I planted my plants, I had three, in a area set aside along our building. Each plant got the sun for 2 or 3 hours a day, otherwise it is a shady area. I would not plant these in a total shady area. I hope this helps.

I live in a townhome complex and there is a area to put plants. Due to the rotation of the sun, during the day, each plant receive sun light for two to three hours a day. I would not plant in a complete shaded area, but one that will allow some sun, off and on, during the day. I hope this helps.

Full to partial sun OUTSIDE in the garden. I found that growing indoors under plant grow lights was not enough and the plants died.

Yeah am using all 3 lights on my plant.its a slower process but that's what i was shooting for instead of a rapid process getting bigger flowers than my 300w light so far so good.

Yes.Although most plant prefer a "warmer" photo spectrum (red and yellow light more emphasis ) the fixture is full spectrum. You would probably REVERSE what most coral keepers do by running the blue light LESS and the full spectrum lights MORE to help you freshwater plants. Of course use of laterite in the gravel bed and a CO2 system ( very expensive and not necessarily needed ) will also help. I love to see a well planted freshwater tank with lots of schooling fish along with rockwork and wooden logs. To me they rival all but the best of saltwater reef tanks. I'm not kidding... heavily planted freshwater tanks are gorgeous! Yes.Although most plant prefer a "warmer" photo spectrum (red and yellow light more emphasis ) the fixture is full spectrum.

light is NOT integral and can be left off. use any nano light you wish. light is really not bright enough for corasls or plants anyway.

It is to start your plants indoors. It emits the sun. What you are looking for is a suspended light fixture.

what I use is a simple cheap lamp that has a metal shade behind the light and has a clamp that can be attached to something solid. I think I paid about 10 bucks for it at a hardware store. It sure grew lots of plants for me.

It really depends and your tank, and set up. But in general I would say. The Plant+ is great light for most aquariums. The Planted+ is ideal for tanks with plants that like low to medium light. If you don't have natural plants in your tank, it still will help create a warm rich color, which may help show off your fishes' natural red and yellow colors. The low power combustion and long life are also benefits over old fashion tube lights.

It's a very bright, white light. Not what one would describe as esthetically pleasing. But, it the plants really like it.

This light has the full spectrum of light that plants need. It has separate switches for the vegetative lighting (purple) and the flowering lighting (red). During flowering, you would switch on both switches to output the whole spectrum.

The lighting is very bright. Very good for plants, too bright for atmosphere. I used for 1 hour then returned it.Now I use a light bar that had a remote for adjusting, brightness and color changes. My plants are doing fine. I think the name brand is Current.

You could get a different color/spectrum. Most like HPS for flower. The better the light penetration the better flower.

Yes, you need to get a, "High Output T-5," grow light system. You may, also think about a heating pad, if you are starting your plants in the early Spring when it is still cool out doors. I hope you don't plan on growing your plants completely inside your apartment, because I am not sure long term use of the system will work. Mostly, the system is for starting plant and moving them outdoors.

Depends on the type of plant. It's not super bright so while it'd probably be sufficient for low to medium light plants, the light is definitely not strong enough for high light plants unless you have a shallow tank, and position the plants right below the light.

It does not come with a light. After your seeds have sprouted they wil need a lot of light, a sunny window may be enough, if not put the seedlings under a fluorescent light. Check some garden sights online for how much light your little plants need.

Hi - I'm sorry I don't know what plant species that is. I tried to use this light for my indoor herbs - but it was not strong enough to maintain my basil plant - but I know that basil requires a lot of light. Hope this helps.

The type of lighting and how long it is on plays a big roll in plant health. You shouldn't have to use more than one type of Plant Food.
