one of the best and most useful videos i've seen in a while I'm only halfway through but I know I will learn alot My grow light born vegetable plants are a bit leggy and i'm thinking of adding more light or bringing them closer to the light

Great video! One thing I need to point out though is that Lumens is a pretty inaccurate scale for measuring lamp brightness / efficiency when it comes to growing plants, since the measurement was created based on 'perceived brightness', ie how bright the human eye sees it However because our eyes see some parts of the spectrum better than others, this distorts our perception (even if the light is completely white)brFor plants, the value you want to be looking at is the PPF (Photosynthetic Photon Flux) This is simply put a measurement of the amount of photons (within the usable spectrum for plants) that a lamp emits per second It is muuuch more accurate than Lumens and lets you get a real grasp on the efficiency of the lamp and predict how many Watts you'll have to put in and how much growth you get out of itbrNow, I doubt that any lightbulb at Home Depot will have a PPF rating, and that the purpose of this video is to show budget solutions for hobbyists, but since it is a standard in the grow light industry to publish those ratings (or you can find creators on YouTube that buy lamps, measure them and publish their PPF(D) values), it shouldn't be that hard to find some for a reasonable price onlinebrAnyways, worth checking out Keep up the good content!

I don't understand light I've watched this video several times "I'm assuming you're eating your philodendrons" gets me EVERY time

You talk very patronizing and condescending Be more humble
Comment from : AlgaeEater09

I never liked a video and subscribed to a channel this quick Too bad I hadn't seen it before buying my lights Any recommendations on light distance / intensity for the plants ? I found very conflicting sources and I'm a little lost

I sure was slacking off past several months 😅i cant believe i only just found ya br First time viewer, ive been attracted to plants personally & professionally for a long time but i only just began 1 yr Ago raising my own potted house plants br I am hooked ! I easily and quickly filled my 2 bed apartment to the point of bustin at the seems 😅br I mean what, am i supposed to just walk past a gorgeous philodendron brazil or something with only a $1299 tag and go on like itll just grow on trees when i want it next🤔 anyway u r awesome and i have tons of questions 😅lol
Comment from : Corey wright

Wrong plans do not reflect green lightThe green pigments in leaves is chlorophyll which observes red and blue light from sunlightTherefore the light the leaves reflect is diminished in red and blue and appears green
Comment from : Peter Csigo

I lost my shit when you said you weren’t a great example of melanin😂 This is the first video of yours I’ve ever watched Seen it on my feed once before I wasn’t interested in house plants until recently I was forced to take care of a few plants that were dying(ironically) These plants had been gifted to the daughter of a family friend who past away Now I’m wanting to exchange plants with neighbors and office employees all over my city This video was great, and entertaining I’m so jealous of your ability to take such good care of so many
Comment from : Rize

Thank you for this video! I was just looking into lamps but came upon this and I hope it keeps the few tropical plants I have alive

Comment from : pamelalucia18

"im assuming you eat your philodendrons" you had me spitting my coffee there i love houseplants, sadly i do not have the space to grow a lot here in scotland but that indoor-greenhouse idea might just be what i was looking for i think over time i could build multiple of those and just keep my plants in there permanently would need to figure out which plants prefer this kind of environment thank you for the inspiration i shall now google my way through the next 3 months of planning my indoor greenhouses ^^

I'm 59 seconds in and I've just subscribed Your sense of humor is epic! haha! Okon to watch the rest of the video Edit- ok- watched the entire video now You are now my favorite plant person on the youtubes! I'm a first year gardener and have been watching a shit ton of gardening videos You are the most entertaining and informative person I've come across I'm clicking the notification bell for your channel and am about to go binge watch more of your videos You had me laughing through this whole thing! Thank you for the endorphins! And for the information I would love to have plants inside but my cat is an idiot He's actually very smart, but he will eat any and every plantso in that department, he's an idiot I know I could zip the cover closed, but Nigel would find a way inhe's a damn ninja! A neighbor gave me a Queen Emma Crinum Lilly, which I call my Murder Lilly because of how toxic she is Nigel would literally die if I tried to bring her in the house! He'd munch on her and have kidney failure Idiot Anyway, you're awesome and I'm on to watch more videos! If I had more money, I'd become a patron Sorry I'm poorhaha!

Comment from : Tcmunii

first of all LOVE your video, very informative and non-elitist which os sadly such fresh air in this community!brSecondly this might be a dumb question but how did you install your LEDs? I'm far from tech savvy hand have no idea how I'd to connect them to a power supply 😢
Comment from : Dana C

I learned so much during this for my cannabis plants! I am starting an inside grow, my Photoperiod's are just starting they're Flowering Season (September 26th for the light to go 12 hours on and 12 hours dark) and this is my medicine, from my brain surgery I had 2 years ago, butt yea this was very informative!😁 and you look really good with your hair down 😅
Comment from : Kota James

All wavelengths are used, some are just MORE used than the others So you can be more energy efficient But having all wavelengths is not bad in anyway, it's even a bit better

Growlights is when you are into growing things to sell or consume, your LED choice is good for just displaying plants and make them grow no matter the efficiency of the grow, but don't misslead people with false information
Comment from : Sur ron Zak

Lumens are for human view, ePAR is for what plants use
Comment from : Sur ron Zak

UVA and UVB forces cannabis plant to produce way more trichomes, that's why, you can use them on basilic or other terpène and essential oils (wich is the same) producing plants to increase oil production

Red and BLue technologie is dead since at least 5 years
Comment from : Sur ron Zak

"grow lights dont exist" brbrthats not true br many companies have done a lot of research into creating bulbs and diodes that benefit plants you can use regular bulbs, certian ones, but its not gonna be as good brYes there is an industry markup, but But it's not like just a mark of over regular bulbs or something There is a pretty distinct difference between qualities of grow light

How about overwintering citrus?
Comment from : Surchaufeur

Finally a plant influencer for me, the disenchanted, cheap, queer person! Love your sense of humour And for saying blurple lights are gross because ick I do get migraines and grow lights already give me headaches, let alone those damn blurple ones In my bathroom I use a full spectrum led bulb in the normal ceiling spot and all the plants in there love it And because it’s just an LED it costs nothing to run all day Thanks for a good video!

Comment from : Kadesh Hendricksen

I just subscribedsome foliage can be pretty, but I love fruit, vegetables and flowers and I grow some stuff hydroponically I do have a professional grow light that I've had several years but it is not one of the big name ones Not fond of purple light, but have to grow year-round for food, so I want to be sure these things have sufficient light If you do know of a white light you can recommend that will work for fruits and vegetables throughout the growing cycle please provide a link and I'll save it for next time I get a little ahead financially so I can get a second one I love your shelf set-up with the cover around it I might look into getting that instead of investing in a grow tent, at least temporarily, and I can just line it with some mylar Currently I have a huge festival tent set up in the living room It does reflect light back down to the plants but it's a real pain in the ass to get around since everytime I want to go to the front rooms of the house I have to duck down and sometimes hit my head on the frame

Hold up You're telling me I can sun stress my hoya with a uv light? I need elaboration on sun stressing hoyas without baking them I'm not saying I baked my krimson queen, but I baked my krimson queen

I hope to successfully grow the micro tomatoes indoors this winter Lettuce and other greens are easy enough but I have no transportation, on disability, very rural area, and in a camper, so if I want anything fresh I have to grow it I order sardines and other things to survive My indoor hydro gardens get overwhelming But I have to use them My first try, Tiny Tim tomatoesway too big So another fail And they aren`t blooming And it took nearly THREE YEARS to get real seeds of those thanks to sellers who lie I planted several of the various seeds outside to find out what they wereRomaCherry, etc I think I just received a variety pack of real ones The Tiny Tims are great for pots thoughjust not the little gardens I use

Comment from : alex underwood

thanks so much for your in-depth explanation, i got so much from this video - especially because i'm looking to go into flowering and fruiting plants and i was really unsure about why people don't keep those kind of plants in this community, y'know? but now i see it is mainly aesthetic (when it comes to using grow lights) and your light spectrum breakdown really opened my eyes to using more red light i'm excited to try maybe a combination of white and RB lights, thanks so much again 💞

I'm not sure if you will see this coment's, but I just saw the video and I loved Congratulation I hope if you can ansewr how are the plant today, in actualy🥰
Comment from : Kody ito

I don't even remember what I was looking for when I saw your video Subscribed for the thumbnail alone My loft has 3 windows on one wall and is otherwise like a cave I cannot wait to finish my reno so I can light this place up I thought I was doin' good finding a pink grow light at an estate sale for $1 until I put it next to my plants Not cute Maybe I'll use it on the back of the bottom shelf

❤ thanks for the detailed informationbrbrQuestion Hyper accumulators? Are their plants that hyper accumulate these minerals like copper so that we can phyto mine it and make compost tea?brbrIn fact is there a list of such plants that are widely available plants, not exotic brbrLike for my indoor garden I am actually doing a bed of mini clovers to feed my other nitrogen deficient garden plants

Comment from : Dee Scherer

This video was really relaxing and informativebrbrI was wondering though if LED in general is manageable for succulents? Like maybe they won't thrive but can they manage? I have an aloe responding well to my grow light, but my painted lady and mexican snow ball are struggling I can't put my succs outside without risking them being smashed by the neighborhood kids, we don't have a porch 😢
