I’ve been working with three plants under three different light settings. When I finished my experiment, the fluorescent lighting caused the plants to flourish while the other two types of bulbs caused the plants to look unhealthy. Yet, I’ve been searching to find out what is in the fluorescent lighting that caused it to grow the plant best and can’t come up with any solid answers..help?

   Plants use red light and blue light. Plants do well when you use cool white and warm white in equal proportions. [who] Ralph
