They boast 10 dimmable lighting modes and three switch modes, both of which are targeted to improve various plant growth stages along the plant life cycle.

It is also very important to keep t he growing drawer in a cool place at this stage. ![]() Keep the growing light on for at least 12 hours a day. Keep the drawer with the pots in a warm place and in the dark with the soil moistened all the time at this stage before the seeds germinate.Īs soon as the the seeds sprout and break the soil(photo 5), remove the pots that have sprouted to the other drawer with the growing lights(photo 6).
