So my Hope Peperomia is under a grow light 8 hours a day. Looks healthy, but would you call this leggy and needs more light?

It looks leggy. You can use the light meter function in the app to measure the amount of light reaching the plant. Check online to see the amount of light needed for this plant. I keep my lights about 1 foot from my plants.

My grow lights need to run 12 hours to 14 hours each day to provide enough light. They need less hours of sunlight.

Ugh, I was just saying my lights should probably be on 12 not 8 and I just don’t want them on that long, lol. Guess the plants are gonna rule the house like the animals do!

My grow light timers are only 12 hours, 14 hours and 16 hours. They can’t be set for less time.

Yes, looks to be stretching for more light. I have my grow lights on for 12hrs from 6am to 6pm.

I don’t use grow lights on mine at all. It just sits in a bright window. If it gets a little leggy, I just cut it back and water propagate the cuttings. Mine has never stood this tall before so this is kinda crazy to see haha

Now there’s a thought! I’d like it fuller.
