A thousand THANK YOU for this video! You’re the only one I’ve found that actually shows the lamps, colours and intensity instead of just talking about them. You explain clearly and your reviews are very pertinent. Keep it up! 🙏❤️

It would be lovely to show us how you styled these lamps around your house to give us some examples, I’m not so good in decorating myself 😅 Also I would be interested in how long you have the lamps on everyday for different plants and locations :)

18 hours for locations with no other light, less in areas where there is some supplemental light or the plants aren't full sun! I will definitely add styling grow lights to my video idea list 😁

Your video is so clear and informative. And thank you for sourcing products that are available in Canada.

Amazing video! My son loves plants. You're the reason he's alive

I’ve been looking for this exact video topic - so glad I found you! ;-)

Finally!!! Someone just gives it to us straight out! Thank you so much!!!

This is everything I needed!! I inherited many plants from.my sister due to her moving out of of the country. She also passed on these horrific blue and red lights. 😠 Makes my livingroom look like a chemistry lab. They'll be great for Halloween though. 😂

This was the video on grow lights I wanted! Thank you!

Very informational video. I wish I had the budget to get some Soltech lights for my plants. For those looking for something less expensive, Sansi also has a full-spectrum bulb that's 3000 Kelvin. My bird of paradise survived the winter in a dark corner with it, and even pushed out a new leaf. I did have mirrors around the plant, though, to help amplify the light from the one bulb.

Miss your videos so much! Fell in love with your channel 🥰 So cool that your content is about what to do with my indoor jungle. Next level. Hope you're doing okay.

New subscriber here. Your explanation of the growth lights is excellent. Thanks for the video.

Thank you. This video helped a lot.

So glad you did this video Keep em coming!!!

This was such a great video! I wish I had seen this before I bought my (too blue) lights. Oh well, better late than never. Now I know what to get next time.

Thank you for researching this for us!! Love your channel.

I have 100+ plants in my office & I only use white daylight 5,000K bulbs in my ceiling fixtures, not "grow lights," and yeah the light is reduced some because of the height, but it's better than the other kind of light for me. I love it. I even have a 4 foot ceiling fixture with 4 tube daylight (not grow light) 5,000k in it from the hardware store, and wow, that is bright - sometimes too bright for working, but the plants love it!

Hay, I have my plants on a fixed window shelf, that gets a lot of shade from the tree, and I would like to put up a grow light for my plants for the winter. My shelf is directly by the fixed house radiator, and also I have candles and other ornaments on that shelf. My question is, will be okay to add an uv ir led grow light facing this shelf with radiator right next to it, wiht candles and other things on it ? Thank you in advance

Thanks for this video, I'm using grow bulbs in lamps as well. Do you have any recommendations for the 'non-discreet' kind? I currently have a GE Flowering & Fruits bulb in a lamp dedicated to my jasmine sambac and other plants in my bedroom but it's so bright it's annoying and I would love to replace with lighting that is that classic purple-y light and a little more relaxing, yet enough to keep the flowering and other plants happy. Any recommendations would be great! 😄

Thanks for the info on grow lights. Finally starting to make sense. Would love to see your lamp set ups. And plants growing under them. How much do they add to the power bill?

Our LED technology makes a light impact on the power bill! How much it will add for you depends on usage.

I have a GE in my living room & I like it. But I was looking at the Vita for my bedroom. What's your thoughts of the light points upwards towards the ceiling?

Miss your content 🥺 Hope all is well!

I'm totally new to the world of grow lights. I've read that full spectrum lights can have harmful UV radiation. Is that true? Also, can timers be purchased / attached separately to these lights?

I have been wanting more information on grow lights. I too want warm lighting so this has been very helpful! 🙏🏼 How many hours should a grow light be on? I would like to use them on darker areas of the house. Thanks for the awesome videos! 🥰

Can i turn the grow light on during the night time?

So I guess your comment about "you can't put a growbulb into a ceiling fixture, the rays won't reach the plants" kinda assuages my fear of my growbulbs giving me skin cancer or something just from being inside my house with the lamps on? That's the biggest concern stopping me from buying a ton of these.

These lights don't put out UV rays (or at least not much) i believe. There are lights that specifically put out UV rays... I think those are much more expensive too.

The fiet grow light bars in your Ikea greenhouse seems to be two different kinds? One seems to have a pink hue the other is more white. Are they different lights? I like more white.

I scored two free Detolf via Trash Nothing here in New England, and am trying to plan ahead for 13% humidity season this winter. They'll need to be away from our sunniest room for aesthic reasons, so as a Detolf owner and warm grow light aficionado, can you advise? Thank you.

They aren't designed for 'wet' locations so it would depend how much humidity you planned to supplement! 😁 The colour tone would certainly be awesome If you were just supplementing humidity with water trays it would probably work fine, but I'd worry if you had a humidifier going in it

The lights are sealed during manufacturing, they can handle any amount of humidity!

No Soltech? ( I just saw GE, Vita andFeit)

New subscriber here, love your channel. ❤️ Thank you for sharing about the Vita light! I’m going to try one. I also have the small ikea fabrikor full of African violets using full spectrum led light strips. I can’t seem to get them to rebloom even though they look healthy. After hearing you talk about needing a different grow light for flowering I’m thinking I need to add red or blue light on them too? Any suggestions on what I could get?

@PlanteriorDecorator

3 жыл бұрын

Great question!! While red light is necessary for AVs to bloom, blue light is necessary for photosynthesis so I'd think a full spectrum growlight would be sufficient as it has both... you could try a flowering spectrum bulb and see if it helps! I don't have any AVs so I'm definitely not a pro on their care 😬

sadly the soltech is almost double the price when im checking now lol 60$ CAD GE vs 118$ SOltech

There is a way to calculate the costs to run per bulb based on wattage and local electricity costs I believe!

Also this information it’s so wrong, in the page of GE they give you the instructions, you shouldn’t put those lights that near. They are designed to be from 2 feet and up of distance, depending on how big it’s your plant.

@PlanteriorDecorator

2 жыл бұрын

I think you may have misread the instructions on GE. For low-light plants, GE recommends you place the PAR38 a maximum of 24 inches above the plant. For high-light plants they recommend 18 inches above the plant. It's even closer for the BR30 (6-9 inches). I find that playing around with placement for different plants can be helpful. Testing out closer vs. further depending on the plant and the light conditions of the room - for example you can probably get away with the supplementary light being further away if you already have some sunlight in your location. Hope that helps! 🌿💡

If you're talking about the Soltech lights, I purchased the light myself and the code is only for a discount. I do not make commision from Soltech if someone uses the code. I do make commision if products are purchased through Amazon, but the discount code only works if you purchase straight from their website. Honestly, Soltech has a very warm tone and I just really like the way it looks in my home. I personally prefer 3000K or warmer whenever possible.

U look high lol
