LED Gardening, week fiveSorry this post is late, it's been a bear of a week! This Sunday will mark the end of week 5 (from when the seeds were planted) of my indoor garden. Everything continues to flourish. The bush beans are the winner as far as growth (about 9" tall now). I've added a photo comparing mustard greens that were put in a larger pot previously, to one that remained in the seed starter cell -- the one that was in the larger pot is definitely bigger. I ended up choosing a few more plants to upgrade to larger pots and fed the remaining seedlings to my chickens. I probably won't post about this for a while unless something extraordinary comes up. I'm very happy with the LED lights. I can see being able to grow plants all winter long with them and may get a second light later this summer! I can just fit two flats under the lights. This is the first time I've been able to get basil to germinate and grow too. A note: While I was transplanting some seedlings I put my larger plants in the sun in my sunroom. They quickly began to wilt, I think from the heat. So any seeds I start under this light for my outdoor garden will definitely have to be hardened off to sun exposure.

These get no natural or supplemental light? If not, I am very impressed with seeing the growth. Can we see a picture of the light and fixture that you are using?
I tried to link to the photo but messed up. Just scroll down to my earliest posts (below) and you'll see the set up I started out with. This is a link to the lamp on Amazon. I ended up moving my setup to another room and getting closer to the plants, but correct, no sun.
