My succulents weren’t getting enough light so I got a grow light, I’m wondering how long I should have it on for and when I should have it on, and if I have a grow light on it would the environment be considered like a full sun environment or like part sun environment in the window or what?

I think 10-12 hours would be good for succulents.

Agreed, I keep mind on from 7-7

Also, the light has blue light, red light, and then the two combined, and I’m wondering which I should use and when I would use each color

#### tortellini replied on 2024-01-01

I don’t know about that part. My grow light has white, yellow, and a mix, and I think I usually use the two combined but I’m not sure

You should be able to google what different colors do. I’m honestly not sure
