A low-iodine diet requires that you cut out dairy products and eat only a little meat, so itâs conducive to eating vegan. Hereâs a list of foods you CAN eat on a low-iodine diet: Small portions fresh chicken, turkey, beef, pork, veal. Homemade rice (not enriched or a packaged mix) Pasta (with no salt or eggs) 1-2 slices of bread/day (if total sodium content is less than 20 mg per serving)
Cycle the grow lights on and off appropriately. You cannot maximize plant growth by simply leaving the grow lights on 24 hours each day. In fact, this is a good way to stress and kill your houseplants. Instead, aim to leave grow lights on continuously for about 14 to 16 hours each day, which simulates spring sunlight. A good way to ensure that the grow lights are cycled on and off each day is to wire them to a timer. You can purchase a light timer at most home improvement stores.
Foliage plants need about 14-16 hours of light per day. Flowering plants need 12-16 hours of light per day. Darkness is also important for plant growth so this gives your plants at least 8 hours of total darkness a day.
