Neil_C Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Hi all, I’m looking to setup some supplementing lighting for my sarrs while I have a little work carried out so need to bring them indoors for a few weeks. Having done a little research it seems that LEDs are a popular choice, but I’m just confused as to what PAR value/s or wattage I would need as it seems sarrs, given there height (I’m presuming) could be a little awkward to grow. Or would a T5 setup be a better option perhaps? If anyone could offer some advise or point me in the right direction of a brand, what wattage or PAR/Lux I would need. I only need to cover a 2ft by 2ft area. Thanks in advanced Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantfreak Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 I have not used LEDs, but Peter D’Amato says that T5s are good.(also, he says that some growers have had success with LEDs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmosis Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 I grow sarracenia seedlings with full spectrum LEDs (MarsHydro SP series) between 10,000-20,000 lux with 18 hour days. They grow strongly and with great colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
