I'm not the expert or anything, just my opinion based on things I've read here and about...

But I don't think just 1 of those, is gonna be enough. Maybe 2 or 3 next to eachother would be, though.

I know that higher wattage is always better, but anything above about 26w is usually fine, if you have enough of them. Daylight CFLs are pretty awesome for growing, so I'd imagine daylight tubes are similar in spectrum.

I don't really know how this all applies to tube-florescent though... So it might be best to wait for other opinions...
