lol....well i can't plant it outside around here.....there is just no way in hell....i'm going to get bigger lights.....a double 4 footer...and i just planted some more so i guess i can do things right on them this time....or atleast try. and all the reg aquarium light is, is a 18 inch uv light....(the same thing as a grow light) it just has the decorative top parts instead of looking like shop floro's and it's alot shorter...
