# Im still a complete newbie! But when adding my plants to this app, it…

_Publié par Tinkles le 2024-05-13_

Im still a complete newbie! But when adding my plants to this app, it asks how far from window, it’s about 15’ from the window so I’ve been putting the max but then thought, should I change it since they have lights?

Also is there a way to set it to lights ‘yes’ under the Site so I don’t have to go in to each one every time?  
It’s a gloomy day, but generally they do get some very in direct sun light through the day from a few windows, and then in the evening more sun comes through.

Please let me know any other app tips!! 💚

The large one in front of the cactus is getting moved and repotted today, I got him yesterday.

There’s a grow light option in the plant settings! I skip the window distance in this case for my grow light plants

I see it under each plant, I was hoping to just turn it on for the Site setting since they’re all in the same place.  
Good idea on the window placement, thanks!

I love your arrangement

#### Tinkles ha respondido el 2024-05-13

Thank you! I need a new shelf lol I have two more I can’t fit there.  
I keep shuffling them around!  
I heard this was addicting 😆 but dang!

I went from 3 plants to 37 in one weekend. Oops.

I love your shelves and the lights! Your whole arrangement is beautiful! Teach me your ways! 🥺

#### Tinkles ha respondido el 2024-05-13

Thank you! I figure if I invest enough, I’ll make it work!  
I started out with a smaller one, then returned that and ordered this off Amazon! And bought more lights

What a lovely set up!!

### Stesha a commenté le 2024-05-14

I love your set up!

That’s quite an investment as a newbie.

I thought I was a newbie. I only just graduated from windowsill to 1 large grow light for the winter months.

#### Tinkles ha respondido el 2024-05-16

Oh I know lol  
I figure if I invest enough, I’ll do everything to learn and keep them alive instead of the random or or two I let die lol and why is it so addicting?!!?  
I’ve ordered another shelf already!!
