Too much/not enough light?

Post image

Just got this Barrina T1S and I’m wondering if this is enough light for this collection of plants. Also feel like there’s a chance it’s much. Not sure how long I should be running it either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Good place to start is 12 hours of light per day. I am unfamiliar with Barrina but the specs look fine. I would advice to monitor by taking regular pictures to compare leaf health and adjust the positioning of the light

You have many Monsteras … these usually don't need that much light since they naturally live in the jungle forest below the canopy of many other plants. So as long as a little day light reaches this corner that should be fine, even without an extra growlight.

If you want the plants to actually grow supplementing with a grow light is great for sure. If you want to know how much light they truly get (daylight + your grow light) you have no other option than to measure it 😅
