And unlike most fluorescent shop lights, this plant light has a built in moisture sensor that reminds you when it's time to water. Just insert the water sensor in the soil, and a flashing light lets you know when the soil is dry. The pebbled base holds a 5 1/2"" pot, and serves as a combination catch basin/humidity tray to create the right moisture balance for your plant.
You're correct, the listing does say all that, but you'd be better served purchasing a either a H.I.D. light (hps or MH) or get some CFL's (thats what I'm doing until I can get my HPS).

Keep in mind that a 5.5" pot isn't goint to really cut it for a growing nice yeilding plant to marturity, also Many say you're supposed to induce flowering when your plants hit 8"-12" tall, then they could double in size during flowering making that light too small. Even if you tried to grow a dwarf strain like lowryder or master low, both of wich probably won't grow taller than 16", that light still probably isn't powerful enough or large enough. See where I'm going with this?

Happy growing:thumbsup:
