My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Growing under Lights

Got some LED's but do I need more?

12 years ago

I tried growing indoor last winter (4Lx4Wx6H box) but only had 2x60 watt blubs (incandescent) the tomato plants I had in there were tall and wimpy so I got some LED's this time I'm wonder if I need more?

3x10watt 3xred/2xblue LED's (one each side wall)
1x15 watt 2xred/blue/green (top adjustable height)

From what I've read 45 LED watt's is about 4.5x60 watt Incandescent equaling 270~ watts is this a good amount or should I add a bit more? Also should I go for another color (like white)?
