Is it alright to use a blacklight to light indoor herb garden?



I’m just setting up my indoor herb garden due to frost outdoors but I do not know if it’s good to use the blacklight being ultra violet light and ultra violet can burn. I know I will receive better results with a full spectrum bulb but I don’t have one yet and It’s looking to be an internet order because I cannot find one in the surrounding stores.

No use of UV light. You better use full spectrum bulbs.

No they will not grow with a black light. Plants use red and blue light and reflect green which is why they appear green to us. A black light contains little red and blue light. Bad idea it will stunt growth. Try a natural sunlight lamp. Careful it will bleach paint and carpet. Just like sunlight. Check surrounding nurseries and your Sam’s club, if you have one. I got one at Sam’s for my plants for twenty dollars I believe. also check eBay. I am raising butterflies and plants indoors over winter, so if you would like to bounce ideas please let me know. You can IM me at
Please follow this link. This is the lamp I purchased.

If you do not personally hold a memebership, maybe a friend does and you can pay them back. Seems to be a good lamp and good luck with the herbs.

NO!!! You will kill the plants…it is very important you get the right kind of lighting
