Just wondering, since the aero garden already has a reflector on the top, couldn't you simply add in a nice strong 100 watt metal halide or something along that line to try and get superior results instead of just sticking with flourescents?

I find that seedlings do fine with just weak flourescents which are around a 5500K full spectrum, but I'm finding people here trying to grow more advanced plants like cantaloupes and strawberries which could probably benefit from a more powerful light.

I have an AG, but since peppers grow kind of quick, I can probably wait until March to get my bhut jolokias going as they grow pretty fast in the AG.
