It would probably be better to just find some growlights with the correct spectrum output for plants...but I would leave them outside anyways though, at least until Oct/Nov so they start going dormant.

Try it out, give us updates, pls.. But already I know 6500k is enough. Ultraviolet lights are higher on a level spectrum plants can't use. But it may work, the uv radiation may cause the plant to adjust itself by producing its sunblock, anthocyanin.
