RE: 🌱 Home Gardening with Hydroponics - Seed Starting Update (August 14, 2017)
Do you have any issues with your wall plants getting leggy, since the light is a static location?

Hi Dean. Overall it's not too bad. The LED lights I use are fairly intense so the plants usually keep short and stout, but do grow up as we harvest the lower leaves from them. The plants will provide large leaves for around 45 days from first harvest day so you will have some length of stem given how much we get from them, but its not a "bolting" type leggy-ness.
This is from my previous batch earlier this year, most pants stay compact, a few get taller showing the stem where we harvested from.
A few more pictures are in this earlier post.

Thanks.
I was wondering if my LED squares were bright enough. They seem very bright, but I do get leggy issue. Next season I plan on lowering them a bit and of course, transplanting to larger containers and hopefully my outside garden wall will be done as well.
