At the propagation phase, a smaller amount of light is required to drive energy into beginning root development. If light intensity is too high, it can have negative effects on the plant’s development.
The ROOT!T T5 lights provide a gentle light which helps the plantlets carry out the necessary processes to produce their own energy to grow.
Some types of seed such as Begonia, Impatiens, Lettuce & Petunia have a requirement for light to help with germination (sow on top of compost). Other seeds such as peas, beans calendula prefer to germinate in the dark. Some do not mind either way – check your seed packets for tips!
These lights are affordable, convenient, light weight, easy to assemble & adapt. They produce little heat which means that you can hang them closer to the plantlets avoiding wasting that precious light!
T5 Light strips are 4ft (122cm) in length. ROOT!T Power Cord not included
TIP: Do not place the light closer than 4 inches or further than 24 inches away. Use ROOT!T link cords to daisy chain lights together to suit your growing environment.
