Full Spectrum Bulb vs. Standard LED - Is a grow light worth it or do your seedlings not care?

One of my favourite parts of gardening is the experimentation that goes along with it. It's a continual process of learning and improving on your findings.

Recently I came to realize I just don't have enough window space for all the plants I want to start indoors. A good solution for me was to utilize some old desk lamps for supplemental light that would easily pack away for the rest of the year. While I started by using any light bulb I had available I got curious whether a grow light aka full spectrum bulb would provide an additional benefit to the seedlings.

In this video I put them to the test against each other to see if the extra $$$ for the grow light is worth it. I'll show you the process and results from start to finish so you know exactly what to expect!
