OT: modelling light and seed germination

Hugh_C · 2012-01-18 00:28:04

I'd like to shoot mung beans sprouting in time-lapse, will they germinate using the modelling light on a Bowens head? I have a room where i can exclude all other light, so this would be ideal, just dunno if there's enough UV ... Any botanists/herbalists out there? :p

I know very little about beans but germination usually doesn't need light (or possibly a very brief exposure) just sufficient heat and moisture.
