Growing tips
There are two switches on the LED light system which will provide different types of light depending
on what stage of growth your plants are in.
The Growth setting is best used when your plants are seedlings or in the early phases of growth.
When your plants are big enough to fl ower and bloom, turn on both the Growth and Bloom buttons
to provide the full spectrum of light. The length of the growth and blooming growing cycles will vary
depending on what type of plants you are growing.
In general for most herbs and vegetables, we recommend the following light cycles:
Growth cycle: 18 hours on / 6 hours off or 20 hours on / 4 hours off for approximately 20 to 30 days.
Bloom cycle: 12 hours on / 12 hours off for approximately 20 - 30 days.
Typically most herbs and vegetables have a maturity date between 45 - 90 days. How long your
plants take to mature will vary based on what type of plants you are growing.
Note: Danby Products Ltd will accept no liability for any lost plants or weak harvests based on inap-
propriate use of the timer and light system.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. How often do I need to water?
•
The best tip for watering is to use the trays provided. Place plant pots into the tray and water by
adding approximately an inch of water to the tray for the plants to soak up as needed. Try to keep
as least some water in the trays at all times. Check the seed packet or plant information tag for
guidance on how often to water your plants.
2. Why does the light look purple?
•
The purple tint of the light is the result of a combination of colors derived from the sun's spectrum.
Simple white grow lights do not provide plants with the full spectrum of light that the sun provides
so the result is less healthy plants and less hearty harvests. Our ultra-effi cient and advanced LED
full spectrum lights cover more spectrum than any other grow lights. The combination of the reds
and blues among other colors create the purplish color.
3. There is no power to the unit.
•
Ensure that there are no blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers in your home. Ensure that the
power plug is fully inserted into the outlet. Unplug the unit, wait 2 minutes and then plug it back in.
