Depending on the grow light, most have to be a max of 10-12 inches away some even as close as 4-6 inches to get any results.
@EarlyGreyknight I just saw your entire picture, those are the worst. I had several that ended up in the trash because my plants ended up looking like yours. After lots of reading and researching, I switched to Sansi. The results have been great and my plants love them.
@EarlyGreyknight what is Sansi?
It’s a brand of grow light fixtures and bulbs. They have a website. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to share it on here. Google will get you to it.
They also come with a 5 year replacement warranty.
@ZestWoodvetch19 No worries crotons typically loses it leaves. seasonally be happy it will have fresh leaves. Cut it back by a third and as soon as growing season comes back so will you leaves. I like SANSI is a great brand but honestly not necessary. I have a few and notice no difference from the rest except the warranty as the above poster mentioned.
@EarlyGreyknight Yes you can share though Amazon has them too.
@ZestWoodvetch19 Sorry forgot to mention to water lightly throughout the domant season.
@ZestWoodvetch19 @EarlyGreyknight I love Sansi and barrina grow lights. Not too expensive and I get great results. I usually stick with these brands because they’re from good reputable companies. I have a couple Sansi grow lights that have a lifetime warranty replacement on the bulbs. The other grow light companies that might be cheaper also offer these β€œwarranties” but they usually go out of business so fast you will never get them replaced.
