  • Anyone tried starting seedlings under LED grow lights? I have a bit of unused counter space in a dark corner of my kitchen, and not a lot of window sill space. Would potentially be good for the rest of the year for growing bean sprouts / small salad leaves / basil etc.

  • I’ve done this for starting pepper plants early and growing cut n come again crops.
    We used cheap generic led grow lights from amazon but although they worked great for seedlings etc we decided they cost more to run than we gained in veg. We ended up passing them on to my folks.
    I’m sure a better quality light would work out far more economical and was a fun little project. As you can see from the pics the large propagator tray, led panels and generic garage racking is a match made in heaven.
    The faint pinky purple glow in the lounge was also fun :)

    Thanks, I figured this might be the case. I'll have to cost it properly at some point. I have some LED strips and a 12V transformer already, but they'd probably be the wrong colour and power to use alone.
