There’s a lot more to photosynthesis, but for our conversation about LEDs, this is a perfect summary.

How do I know if my plants are getting too much light?
If your plant is not getting enough light, the most common sign is the yellowing and dropping of leaves, stunted leaf growth, elongated stems, and a dull-green color. If your plant is getting too much light, then its leaves will have singed tips, burned patches, or will be falling off (yikes!).Tir 8, 1396 AP

How many watts do I need to grow tomatoes?

Do tomatoes ripen in the dark or light?
Tomatoes do not require light to ripen and in fact, fruit exposed to direct sunlight will heat to levels that inhibit pigment synthesis. Direct sun can also lead to sunscald of fruit. Do not remove leaves in an effort to ripen fruit.Shahrivar 1, 1391 AP
What does Sunscald look like on tomatoes?
On tomatoes, sunscald will appear as a yellow or white-spotted area on the side or upper part of the fruit that has been directly exposed to the sun. As the fruit ripens, the affected area may become blistered before it finally turns thin, wrinkly, and paper-like in appearance.Tir 22, 1399 AP
