I am going to start to grow a few bamboos indoors. My apartment has minimal sunlight, so artificial sunlight will be needed. I have a lot of spare lighting equipment leftover from my saltwater tank (ranging from normal florescent all the way to metal halides). I was wondering if normal florescent at about a 6k kelvin spectrum or less would be sufficient, or would I need to use some stronger lighting such as power compacts or metal halides to supply enough light for bamboo growth? Any insight on the lighting requirements would be great. Thanks.
