does this bulb work for tomatos

Yes, these bulbs work for tomatoes and many other plants. I start about 13 flats a year in my greenhouse and the lights are great for both germination and good growth of seedlings.

These bulbs are 5850K which will work great for tomato seedlings and growth. Exposure to full spectrum light in the 3000K range is usually required for blooming plant phases. These would be good for the plant to mature then switch to the cooler one for blooming. I am growing peppers and letting my plants get pretty established before I switch to the cooler color. Ive heard that you can grow a tomato plant through the entire life cycle with the cooler 2700-3100K bulb but I get best results for vegetation with these bulbs. Then switch to the cooler for blooming. Then back to the warmer color for the rest of the life cycle. These bulbs are 5850K which will work great for tomato seedlings and growth.

No. I couldn't imagine why it wouldn't work it works perfect for tomatoes. I think it would be fine if you're looking for a persimmons puree

Yes. It works. But, it does get hot. It's supposed to be the best type bulb for growing.

Yes but it uses a specality bulb by Ott. I've uploaded a picture of the bulb if you look under customer images.

I would assume it would work with any bulbs you wanted. Check to make sure the wattage does not exceed.

i used this item to shield bean sprouts from rabbits. it worked fantastic for that. it does provide some shading. not sure how it would work for tomatoes.

No. It is a very small base. Smaller than standard bulbs and a little larger than candabra base.

I have 4 2ft t5 lights and I started all my tomatoes. peppers, cabbage, squash and mellon plants and the lights were perfect. I had flowers on almost all my tomato plants before it was time to plant. every plant is in the garden and doing good. Hope this helps.

I don't know much about potted palms or it's light needs, but based on the small diameter output by this bulb I would guess not.

It should work. Plants need to drain so their roots are not sitting in water. Be sure to have them up off the bottom to avoid root rot. Also use a 12/12 hour schedule to mimic sunlight so the plants follow normal growing light. Use a timer. The bulb is not a plant light but it should work for starting plants.

absolutely no. Tomatoes need much more light. With 4, or even 8 bulbs they will get very tall and stringy. I wouldn't use this to grow the tomatoes more then 1 ft before getting them out side. I have a couple of these plus 4ftx 8 bulb units and they do a good job of starting them but can't be used to grow to maturity. Growing flowers is a different story ... they work great.

Yes, but if you need a brighter bulb, you can see this one I'm using. It works great, lasts long, and not that pricey either, Hope it helps Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

Um...it is possible that it would if they were pretty small and not expected to grow too much. This light only covers a small area. More suitable for one small house plants

Yes, I use it for my baby. Especially when he has a runny nose. Squeeze the bulb before you put it in the babies nose to suction.

Absolutely. It's a standard filament-style bulb, so it works great with a dimmer.

I say for sure but my experience is the timer works the electrical side of it all and therefore the bulbs should work as long as the electricity is flowing..., the be short and simple..., YES it should work with any bulb
