LED Grow Light vs. Natural Windowsill Light


My basil is looking beautiful. The three in the back have been under the LED light and the two in the front have been in my kitchen windowsill catching natural sunlight. The window is facing west and gets a good amount of sunlight and a good amount of fog!!! I'm amazed as to how much bigger my LED basil plants are. They smell so good, too!

My parsley is growing growing, too. The two parsley plants on the left are under my LED light and the one on the right is in my windowsill. Quite a difference of growth with the LED light!

All of this indoor gardening is so exciting. I've enlarged my stand and am going to add a second light for my non-fruiting plants. My tomatoes and pepper plants are growing big, so I'm going to change their lighting soon to 12 hours a day instead of 18. I'm almost ready for them to begin flowering and making tomatoes and peppers. The romaine, arugula spinach, and herbs will grow under my second LED light with 18 hours of light a day.
Here's the latest picture and will update again soon! Enjoy~
