Would this tube work?

Would this type of fluorescent tube work for growing plants? I'm just wondering about the K rating and the type of tube.

Quickly it's....
6500K
T5 39W Daylight

That tube will be fine. Anything goes, really.
Also have a look here:

So the tube I was looking at would render something between the first two photos on that site...interesting. That's definitely bookmarked. Thanks 🙂 Now if I could just find 18" tubes with higher than 15w.
