I don't think growing with just infrared is such a good idea man.

Think about it this way - when plants are outside, they're not just growing under infrared. Sure, that's part of the light spectrum, but it's certainly not the entire spectrum.

You need to have a full spectrum light in order to trick your plant into thinking that it's outside. You'll need to find better lights, and if possible, find a light that's made specifically for plant growing.

You can find those at plant shops and grow shops. At least, I can find them in stores around me - and definitely online man.

You will need a better light, even if you're just growing one plant.

a infra red light would probably contain no photosynthetic active radiation at all
so the plant wouldnt grow or would but a extremely stunted
