on the led lights.
This is my best artificial lighting set up yet.
My plants will see no sun until March.
I have been taking a picture every 3 days to track progress.
It will be fun to watch the plants thrive under LED lighting through out the winter.

Sounds like the plants will love the set up.

It's amusing at least. here are a few pictures.

My camera shows a blue hue, not visible to the eye.
Looking in the closet all you can see are the white color light.
Weird.

Our plants will get a good head start for next year.

oh, yes.
These same trees will try to produce next summer.
They will get the entire spring, summer and fall to
establish a good root system in the ground.
It gets them off to a good start.

Dragon fruit shoots.

I love my LED lights.
just cheap Chinese led's still running after 4 years on the one fixture with 2- 50 watt led's.
Colored led's are 5 years old.
Good enough, especially for all I had to pay for the leds. And they work just like day
1.

Very nice Doug.

One of my figs that was dormant is now starting to leaf out in my grow room so I pinched the top hoping for some side branches. I hope that was a good move.

Personally I like to let it all grow, then pinch the tops for side branching after it is full of leaves..
I'm sure you will be fine. It may stunt growth temporally.

Good work.
It is fun, if nothing else.
