Seedling grow lamp advice
Apart from using the white LED strips I had, I didn't get anywhere else with the idea. Once the seedlings got big enough, I planted them out in the garden.

I have some white 12V white LED strips that I have ready to put down my hallway, waiting for some microcontrollers to arrive before I can put them up, so might use them for my seedlings in the meantime.

Seedling grow lamp advice
I am starting a vege garden, and have started some seedlings in soil blocks, but being me, I want to tech it up and make some LED lights to try and get them growing a bit better and more stocky (they only get light through the window at the moment and they are pretty spindly) I have done some...- vsmfarqp
