Use full-spectrum LED grow lights rated for three thousand to four thousand Kelvin, positioned six to twelve inches above herb leaves within your kitchen alcove. These lights deliver between two hundred to four hundred PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density), ideal for healthy herb growth. Set timers for twelve to sixteen hours daily to replicate natural sunlight cycles. Incorporate shelving that allows light to cascade from top to bottom, such as wire or open shelves. Combined with proper watering trays and airflow from a silent fan, this setup ensures flourishing indoor herbs like basil and mint.
