Yes the ipower hps 600 watt is a great light for the price I use them myself plus i keep two on my self for spares. I use 2 ipower 600 watt cool tubes and they great for flowering

A light like this will work .......this bulb only lasted for less them 6 months....go with a more reputable brand for as they say Long Life........they didn't even offer a replacement bulb after my review

This(HPS bulb) is meant for flowering.........use a metal halide for vegetative.

Sorry, I have never grown tomatoes or any other type of plant so I wouldn't know if this type of lighting would work for that purpose.

Unlikely, unless you plan on keeping plants that thrive in low light. This light is primarily for fish only tanks, and you'll need two side by side to obtain sufficient light.

We keep ours indoors over the winter and it seems to do fine. It definitely thrives when it is outside, but I don't think it is absolutely necessary as long as it has plenty of natural light. It does grow fairly quickly and might soon outgrow a low ceiling!

yes it does; its important to keep your plants at least 18 inches away from the light and try to minimize anything being in contact with the light

Probably not. You need to get a warmer color temperature light that is closer to 3000K (soft or warm white) to supplement your current lighting. You don't need to have a large lamp to prompt your plants to flower; a smaller CFL along with a full spectrum light will be good enough.

If your hood is open and not a tube you could do that BUT cooling the light allies you to keep light at a closer level to plants, more lumens equals less stretch and more growth, also add a carbon filter or it will reek

You would have to be sure the bulb does not touch the vinyl sides of the greenhouse, and that none of your electrical connections can get wet. Your electrical cord should be plugged into a ground fault circuit in case water contacts the connections. Other than that, your grow light should be fine. I used a heat lamp in mine last winter when the outside temperature fell below 28ºF, using the safety precautions I mentioned, and had no problems.

You can use the light inside but it will shine right through the clear plastic. This is a greenhouse you need a grow tent

Should be ok. As suggested, you may want some floating plants (like duckweed) to filter the light if it's too much.

You can use a combinations of things to grow veggies indoors, but I'm not really sure this light alone will do. I am not an expert gardener, but in the years that I been doing it, I can tell you that plants that rip veggies or fruits require a good amount of light. I think your better off with lettuce and other greens

I was hoping it would, but my plant did not thrive... although it is most likely because I didn't water it regularly. But I actually moved the plant to the top of my cabinet where it is closer to the overhead lights - and it's doing great. The lamp is great for adding light in my cubical and since that was the reason I bought it, I'm happy with it.

I don't know about using this for a grow light.

it will work for some plants but all you would need to do is get a plant light to put into the hood. which would work better. you should be able to replace the bulb with the right light for plants. so to your question the light is not suitable for plants but a easy fix.

Should be okay. Doesn't get too hot. A bulb in the 6700k color range will be better for plants. However, it depends on what plants you are growing

A grow light is a fixture designed to provide full-spectrum light to plants grown inside, such as seedlings or hydroponics. As such, I don't imagine that this light fixture is weather-proof. If your shed does not leak, then you will probably be safe with this unit, but I imagine you could find a light fixture for a lower price that better suits your needs.

It should do fine. However, as you'll only get a little sun during the summer months, it would be a good idea to get some augment light, such as a small LED grow light. I keep mine indoors all the time -- it's not going to get too big -- and I have augmented light. Just don't let the temperatures get below 60 degrees as it is tropical.
