I just got a grow light for my lil guys because my desk doesn’t get a whole lot of sun. The reviews I got online were good but just wanted to ask the professionals (you guys) to see how you’ve liked yours! :)

    This will be my first year using grow lights on cactus and succulents, but I do use them on a lot of my other plants and they work out great. The sun and the humidity are always best but it gets me through the winter and allows me to have plants in darker rooms. Good luck!

      I’m gonna get them as much sun as possible, but I actually have a humidifier which will hopefully be helpful aswell :) we’ll be newbies for this together 😆

    The one on the bottom (Mars Hydro) is amazing, but honestly too powerful and probably best suited for the plants/crops it is intended (rhymes with slannabis). People hate the purple/blue lights, but any blue plant I have thrives with it. But an example of using grow lights vs sun is the huge one back left. Her pads have GROWN but they aren’t showing the scarlet color that happens with full sun.

    This has one long light, two thin panel lights in the back and gets a few hours of full sun - much more as the sun gets lower.
