# I have several plants under grow lights for the winter. How do I find…

_Posted by Stephanie on 2025-01-14_

I have several plants under grow lights for the winter. How do I find out if the color of the light is the right one for the plants. I have some lights that are pink and others that are yellow to white. My hoya's seem to like the pink but others don't. Thanks for any help you can give me

You'd have to look at the product details, and then the plants preference. Red or blue is the ideal usually. Blue is the best for chlorophyll production. Reds usually ideal for fruiting/blooming, though will contribute to foliage too. Yellow isn't necessary. Also keep in mind the lumens. Some of your plants can get sunstressed or scorched depending on their light requirements and how strong the light is. You can check the lumens with this app. And move a plant further away from the light if it's too much.

Thanks for the info. I will do some checking

I’m using grow lights by YADOKER; are you familiar with them? I don’t know a whole lot about grow lights, but use quite a few of them. Is there anything you can tell me about this brand of light? TIA…

I don't know that brand. A lot of their smaller lights had no info about color spectrum. This desk version said it was full spectrum though. It didn't list the lumens(brightness) though, just that it could be dimmed. But you can just check that with the app

What kind of grow lights do you use TIA…

Most of mine right now are Barrina T5. But I have other Barrina full spectrums or soltech around the house too.
