Led mounted on side wall instead of top
Mel_Macallanstarted grow question 4 years ago
So I'm thinking about to build a pc grow box, just for seedlings. When they start to be bigger I'll move them to bigger grow box. I have a spare grow light but it's to wide to mount in top of grow box. So I was wondering if I could mount it on the side wall?

You could,it will only stretch for the light so keep it close and keep turning it and it shouldn't be an issue.If it does stretch a little just plant it up higher.Get some more dirt/coco/stones/rockwool in there.

just an idea : you can get 22W LED strips that should be easy to handle. Hope this helps ! 🚀

If you do, your plants will grow sideways, toward the light.

If you do mount on the side you could flip it than the side would be the top.

You could I wouldn't. I would use something that it would fit in or on top of. I use an old dresser I cut the top open and my lights sit on the top. Lights not in the box. You could use almost anything that fits the needs of your seeds and light.

LED distance in grow 80x80x160I placed the LED at a distance of 45-50cm from the seeds
and consequently it was about 65-70cm from the larger plant.
I have 4 plants
Is it ok like this?
I don't have a luxmeter and I use the phototone app to get an idea of the PPFD in each plant.

Diferencia en el color verde de las hojasEstas plantas automáticas están recibiendo la misma alimentación, agua, etc y están en el mismo tipo de sustrato. Pero unas (las más oscuras) reciben luz artificial adicional (Neón CFL) para llegar a tener 17h de luz al día. ¿Es normal la diferencia? ¿Cuál se ve mejor?
