The growing conditions are the same and there is much much more information on how to grow your plants.
Fellas that post in the forums have a lot to gain 
The DYI videos product links, are exellent .
Me ... full spectrum 65k spiral and tube cfl and full spectrum led for my plants.
My coverage is a 12x12 grow room and a conditioned 16x50 grow area and a cool garage.
Note .....this is enough to keep the plants alive and not tossing leaves every day.
Absolutely not enough to hold a flower to go to fruit.
Lights will always cause your plants to grow tighter with seemingly smaller leaves.....normal
However..Check out the roots the container that your plant is in...And you will go sheeeeet.
Two current posting forum members who I know grow under lights are Subsonicdrone and Geissene...both have plants under lights.
These fellas are good
Iowa.....your doing good stuff over there..check out the fellas growing weed though 
But at the end of the day....I am still finding this stuff out. |

I was hoping you would reply to this thread, as you have a lot of experience with hydroponics and growlights, with growing bananas in pots.
I didn't want to go down the growlights road, but i realised if i want to grow the more beautiful varieties, which are more Tropical, then simply putting a banana in a warm south facing room, is just not going to be enough.
Looking at other YouTube videos, it seems most of the plants that people grow, mostly require the blue and red spectrum. I guess this is not the case with bananas, as with whats happening with mine, no petiole growth, only leaf growth even with 100w bulbs.
I will be looking at the cannabis videos.
Thankyou for the info and recommendation Mike.
