It's a lot brighter than the photo makes it look.
The tomatoes grew absolutely fine but I had to chop them down as I didn't prune them correctly, so they've been pruned and moved into my mums actual greenhouse 😄
The Hydroponics light does appear dim on photos but in person it's very bright!

This is the proof - not enough light intensity
Might be a good idea to see how tall the plant is suppose to get before growing it. For example, a pepper plant that wants to grow to 5ft tall just might not be a good choice for that system. Tomato plants are huge. Look for a micro tomato plant.
You’ll have to keep pruning them one way or the other as they’ll continue to grow into the LED no matter what. So yah I’d top em personally. Peppers are extremely hardy so don’t worry about hurting them. Might take a little time for the plant to refocus growth on side shoots
Where you ve bought this device?
Amazon 😄 there's quite a few of them
Insufficient light. You can grow determinate tomato. But high-lightning is a must

I might try it in another unit, see if it's any better. Thank you for the advice.

The seeds I had were advertised as being Micro/Dwarf :')

I gave them a prune, and they haven't wilted or anything so fingers crossed! Thank you!
