8. Getting started

The plant light only provides the necessary light for your plants. Make sure you provide the correct
amount of nutrients and water, and ensure the ambient temperature is appropriate.

8.1 Growing

Use the screws [M8 x 16] (13) to fix the LED hood (1) to the spacers (2 and 3) at the lowest level if
you are growing plants from seed. If you have larger plants or your seeds have already grown, you
need to adjust the height of the LED hood (1) accordingly. Make sure that your plants do not touch
the LED hood (1). Leave clearance of at least 5 cm to your plants.
Remove the lids (5) from the pots (12) and fill them with soil (e.g. planting soil or potting compost).
Now plant the seeds. Then place the lids (5) on the pots (12) to create the optimum growing
conditions. The lids (5) are a little translucent to ensure your plants get sufficient light. As soon as your
plants germinate or start touching the lids (5), you need to remove the lids (5). Do not repot the plants
until the roots are strong enough.
Make sure there are sufficient nutrients in the potting compost you select. Nitrogen and salts can
hamper growth. The soil used should also be free of pathogens. The soil should not be too firm or
too heavily compressed as this prevents the seedlings from forming roots.
Note: You can also use seeding pellets or tabs to grow your plants. These are particularly good for
growing herbs, flowers and vegetables. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the seeding pellets
or tabs you use.
