Hi,

   Does anyone know if LED aquarium lights suitable for aquatic plants can be used to grow garden plants indoors?

I have a Chihiros Aquatic Studio 45cm LED light (it's an ADA Aquasky LED knock-off brand) and am wondering if I can use it to get a head start on my pepper plants.  :)



Thanks!
George

I sold LED lights to people that used it to grow plant's. They say it works.  Also
depends on the temp and what's in your soil. Just light aquarium plants.

Thanks! I figure that since I have a light I am no longer using, I might as well put it to good use.  :)

UPDATE:
I have been using my aquarium light to grow my pepper plants indoors and I am getting amazing results! :) I am very impressed with how well it works for garden plants. (Check out the attached images)
