Why what happened?
They worked in the beginning, but when the plants got to 5+ inches tall, they started looking bad. Took me forever to realize it was the lights.
I had to get a lightmeter to measure lux and light was only putting out 4k lux at most.
Maybe I had just gotten a bad brand, but it was advertised as grow light at home depot and it was very similar to what Gary had. Found it.

4k lux
Yeah, I’d say at bare minimum you need 5k. But I’d shoot for much higher than that. Low light makes them leggy and harder to harden off. I have about 20k now, but I’m going to upgrade to that 40k next season.
