Marijuana. In the prohibition era just ending, many people discovered this in surreptitious basement experiments.

You do realize that those are grow lights, which are at a different color temp and higher wattage than normal office lights.. right?

Cannabis plants grow quite alright under fluorescent lights. Grow lights are better of course. There are also fluorescent grow lights (available in different spectra) but they are less cost effective than high pressure sodium or metal halides.

Can't cite a source on this one, you're just going to have to take my word for it. Seen it work in practice :)

More specifically they are high pressure sodium lights or Metal-halides. No ganja plant could healthily grow under fluorescent light. Wattage can range from 100-1500 these days. Maybe even 2000 if you check the latest gear out. That industry is constantly upgrading.
