LED Grow Light Operation
The system features a 36-watt full-spectrum LED grow light that is tuned to maximize photosynthesis. The light operates on an automatic 16-hour on / 8-hour off timer, eliminating the need for manual control. The height of the LED panel is adjustable, allowing you to lower it during the seedling period and raise it as plants grow taller, ensuring optimal light exposure at all stages.
