Thanks Ann! Appreciate the nice feedback, it motivates me to keep it up! Lots more trials in the works, just takes a little while as I like to capture updates over a long period of time so viewers can see things start to finish.

It could also be that the full spectrum and 3000k plants didnt need more leaves for the same energy production as the plant beyond the 5000k lamp. To truely know whats better the test should be longer, at least till the plants start to grow pepper. For me its hard to draw a conclusion because all three really look great.

True, if they'll be spending a longer portion of their life cycle under the light I'd imagine much bigger differences appearing. In my case I just want a cheap solution to get things an early indoor start, but ended the experiment when they got too large for the amount of light these bulbs were able to provide. Something to consider for a further trial!

Very interesting. Validates what I had been suspecting for so long. Thank you. Keep doing these experiments and helping us

another great test. The window plant didn't look as good as the ones under the lights to me. I'm hoping that my 5000k shop lights will continue to grow my plants until they are mature for eating. I live at altitude in the mountains, off grid where it is cold, and I grow in a cargo trailer, with no windows for now. My red bell peppers were tough to get going cause of the temps, and continue to struggle.

@@PuraVidaPhotography I also agree, the 5000k plant got warmed and this is a very big difference in final results. You've learned a bit on proper scientific experiment. It's easy to get wrong conclusion and we must take extra care to avoid such bias. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your time and information do you feel that a LED shop light will do well as the 5000 bulb did and dose the light have to be close to the seedlings. Thank you

@PuraVidaPhotography

Yeah for sure, I think a shop light is a great economical option! Generally the closer to the seedlings the better. Good luck!

Okay so I have some photography lights that are obviously LED you know they go to 5000 K I have those and it takes up a lot more room but then I bought a white full spectrum blue and red light where you can change it and all that. So are you saying that the photography light the will do just as good?

@PuraVidaPhotography

5 ай бұрын

Its probably a bit of an 'it depends.' What your growing, and how large those plants are, where they are in their life cycle, ect. All that could make a difference. But as far as starting new vegetable seedlings I'd be surprised if you saw much if any difference between the lights for getthing them started, all other things being equal.

Great demonstration 🖒 However what was the wattage that you used for each LED bulb? Thinking of using a LED bulb for germination and making plant clones.

@PuraVidaPhotography

Жыл бұрын

All the bulbs would be 8 watts, which is comparable to 60w for the old incandescent ones. You can and may want to find brighter options if you plan on keeping them past the seedling stage indoors.

How do you know how close to place the grow lights above your plants? My seeds have just broke ground and I'm wondering if i need to raise the lights or not. Thank you for your videos!

@PuraVidaPhotography

Жыл бұрын

That is a great question and one that's tricky to answer succinctly. But in light, ahem, of the budget setup I use and show in my video my answer would be: about as close as possible! If you have similar types of lights their strength is rather low compared to say what one might light a commercial greenhouse with. Therefore my rule of thumb is do keep my lights about an inch or so above my seedlings and adjust often as they grow! Hope this helps!

I too have struggled with rosemary! It's odd because I'm in the PNW and see big beautiful ones left to the elements in people's gardens but the ones I baby often struggle come winter time! Are you trying from seed or starts from the garden center? As I hear from seed can be an added challenge...

did you lt them under the lights 24/7 ?or did you turn it off for some hours ?

I think the bigger issue is the amount of light one of these gives. Technically Im sure your plant would be happy with anything however in this video I was focusing on seedlings as anything much bigger than that would start to struggle as it wouldn't get enough light.
