White LED bulbs work OK, but I could never get my plants to really thrive while I've used them. When I changed them to full spectrum purple grow lights, there was huge difference.

If your main goal is to put the plant somewhere you can watch it daily, use this light, but if you just wish to make it grow faster and healthier, use grow light. I use grow light during the winter and then I place them outside in full sun, for example.
