I sorta presumed he was growing weed as opposed to flowers :-)

In which case for increased resin, small leaves and smaller inter nodal
lengths the 'unbalanced' UV intensive light from 'normal' fluorescent
tubes might be beneficial? Well, that was the thinking when I was aware
of a loft-space farm in the flats at uni' - and the results certainly
seemed to bear the theory out. ;-) Also important seemed to be
minimising the distance of the tubes from the leaves (without
accidentally scorching) and a very impressive pulley system was
implemented to go along with timers on the lights and the irrigation
plumbing. [Sadly, word got out and van loads of blue people arrived one
night... ...and busted a guy for a few crumbs who was totally unaware of
the farm just one floor above his head!!!]

i think i just wrote too much!!!
