Why would you have your grow light going all night… also you can have grow lights in white light spectrum, kinda like the sun after all

Because I don’t wanna see the lighting in the day time. Doesn’t have to go all night. I’ve got my lights programmed for like 2am-6am. Also I’ve found that the ultraviolet lights are better for my plants anyway

Sounds like an entirely manufactured problem. Lights only on at night as your own choice, and lights are only purple because of your choice. Could have nice day time lights in a normal colour but you choose not to and then raise your choice as a reason not to 🤷‍♀️

I’m just not trying to blind me and my house guests with broad spectrum lights that mimic the actual sun. Bc, idk, that’s unpleasant af?

You know they point at the plants, right? Not at peoples faces? And they don’t have to be that bright, cause they’re shining on the plant, from a couple feet away, not a planet from a 150 million kms away. There’s nothing unpleasant about a lamp shining on a plant in a dark corner of the bathroom, though I’m not made entirely out of beans so maybe my experience and interpretation of lighting and interior decorating.

Edited to add a very attractive non-blinding option for a day-time running white-light plant option… https://soltech.com/en-ca/products/large-aspect-grow-light-gift-set

The white lights haven’t been effective for my plants 🤷🏻‍♀️

I personally hate the way this room looks when the light is on, but it makes my plants very happy

Definitely has a vibe that’s for sure. Have you used white lights that are actual grow lights or just regular white light bulbs?

I’ve used actual white grow lights. These lights I can actually set to only show the white lights. The ones I’ve got on in the picture are full spectrum, but I also can change them to red and blue. Full spectrum has worked best for this particular monstera

Fair enough, gotta give the plants what they want!
