What about succulents? Requiring more light than heat to maintain their great coloring so they don't etiolate?

i have several xenon lights for automotive use, but I'm highly contemplating putting them to use U think this is a good idea or perhaps it's too much? We're talking 12VDC and each pair of bulbs with ballast draw about 5amps if i increase the voltage and keep the current low by keeping them at a good temperature I'd wager we're taking 4500k color and easily 2000 lumens Lights cost be nothing and it beats the hell outta this terrible halogen setup I'm working with presently They're terrible so much waisted energy , i could easily cook dinner from the heat wasted

I need advice on the lumens and lux in different led bulbs for use on a lemon tree

I just bought my first grow light (led) a few days ago It 100 helped my seeds become stronger and less leggy It’s a must for any serious gardener

Great video--explained a lot I might be wrong, but in your calculator you are asking for cents, but you really mean dollars, and because of this the calculations are off by a factor of 100 For example, in my area, a kWh is 33c ($033) If I enter in 33, as prompted by the calculator, it tells me that the yearly running cost of a 250w HPS is $36,135 Or is it just that running a single light bulb for a year can cost the price of an affordable car?

hi do u have a video on grow light for inddor plants? well, most of the growlights are actually for growing vegetables and flowers But, how about for regular houseplants with no flower? do u think it's worth it investing on expensive full spectrum GL? thank you for your reply

Hello! I'm trying to figure out a good lighting system for my indoor plants My plants are in my classroom on shelves and we have zero windows I can leave lights on when I'm there (7am-3pm or 7am-6pm) and take them home during breaks But I'm not sure what sort of light system will help my plants thrive Mostly succulents and low effort plants like spider plants, snake plants, etc Thanks for your help in advance!

Hello Epic Gardening, I really appreciate seeing both you and the text and I appreciate the subject, I am successfully growing orchids and succulents under HO t5 fluorescent tubes and LEDs I am still looking for more information on this subject Thanks for sharing this interesting video
Comment from : Andre Dumas

No possible way a 190 watt led will put out as much light as a 400 watt MH or HPS in fact a 315 watt CMH will blow the LED out of the water Your little LED is only going to cover a tiny little footprint like you might be able to veg in a 2x2 tent, with a 315 watt CMH I can veg in a 4x4 tent if I use a parabolic or a bat wing with a diffuser and I can bud with a 400 watt HPS thats four times the footprint so I fail to see LEDs being more economical unless you grow in a shoeboxbrI really have nothing against LEDs but you will never convince me that you can replace 400watts of hid with 190 or even 290 watts of LEDs

i have a learning disability, and this stuff is really rocking me is there a simpler and shorter video?
Comment from : Jennifer L R

Had this doubt and didn't really know what video to put in so:brbrWhen it comes to light diffusion, is it good or reduces the effect on our plants?brI've been reading lots of articles saying it's beneficial but at the same time, as a filmmaker, by difusing the light you're reducing its intensity sobrI just wanna know if I have to sacrifice mood in my room by taking diffusion off of my lights, basically

Would an UVB light 50 work?

Do do you really respond to every comment?
Comment from : A Person

Can I grow under normal led light Waiting for your answer Thank you
Comment from : Saikat Agarwalla

Kevin do you have any formal gardening background (eg horticulture, botany, etc)? You seem to know your stuff really well, and I'm just wondering whether that's purely information you've acquired through experience & self-learning
Comment from : Christopher Hastings

I bout a 5500 lumen led shop light from Walmart for $32 a few months ago My plants love it, so I'm gonna take it as a win haha
Comment from : OheyChay

What should be the distance between the florescent tube tight and the plant???brPlants like sansevierias, syngonium and ZZ???
Comment from : Priyanka Peter

I have a reason that wasn’t on the list! I want to put an ornamental plant in a corner that doesn’t get enough natural window light I just want something that looks good

Any thoughts on mounting a 55” plasma tv face down over a grow?
Comment from : Chris Knecht

I needed an explanation in benglish/b I really didn't understand :-( an you just tell me what to buy and what It's for?
Comment from : Ness E

The thing you are referring to as "Intensity" is more commonly referred to as Lumens The higher the lumens, the more intense the light It's the unit of measurement for the brightness of a light
Comment from : Kadan_Gustafson

Please, how close would you place a 12000 lumen, 4 ft, T8 LED tube fixture with four Greentek 18W clear LED tubes above vegetable seedlings? I know you said lumens are not best measurement of intensity Here is link to the LED kit so you can see the unit if needed - their example photo looks pretty far away to me, farther than the 7-8" the assembly sheet recommends: parkseedcom/juniper-bonsai-in-cream-ceramic-container/p/27020/
Comment from : Shaken Grain

Is there any book related to growlight Design
Comment from : Vitapu Gnanasagar

I bought me a 75 watt LED purple light From Wal-Mart and it claims to give the correct color spectrum light for vegitation stage and flowering stage I started of with 3 cfl but ended making Up the switch Has anyone or anybody Know if the claims are true Compared to the professional LED lights
Comment from : Etienne Rojas

You mentioned moving lights away and getting less light to the plants enwikipediaorg/wiki/Scheimpflug_principle could be useful when setting up

Comment from : randall anthony

If you're asked 'What is you kwh in cents?' Aren't you supposed to enter '5'? Instead of '005' if it's 5 cents They already said 'in cents'

Noice
Comment from : Sarina Juarez

You are very confusing Wattage is used to calculate electricity usage/cost Light intensity is measured in lumens Also most bulbs will describe their 'colour' in kelvin units
Comment from : Cassie Oz

my biggest upgrade have been grow lights the mars hydro LEDs, they are easy to use plug and play and offer the best spectrum for both cannabis growing and flowering at the switch of a button, as well as built in cooling In my experience they dramatically increase speed of growth and quality due to their cannabis specific light spectrum and added UV in flowering The mars hydro 300w panels are currently on sale here amznto/2MDO6et for less than 100$ per unit Its easy to get things started, luckily everything is available online
Comment from : TheReal MadMax

thank you so much! this is all new please keep them coming l wold like to know what is in your book
Comment from : Felice Miller

Is it appropriate to utilize grow lights for houseplants that I want to place in corners that essentially have no light source in my home?
Comment from : beginning2beautify

Is 8900 Lumens @ 6500K good enough to grow out lettuce and kale when spread out over 4 to 6 square feet? brbrI just bought some GE 4' long T8 LED bulbs that are rated to 2300 Lumens each Got a 10pk at Lowe's for $74 plus tax brbrI will be putting them on a pulley system and will be keeping the light just off of the plants as they grow

Green is now considered very useful and even important to plants with multilevels of leaves Unusefulness of green is now considered old myth
Comment from : Anousheh Salahshour

thank you!
Comment from : name lastname

one LED grow light on Amazon said that it's bulb only had about 500 hours of life that's 50 days of ten hour growing days Also, you have to buy the replacement bulbs from their web site, and I was looking at the sites that replaced the bulbs, and none of them wanted to give the prices of the replacement bulbs It might be cheaper, like inkjet printers, to just buy the whole lighting system again at $20 than to buy the replacement bulbs
Comment from : Gristle Von Raben

Hi there! I have a 13w 6700k lamp, how close to the lamp does the plant need to be? What’s too close, what’s too far??
Comment from : Cassie Le

Nice
Comment from : Solar and Wind as a Hobby

Another awesome video! Any advice on a good basic grow light to hang above my window plants for the winter? Its ferns, anthuriums, pothos and succulents? I was thinking a florescent tube just to add some extra light without overdoing it for these
Comment from : illutionary

Great info, as always Big Up to the Kevin!
Comment from : Victor Siegel

Lumens is how to quantify Wattage is power So a 450w hid can produce the same amount of light as a 150w led
Comment from : Joseph Ira

Nice video, I like the CMH myself Plants liked it over the LED or the 400 metal halide
Comment from : Frank Silvia

Very nice video My goal is to propagate my herbs all winter in Michigan & start my flowers from seeds so they’re ready to be planted after the last frost Do you have a LED light you recommend? Just spent the last 6 hours researching and my head is swimming with facts but no precise decision Also want to keep my mandevilla vines still alive inside all winter Thank you for your help!
Comment from : Tammy Yosifovski

Can you tell me if you can use any led because i work making sign and can get them almost cost would really help thanks
Comment from : Liam Stancombe

kevin hi what is the minimum wattage equivelent for an indoor houseplant, ie: a lemontree start? i bought a 24watt led grow bulb on Amazon for supplimental lighting Did I waste my money buying this? which is better, a shop light at 4,000Kelvin or a full spectrum grid light to grow indoors until summer? I live in zone 5b so it won't be warmuntil may
