So I already have these, these purple LED lights on my windowsill, and these strip lights on a shelf, and I read that they can work as grow lights so just wanted to check if anyone anyone might have more input on it either of the set ups will help at all. I’m propagating a ton of cuttings right now and I have a north facing windows, so I don’t get any direct light at all especially with the winter months being so cloudy.

I have read that white and blue LED Christmas lights can provide some supplemental light. Not sure how bright they would need to be, to be effective. There are some articles online about it.

They can’t be the only light but my plants right next them are producing bigger leafs, than the same plant 60 cm away
