k thanks thing i need to get one more 24" grow light from walmart and thanks hope it goes good for u this year and you should make a updated vidoe. if mine turns out i might make one and upload it.
i got the same thing and am trying to grow hobs peppers how many light u got i got one 24" grow from walmart should i get one more light and i got a heat pad cuzs i no the hobs love heat
cfls' work great too, i found some as big as 55 watt (250 watt incandescent equivalent) 2700K spectrum, that fit a standard socket. they are about 13 dollars. ive had success with them, the proof is on my channel
I've done this before. This does not provide enough light. The plants will most likely become leggy and fall over. Be sure to start that you put the seeds you planted about 3 inches from the lights. Then raise the light a little after the first true leaves appear on the plant. Good luck.
I have been wanting to grow greens inside and I was just thinking this would be great for growing wheat grass (for juicing) or any greens indoors and in order to CAT proof it I could just use some screen and attach it to the side poles -- thanks for the idea you have inspired me !!!!!! (now I just hope my great dane doesn't whomp it with his tail!!)
I wish I saw this video last year.. I could have saved some money. Oh well. thanks for doing this video. I was thinking about adding another grow light but wasn't sure where to put it! You're shelving system will work perfect for me! I can put my current growlight system on the top part and have the 2nd shelf for the 2nd grow light. :-) thank you!
@gardenvespers777 I added 2 more grow lights last year because I wanted to use a full sized flat to
start 70 seeds. It worked out perfect. Next month I will start this years pepper seedlings. This shelf is great, you can easily move the top shelf up or down as your seedlings grow. I start it out right on top of the seeds then just inch it up as the seedlings grow.
@andrewbobbin Weed is a ... well ... guess what, it's a WEED. It grows with a stupid TL-light. I grow it with nothing in summer and TL-lights in winter. Big harvest, nice taste. Where I live it is not illegal.
Nice Job. Do you think this system would be enough light for potted herb garden? Like two or three pots with with 2-3 herbs in each pot. Any idea?? Thanks.
@ilvblues It seems to work well for starting seeds, not sure about an herb garden. I would just put them in the window. You could certainly start the herbs with this.
i know they will be more $ but way less then LED which i bought mostly because of the claims they made in lower watts, spectrum & temp contribution. i started wiith two 300 watt panels and by 40 days lost 1/4 of the leds in both. but that got me looking for alternatives. i learned about INDAGRO from a grower who'd been using them. watch the youtube video then visit the website. you can also get ALOT more general indcution info from ELSMFG.COM under the educational resources tabs.
Good idea on the stands. FYI we did our last two grows using induction grow lights. The 100 watt fixtures have been amazing. The plants are doing amazing for a fraction of the power. Try one and you'll see for yourself. ck them out on inda-gro website and look at the user submitted photos. We use indagro as our primary grow lights now with 4 of the 100 watt and 2 of the of 400 watt. No heat and from germ to bud with very decent yields
@annahasier I don't understand why more people haven't heard of induction lamps they are sooo much better for the plant then the low wattage led crap and the shop lights that I see people trying to grow with. My babies love them and the yields goot becaust the light gets like 3 ft inside the top leaves.
@bvccooper Well, I'm new at using grow lights. I just went to Lowe's and asked them for inexpensive grow lights. First I went to a "head shop" and the ones they had were in the $700 range. I just want to get a jump on the spring growing season for my peppers. Do you have any more info on the induction lamps?
I bought a grow light, and the plants seemed so small and weak. What could be wrong? He seems to be putting only a grow light. Or it was that I tried hidroponics and grow light at the same time and it was too much ?
You could have got more than 8 TIMES the light for the same price if you had purchased the following:
First, what you need is two 4 foot shop lights that hold 2 bulbs each (10 bux each), a mix of 2 warm white 3,000 TO 3,500 K and two cool to full specturm 5,000k to 6,500 k bulbs, all bulbs should be 40 watt. (total cost 12 bux)
The way flourescent lights work is the longer the bulb, the more light per watt of energy. (two 2' bulbs don't give off as much light as one 4' bulb.)
I hope you know that the bulb you got isn't meant for growing, it's for plants and aquariums meaning you can use it to light up your plants and it makes them look good, and or to light up your aquarium, it is not good for growing. It is far too weak...You need a Cool White and a Warm White fluorescent bulb to vegetate.

It is far too weak...You need a Cool White and a Warm White fluorescent bulb to vegetate.
For a little more clarification on reppins statement. The colour temperature is important. Your light looks a little 'warm' or 'soft' white, contains more red spectrum light, 2700k which is good for flowering. For solid greenery you want a 'cool' white in the range of 5000k to 6700k which is a closer aproximation of sunlight. For starting seeds, you probably cant go wrong with a couple daylight CFLs, more is better it seems as well.
As was stated the light needs to be much closer to the seedlings. I would mount it about 1-2" above the seeds personally but I think you already know that. ;-)
Better for plants on a budget would be Daylight F20 GE which are cheaper, higher lumens and 6500k. If you want to spend a little more the T5 are actually the best way to go for greater output and power consumption efficiency.
Light should be hanging on two chains and hooks, it s too far above, causes stretching of seedlings. You can lower/raise the light on the chains as seedlings grow. Keep light as close as you can to seedlings, 1 inch, doesn t burn them, except reddish tubes I believe.
@menkeechang I ended up adding another light fixture and moving the shelves closer. The pepper plants I started here turned out well. Once I planted them outside they grew like crazy and produced a lot of wonderful peppers.
Really good idea. I didn't know it could be that inexpensive. I thought the lights were much, much more expensive. Right now I have all my plant starts in a spare bedroom in front of double windows until I can get them into the garden.
Do you have to get one warm, one cool?
