Can regular LED lights grow plants?

Question

Can regular LED lights grow plants?

Answer

Yes, regular LED lights can help plants grow but may not be as effective as full-spectrum or plant-specific LED lights.

Regular LED lights emit light across different wavelengths, including blue and red which are essential for photosynthesis. However, they might lack specific spectrums that full-spectrum or plant-specific LED lights provide to promote optimal growth. So while they can support plant growth, using specialized lighting will likely yield better results.
