Hello,
you really have a green thumb. That's impressive. I had to look up Bok Choy and that's one thing that I'll never grow. And the same applies to Nappa Cabbage as it was just food for earwigs and they didn't leave anything for me last year.

Actually, there aren't any UV LEDs. Not even NUV - Near Ultra Violet (400 nm). I was asking because I believe for growing seedlings UV is helpful as the plants don't get badly sunscalded when they finally go out. That's why I still use fluors despite their much lower efficiency. It's visible that Viparspectra works well though. Do you shade the seedlings when you transplant them in your garden?
And aphids? Even my home is infested with them. Strangely enough, they don't like my tomatoes.
