lights. I have since then replaced all my bulbs with the full spectrum sunlight bulbs and have seen a huge difference in my plants.sorry for such a long reply.
