No. It is not a true grow light, just a light meant to outline the green colors and make your plants look better. You're better of getting a 10 dollar bulb at home depot.

If nothing else, please save up for a Yescom 225 White LEDs Grow Light, also available from Amazon. It may be more than that other bulb, but it will allow you to grow stuff, happily.

Not sure yet, but its just one short tube so probably not too much.

It claims to be 2x more efficient than others.

Which one did you get? Any links? I have a few but for some reason I seem to like collecting them.

The first bulb is fine. All the lights mentioned are fine, you just have to put some of them closer to the plants. There's a pinned thread about how to measure light intensity. White LEDs all cover the same spectrum, since the color/wavelength is determined by the semiconductor material.
