My plants are LIVING
I bought this back in early November to keep my plants alive. Once I turned 30, I needed to have a lot of plants. Why? No idea. Anyway, I live in like zone 4a, and our winters last like ten years at a time. I think the white walkers will be coming any day now.
I only have a north-facing and eastern windows in the main rooms of my house. So on top of being in Winterfell, I also have almost no actual sunlight (IF it’s sunny) coming into my house. These lights have kept my plants alive and growing for the past three months.
Tips to get the most out of it:
Clamp it somewhere high enough so that the light can reach all plants.
Turn your plants around so they get equal amounts of light.
The timer is great, but I don’t really use it that much. I mostly leave the lights on for the 9 hours I’m gone every weekday.
I alternate between all the lights, and just the blue and red lights. I only use the plain white when I’m having a look at the leaves, soil, etc.
if you mist your plants, do it when you’ll be turning the lights off. Not sure if the leaves will actually burn under the lamps if wet, but why risk it?
Make sure you’re giving your plants a break. They do need dark periods of time, like people.
And of course, water your plants!
