Thanks chair, thanks old guy with beard that knows stuff!
Thanks for the info. I used to work for a printing company and was familiar with K measure of lights. So when we opened our pottery/woodworking shop I looked for the highest K I could get and it sounds like that turned out to be a good choice for our garden as well. We put our garden in our shop with the idea of cleaning dust from the air and providing food at the same time.
Leafy greens are especially forgiving when it comes to lighting! Thanks For Watching! T
Very informative video. Just subscribed.
Awesome video! Thanks!
I've used 100w replacement 17w LED bulbs with great success. They can put out up to 1500 lumens and come in a variety of color temps like 2700k to 6500k. I cut the protective dome off to allow for more and less diffused light to come thru. Always cheap and available at any hardware store, they will last thousands of hours longer than any fluorescent.
I have searched high and low for 6500K LED bulbs. The highest I can find is 500K, which does grow my seedlings but I would like to try the 6500K.
Seems right. Thnx

Good uploading sir☺️My indoor small garden have 4 random shop lights 🤔
KEWL!!!!!
I have 2 questions: 1. What is the minimum light temp and minimum brightness that is required? 2. Do plants vary in these requirements such as Tomatoes vs lettuce? I am growing tomatoes and green beans.
Dave Hutchinson sorry for the delay, I missed your question! Anyway, every plant has different light needs. Lettuce is on the low end of light requirement, Tomatoes are on the higher end AND these two specific plants even need different color light! Lettuce is very forgiving with its needs. If lettuce does not have enough light it will get spindly but if you correct it then it will flourish. The butter crunch and romaine lettuce that I grew were under 32watt ( I think 🤔 it’s in the video) and they put out 6500k. The 6500k light temperature is the best I could find locally I would consider that to be the minimum... 5000k might work but it will slow down the growth rate. 6500k 100watt equivalence bulbs are available at Home Depot and Lowe’s but not at Walmart. I do hope this helps. T
I watched the video but maybe missed the part about time to run lights?
I left mine on 24 hrs a day. But I think 16-18 hrs a day is sufficient for most plants
How many hours do you keep them in light? And do you also turn the lights off at night?
Lisa Hummel about 18 hours a Day is sufficient.... I leave my lights on 24/7 and have had no troubles. Thanks for your question! T
Put them on a timer so you don;t have to worry about turning them off and on. Just set the timer and forget it. Just check it once in a while to see if they are on an doff when they are supposed to be to make sure the timer is working properly.

Lisa Hummel Thanks for asking the question I’ve been wondering about for some time.
What about 30 watt led full spectrum grow lights
Lori McManus I have no experience with led bulbs at all... what is the light temperatures of those bulbs? If it is 6500 or above then they may work fine.

I might give it a try. Thanks for your videos.
@@mefford509 I grow seedlings for my garden using 5000K LED bulbs and they work find. I grow until seedlings are about 5-6 inches before I start hardening off outside. This year I had to bring them back in when they were about a foot tall because the spring weather was so bad and they still did OK, not great, but OK.
