Growing under lights

Growing under lights

Do you happen to know if a basic light-meter will work with the
red/orange/blue-LEDs which are designed to only deal light at the
absorption maxima of chlorophyll or will it need light from the full
spectrum?

If growing under light is something you'd like to pursue, I would
purchase a relatively cheap light meter for about $30. That will give
you a more scientific and consistent way to work relative to natural
sunlight. The edges of shelves away from the cone of light that Kipp
mentioned have much reduced intensity so they're good spots for
growing more shade plants. Nhu
