Definitely the best video on grow lights
Thank youuu
oh no... there is much better info available
Right, that's it. All my questions were answered here, no need for me to look anywhere else. Thank you for this thorough presentation.
Perfect!!
I dig this guy's whole vibe, it's giving informative and friendly 👏
I appreciate that!
This is seriously the most thorough and practical video yet. THANK YOU!! Excellent video!
Glad it was helpful! Check out some of my other videos!
Probably the most helpful video on plant lighting I've seen. Everyone else out there is testing all these crazy LED combinations. Devin makes it easy and covers a lot of ground all at once. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! That means a lot
What a nice video! I've been doing research about grow lights and your video literally has everything. Thank you so much for the information
Love hearing that! That was my goal!
This channel has been the most helpful to me out of all the ones I've viewed. I'm a beginning house plant gardener and am grateful for this video!
I hope you have a chance to comment on other helpful videos you watch so I can continue to make pertinent planning for future ones!
Clicked on the video to see Freddie from Scooby-Doo talk about grow lights.
Stayed for the information! 😁
No matter how much I think I know, it's always great to relearn what you have learned, and there were a few things I had wrong.
Thank You For Your Video Sir!
Hahaha I love that, great reference! I’m glad you enjoyed the video
@@plantvibrations
Yo Most Welcome Sir! Sorry I thought I subscribed!
Now I Am Sir!
Iowa 😁
Love the floor lamp idea!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for this information! I converted over to Soltech light systems throughout my house and have had a lot of success with them. They sell standalone hanging lights as well as ceiling mount track systems. Pricey but high quality and excellent lights.
Ooooh I will look into them! Thank you for sharing your experience!!
Great video! I just got a grow light so this video definitely helps
Glad I could help!
Devin, perfect timing. I've been looking at grow lights but really had no idea what to be looking for except to assume that the full spectrum was probably the best choice. Your interior design tips and tricks to upscale the look of grow lights was excellent too!
I'm quite excited about my latest acquisition, which is a Moondrop, a dwarf version of the shefflera. The small, white variegation against the dark green leaves with the occasional white leaf is a striking contrast. It grows to about 3', which is perfect for my apartment living.
Can't thank you enough for your videos. You make them very interesting and concise with no rambling. Perfect. 😊
BTW, the item you held up and didn't know the name of is called a lampshade. 😂
Thank you so much for being such a great member of the community :) I’m glad these tips are resonating with you!
Amazing! Thank you. Very timely.
Be well 🕊
Thank you! You too!
Thanks for all the great information.
You bet!
Wow! I love your plant collection. My neighbors think I live in a plant store. I could honestly live in a jungle. I love having indoor plants and have over a hundred. My husband told me I need to cut back a little because I'm encroaching on his space. NOT going to happen. Anyway, your video provided many great tips. Thanks a million for this information.
I love living in a jungle here! My wife also has to restrain me hah
Fantastic video! This was very informative and helpful. I think you can take the metal covers from those clamp lights you don’t like and spray paint them. Then you can put them back on and have focused light but lose the industrial look and energy you didn’t like. Thank you for all these tips. Going to help my journey a lot
I like the spray paint idea!
@@plantvibrations awesome would love to see em if you ever do it!
Love that your video didn’t drag on. You were very thorough and so informative! Subscribed and look forward to looking at your videos.😍👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Love the idea of the DIY grow cart❤
It’s so fun! We keep our coffee maker on top and plants underneath!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge my friend. Great video.
My pleasure!
Good to see all options! ,love your new planting wall👍Chau,,👋
💚🌱🌵☘️💚
Thank you kindly

:)
So much info thank you so much!
Happy you enjoyed!
Great information! Thanks for sharing.
Hope it was helpful!!
really like the suggestion about using the wasted space under a table for a grow light
Yeahhh it used to be a dead zone for me
Excellent presentation, thank you.
You're very welcome!
Excellent video. Thank you Sir.
Very welcome
Thanks for the video! I just moved apartments and my new place gets about half the sunlight my old place got. This really helps!

Hey thanks!
A lot of really good information
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing! I was looking for grow light options, and clicked your video, by far the best and clearest on point very explanatory video! Love it thanks! I’m looking for indoor grow light for my pink princess, a few succulents and a variegated Monstera adansonii which hasn’t put any white since I purchased it 😒.
Hi Shirley! I love hearing that! may I ask what prompted you to watch mine versus some of the others out there?
@@plantvibrations for me the title “Indoor light” was the catch. As soon as I started watching your video you just drew me in! Your apartment and plant set up is relaxing to watch! I love the Ambient 🥰💯.
Which lighting do you recommend to help promote more white leaf on my Variegated andasonii monstera and also good for my Pink princess plant as well?
great video!!!
Thank you!!
Thank you so much. I learned a lot. I just got a sansi 4-gooseneck lights and was wondering how to use it.
Glad I could help!
im a grower too and love indoor is what i luv i use optic led grow lights they are some of the best great channel here hope i can get to your level one day cheers family
Ooooh I need to look into the optic led!
@@plantvibrations yeah my friend the link to optic in my video description check me out my brother luv your channel
Thank you for this video! I just got a monstera and was wondering if it would be okay under a grow light in an IKEA floor lamp I wanted to put it by. Lo-and-behold, you show a monstera under exactly the same lamp I was planning to put it under! Answered all my questions haha. Used your affiliate link for the smart bulb, I'm excited!
Gotta admit, our monzi looooves it under that lamp! Yours will too
Thanks
No problem
Once again you certainly don't disappoint. Very comprehensive and informative video. However, what no Ikea cabinet? Seems that is a prerequisite for all those folks doing plant videos. PS I don't have one either.
Hahah as much as I love IKEA this cabinets don’t cut the mustard in terms of beauty lol!
Some of the t5 and t8 bars can be stuck on using double sided adhesive pads that the product comes with. Heavy duty 2x sided mounting tape can be also be used on the plastic parts. Really useful if you cannot or should not drill on the piece of furniture you’re your using. I’ve also heard of people attaching Velcro strips
Awesome tips!
Thank you for the beneficial video, do you recommend specific watt ?
Leds measure light intensity with lumens rather than watts, but a 200 watt equivalent is about rigjt
Very articulate! Loved it. Is it recommended to turn it on all night long instead?
No, you want to allow the plants to have darkness at night, that’s essentially for them to use the energy they absorbed during the day
I was JUST getting overwhelmed trying to figure out which grow lights i should get for my indoor plants. Thank you for your friendly information at the prefect time.
I do have a question though, what's the minimum hours to use grow lights a day to be able to still achieve new growth?
I wouldn’t do less than 8 hours!
Thank you for the info I have a three shelf gro cart had it since the 1990s loli bought new bulbs 5 years ago I think they are LED thanks
Oooh cool! I love the grow carts
Choosing a style light is pretty hard. There are too many options. I'm looking for something to be used on the top of my bookshelf. Its pretty dark up there but I'd love to have a row of plants. I'm not sure what to do. Maybe mount a strip light to the ceiling or the back wall behind the plants? Or get clip ons for each individual plant? Then there's the issue of needing a long cord since its all the way on the top shelf 😂 itm overwhelmed.
I have plants on top of my bookshelf and I use the architecture lights I showed. They’re easy to clamp on and rotate able
❤️👍🏾👍🏾😀☀️THANK YOU
You are so welcome
Pretty thorough. I have a few questions though.
I'm mainly focused more on vegetables. One of the grow lights I bought was a hanging red/blue light.
I was thinking 12 hours of the red, with 2 hours at the beginning being with blue. What are your thoughts on using the red/blue led for vegetables?
Hey Caleb, thanks for your questions. I don’t personally have a ton of experience growing veg under grow lights.
@@plantvibrations Thank you for your quick response.
I use the large command strips to mount strip lights..no drilling..
How do you like the strip lights? ive not used them before
@@plantvibrations I meant, the long bar lights that you featured in your video can be mounted using command strips directly to the underside of your shelves. I use two 20 pound rated Velcro command strips on each end of the light bar. It makes for easy replacement and allows more space between shelves.
Would love to have Mothers grow lights, but I just get the full spectrum stand & spider lookin lights!!!
Nice! Those are great. The mother light has been essential for my succulents
Thanks for the video! Where in pa are you? I’m in York
Chester county!
@@plantvibrations sweet. Thanks for the videos, I’m learning a lot, I’m in love with plants!
I just bought an LED grow light, so this is very Timely.
Sweeeeet
Think I saw a Clivia behind your ficus teneke. If so, do you know how to force it to bloom?
Yes it is! When it blooms again I’ll film a video about caring for them
Hi, thanks for the video. Did I understand right that a normal LED bulb (not a grow light LED) is better than nothing? Thanks
Yes absolutely
Hey I live in a basement apartment w no windows. I have Anthurium Clarinervium,trandescantia nanouk, peace lily, zz, monstera adasonni,and philodendron white knight. What would my most efficient light setup be for these. Right now I got two ge lights and some Amazon clip on ones but I have no idea if it’s too much or too little. They are all on one table.
I would get a couple of the Haus Bright Lights, they’re reasonably priced and very effective. And optionality to change color is great
Can i have the info of the first clamp that clamped the smart bulb onto the window
Check the description for a link to my Amazon page. To find it there!
I have to hang all my plants from the ceiling because of my pets. Any lighting suggestion for that? Would like to find DECENT looking ceiling grow lights. P.S. I have 10 hanging plants and one room where they need to be all winter. Low light. Thanks for any suggestions!
Ohhh hmm that’s a good challenge. Well I forsure would recommend the smart bulbs I show in the video for their ability to change tones from cool to hot. Regarding an actual apparatus, I’ll have to think on that
I’m trying to grow rosemary please give me suggestions what kind of light should I use

Recommend lights for when I bring my pineapple plants inside for the winter here in FL?
The haus bright grow light would be great, check my description
@@plantvibrations Thanks!
LED do in fact get hot but are almost always built into a heat dissipation system to compensate for that. hell my LED grow light literally has heat sinks and 2 good sized fans and you can feel the hot air coming out of the air out vents. LED actually generate a lot of heat depending on how much light they are pushing out. my little flashlight that its 1,200 lumens will melt its lens and give 2nd degree burns if left on max turbo for too long hence why it has built in feature to force it down to lower settings after a set time.
👍
Distance of lights depend on the plants used.If i put my sansi 12 inches from my pothos they would bleach but my rubber tree would be ok.
Definitely
I use sunny lookalike lights
👍
sub'd & Lik'd easy decision. thank you
thank you :)
I grow a lot of different plants and trees indoors. I’ve found no difference in growth potential with LEDs whether they’re $15 or $300. Compared wattage 100 to 300.
👍👍
Link to the 15 please!
I need some serious help. I was just gifted a monstera and I need a floor lamp set up like how you have, and I am having trouble.
I know I want a floor lamp and a warmer toned grow light LED. Can someone tell me what to look for? It's kinda confusing! 😅
Here is a good starting point amzn.to/3KKjwha
What part of Eastern PA?
I'm in Allentown
west chester!
Cool I'm close to just started in door plants as well
led's will not burn foliage, nor will normally powered fluorescents unless left in contact with foliage for days and fluorescents should be closer than 3 inches.. btw the word "grow" when added to "lights" generally increases price more than efficiency.
thanks!
I guess you don't need fans to prevent mold? Microgreen growers need them, but it may just be exclusive to them.
You shouldn’t need one to prevent mold bc indoor plants shouldn’t stay moist enough to encourage mold. But fans are great for circulation which plants appreciate
Great video.
And sorry but I'm going to be that guy...
You burn more readily at elevation because there is less atmosphere to absorb UV, not because you are closer to the sun.
Keep up the good work!
But why is there less atmosphere?
@@plantvibrations The first reason is gravity. Earth's gravity pulls air as close to the surface as possible. The second reason is density. As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases-the air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level.
I live in Colorado at about a mile of elevation above sea level. Here, our solar panels produce nearly 20% more energy than a similar solar panel at sea level!
hi should i turn off my light at night?? i have indoor plants
Yes you should
@@plantvibrations so it will be complete darkness though、and i have succulent
How close to begonias
6-8” is great
More powerful mountain sun is due to the light passing through less of the atmosphere, not being closer to the sun.
Thanks
Wait what about succulents!? They say that
Fluorescent Lights are best but they are not
I use the Mother led bar
They’re called lamp shades.
👍
I’m so confuse
About what
Omg Is that your house or greenhouse?😂😂
Heheh
How rude they couldn’t wait 5 mins to do there dishes while your doing a video smh 😂
Lol
These LED lights shown here are some of the most inefficient options available. Over priced too.
👍
the bit about being closer to the sun in the mountains as an explanation for higher intensity light is a bit cringeworthy..
Why?
I think cringeworthy is too strong of a word but I don't think it's scientifically correct. 2000 feet is an incredibly small increase in closeness relative to the sun.
stop scamming yourself and just buy cheap LED bulbs and remove the light diffuser you will love it :)
3000k is good balance don't even need lower or higher kelvin for house plants and the 3000k looks nice to the eyes
Very interesting! I’ll look into it, thanks for sharing :)
LED, Light Emitting Diodes, good for plants, BAD FOR HUMANS. Do some research.
👍
Spectacular video. I appreciate your enthusiasm and excitement when breaking this new (grow light) endeavor down for me. I’m impressed with all the beautiful plants you have 👏
This is hands down, the most informative video that is simple to understand. You not only thoroughly 🎉explained the benefits of using grow lights, you shared the best lights you recommend to use from your
Personal experience.
Thank you!! I’m glad you found the video helpful, makes me very happy to hear :)
Good video, one correction though,in the mountains the difference is in air density not closeness to the Sun, do not be silly, check your ideas first.
I wonder why the air density is less with higher elevation
I wonder why the air density is less with higher elevation…
@@plantvibrations l bet you graduated from All American Highschool, ( with awesome looking diploma ).
gravity is weaker farther away from earth, higher up less air pushing down, you know so in fact.....(closer to the sun) nm
I'm offended that Minnesota did not have fancy awesome diplomas someone's getting a letter in super fancy awesome glitter pen ink over this topic.
