What are some good grow lights?

  • Hello, I am interested in growing a dwarf Gros Michel tree indoors in Michigan. I heard that dwarf banana trees can grow to be 5-8 ft tall.
    What are some good grow lights that are 8 ft tall or more and what would you guys recommend for taking care of the plant?

  • I'm Intrigued. Bananas in Michigan! They would work out to be pretty expensive bananas I guess.

     Do you grow anything else indoors artificially?

     I have only grown bananas naturally in the tropics, and they were the lady finger variety, sometimes called sugar bananas. I had never heard of gros michel.

    Sorry I can't say anything about grow lights.

  • I don't know what kind of grow light to reccommend for that. I have friends who built a small greenhouse onto their house with recycled materials to keep a few tropical trees in. It didn't cost much because they did the labor and used old windows and used lumber. 
    Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: and to keep one's self unspotted from this world.

    No, I never have used grow lights before. Gros Michel bananas were the bananas you would see in stores prior to the 60s. Banana flavored candy is based off of their flavor.
