Can a HO T5 UV light grow plant life?

[Jon c]

I have an arcadia brand high output 12% UVB T5 light. I was wondering if that type of light wouId be able to sprout seeds and grow stuff like Testudo mix? Thanks.

I think UVA is for the plants.

I think UVA is for the plants.

That makes sense. It makes 30% UVA. I would think this type of light is essentially the same as T5 "grow lights", witch are perfect for sprouting seeds and growing plants.
