Light intensity is only one of three key components which ensure proper growth. Soil condition along with the proper amount and frequency of watering round out the other two components. You should learn about your plant’s growth cycle to maximize growth and reduce challenges along the way. By doing so, you can select the proper model and light spectrum combination to provide sufficient lighting. We suggest regular inspections to confirm that plants are on the correct growth track.

Johnson says that for germination and seedlings, you can run lights to hours per day until they are a few inches tall. &#;As they mature,&#; she adds, &#;you can slowly reduce to get them on a similar light pattern for spring before you transplant them.”
