A friend of mine who grows suggested I use LED grow lights. They don't cause the smell to be overbearing, they cost less in electricity and I guess provide better lighting overall.
Do you think LED lights are better over standard grow lights? I am eyeing a few LED lights on Amazon, so I may go that route soon.
LED lights are a great option for indoor planting. Do thorough research before choosing any specific light. The general rule of thumb is to avoid any LEDs that look pink/purple. Look for full spectrum, white light and aim for at least 30 watts per square feet of canopy space.
I am new to using them as well. I used four a foot above my group of Begonia Rex and two parishes the light was too bright for them. I now use the same 4 lights on a lower setting. I don't know how low/high to set my lights but would rather be safe than sorry. You could start on a low or medium setting. If the succulent starts to get leggy because it's reaching for the light, increase the light setting. ? (This post was last modified: 07-29-2022, 10:53 AM by Afghanichatni.)
