Ok, so i was wondering.... as i do.
Would it be possible to grow plants using Fire as the light source?

And i dont want responses about Heat etc... because i can contain that. I just want to know if Fire is a good Light source. Which Spectrum of light does it emmit?


-- Also for fairly large size room is it worth painting the whole room white or using "Emergency Blankets" as the reflector...

Merry Christmas :)

That shit would never work. There is no way you can generate that much light with fire without killing them or burning down the room. even if you could contain the fire, the walls would turn black from smoke and the paint would peel from heat. That's not even taking the plants into consideration.

really? this is the first thing you post? at least its in teh right category. hah crazy idea but thats how a lot of things start i guess. no answer sorry, but good luck with that....just for an idea, one lumen would be about = to one candle...so for one cfl bulb equivalent to 150 watts (42 actual watts) , this produces 2700 lumens. for one good indoor plant you need around 2 minimum 42 watt cfls. meaning youd need the equivalent of 5400 lumens or 5400 candle power. thats a lot of candles. as for teh spectrum of light it emits, i do not know. best of luck to you

Not gonna happen. Even if it emits the right spectrum of light, its not ENOUGH light. Think how bright a few cfls are compared to a camp fire? Never mind comparing the fire to an hps?

Think about this realistically: would you want to be the guy to have to stoke the fire every day for the duration of the grow, even IF it would be enough light in the right spectrum?

No thanks. But A+ to you for "thinking outside the (grow) box", lol. :blsmoke:

I don't know about fire, but I hear you can use a bunch of laser pointers all concentrated at the plants leaves.

I've got a better idea...

Easily cheaper than the price of firewood throughout an entire grow...
