First T5H0 light!
Just bought my first grow light after finally finding a console table to install it under (since I live in a condo, I wanted it to blend in with all my other furniture). Looking forward to seeing how this affects the growth of my plants.
Being winter, and a dreary and quite dark one here I might add, my plants seem to have stalled more than last year. My main question is, should I gradually introduce my plants to the grow light? Meaning, should I start off at just a couple hours and work up to the 12 hours of light I've seen recommended. I'm wondering if I just throw them under the light for 12 hours right away if that will shock the beejeebers out of them, cause burned leaves or a further stalling of their growth cycle.
I have to say, though, that they already look happier. Their leaves look shiny and sparkly. The kitchen is now renamed "Hawaii." The light is so cheery it also has the added benefit of making me feel more chipper. No wonder they make people wear those light contraptions for the winter blues.
