In this project we will be having a look at horticulture LEDs aka growing LEDs. I will explain why they can improve the growth of plants and then show you a practical example in which I built a high power LED board long with a driver circuit for it. At the end I will then use all the electronics in order to conduct an experiment in which I let arugula grow for 3 weeks with and without the growing lights. Let' see the results!
