Can anybody recommend the best spectrum grow light for young plants... Im thinking of starting some plants a couple weeks earlier in an attempt to get a strong plant out in the patch and placed in the ground with minimal stem stress when keeping the vine close to the ground...

One warm one cool has always worked for us...I have tried the special grow bulbs and have not noticed a real difference.

I agree, for the length of time your plants are under the lights, it makes little difference. Remember to keep the light as close to the plant as you can, especially tomatoes

I used LED (blue and red) growing lights now. Little electricity, no warmth. Ideal.
