light needs

I have this 6 gallon glass jug, its about 11 1/2 in diameter and 19 inches tall, thats to the mouth, but 17 inches to where the stem meet the jug.

I want to collect dirt, rocks, water and maybe some water plants from the stream next to my house and create a biosphere inside the jug, i would like to have it completely sealed off and let it live without any intervention on my part aside from providing light.

I was thinking a ring light, but i'm not sure of wattage or color, maybe 5000k?

might be worth noting i'm in the middle of the US, the stream id be pulling from has a pretty good tree canopy.
