DaisyI said:Red, blue and white light is fine but UV is not. Are you confusing UV and LED? The problem with LED is they aren't as bright as fluorescent bulbs - it takes more light to accomplish the same thing. You really can't calculate lumens or foot candles by counting the lightbulbs. Full sun is about 2000 lumens or foot candles per square foot. Your plants are clearly indicating they are receiving enough light - they are stretching and turning yellow.

Its still a little chilly in South Dakota for peppers to be happy without protection. You are at latitude 44N and I am at 39N. My peppers are outside with Walls-O-Water AND tomato greenhouses for protection.

Am I Better getting some Fluorescent light bulbs to add to the current ?
It is lower 80s during the day, and very humid. A little afraid of the heat shock to them. This is why I have a tester plant. The one that seemed have the stem turn red.

And how big do they need to get to think about replanting?
