Can basilcum get to much light?

6 years ago

Hello, my name is sinder. Im kind of new to any kind of growing, i love to make asian food. but due to covid, getting holybasil,sweet basil and thai basil is hard without having to drive for hours. so i figured out il grow it myself, ive failed once already and i dont wanna fail again. So Can basil get to much light? what will happen if i leave the light on 24 hours a day. i put new seeds into the soil 4 days ago and have had the light on constantly since then. can it be to much light for Basil as im confused when im reading about the sunlight for it. it says " as much sunlight possible " but this is not sunlight this is indoors lights. so does that mean i can have the light on all the time or does it need rest? Im using a Self watering system, with a Humidity meter as it says basil likes 40-60% humidity with temp from 24C to 28C, and a computer fan connected to a battery so the basil can get some artificial wind when it grows.



I added some foil in it to make so the light reflects better and got 2 more lights on the way. and a proper grow lamp from internet, but it make take some time before i get it due to covid.
