I've got only two small south-facing windows, and half the daylight is blocked by trees. The east-facing windows don't provide enough light for my low-light plants, so I've taken off my blinds to let as much light in as possible. However, I came home to my place looking like a rave is happening inside! Am I overthinking how this looks to my neighbors? I've tried using plant curtains, but it's just not cutting it. Should I just embrace it or look for other solutions? Any advice?

For a more subtle approach, I recommend full spectrum grow lights. They’re easier on the eyes and don’t tint your plants' color. They're still bright but look more natural, which might keep nosy neighbors guessing!
I totally get the struggle! I cover my windows with plants instead of using curtains, so they benefit from the light. Plus, I run my LED grow lights 24/7. They're super cheap to operate and give my house a cool purple and red glow at night. I think it gives off a nice vibe, even if it looks a bit like a club!
Honestly, I don’t care what my neighbors think. Who really cares about the lawn or window views? Adopting that mindset was freeing for me! Just enjoy your plants and don’t stress about how it looks from the outside.
Exactly! I think I need to just let go and enjoy my plants more.
That's a great idea! I might try that out instead.
