Artificial LED Lighting for House Plants

This project aimed to create a controllable artificial lighting system for house plants using RBG LEDs.

I decided on making this because I have a succulent plant in my dorm that doesn't get much sunlight due to the orientation of my room. I decided to give the aritifical lighting a try, as part of a mini-experiment to see if the lights will have an impact on plant growth.

Three breadboards stacked, each with a different coloured LED lit up, all connected to a 9V power source.
