I was surprised not a lot in plant community tackled about light and plant requirement. The first thing I learned before buying my first grow light was to understand PAR or commonly called Photosynthetically Active Radiation. This will tell you a lot how much light is beneficial for the plant. Lumen is a measurement that our eyes perceived. It may be brighter in our eyes but it so dim for the plants. His analogy of the 2 hose with same power but different size output is best to describe and understand PAR. I once had a LED light that’s giving me a PAR output around 400-600 which is good if your growing vegetative. But I noticed my plant was growing abnormally even though it has a good PAR reading. Only to realised that they’re actually 6000-8000 kelvin. Still useable for plant but on blue side of spectrum, plants thrive better on 3000-5000 kelvin, this sort of mimic the sun daylight and work best for any type of indoor plant.
Mars-Hydro 1000 series that’s the grow light he is using for his monsteras. Very good growlight. Other alternatives brands are Spider-farmer, Viparspectra, Maxisun. They’re not cheap but work so well for indoor plant.
There’s a couple of videos that tackle PAR thoroughly. Give yourself a chance to see it and you will learn a lot.
For all the people that growing hydroponics indoor, light is the biggest topic, second to plant nutrient requirement.
Thanks so much! I’ll pin this!
Thanks for the extra info.
Hi there. Are you sure that is the MH 1000? and not the 2000 or the 3000? So much light from a 150w light?
@@LegendsOfMonstera Jimmy, please go back and visit this guy again; he was fantastic. Loved the scientific info about the lights and meters, etc. Also would like to see his room "upstairs." Thanks!
Coming from hydroponics, these things arn't that complex but for some reason aroid growers shun the science. It's not scary at all.
That said, I could barely find any information for PPFD (heck, give me lux even.) values and DLI values online for aroid plants, and in particular, variegated plants. People just say, they need more than their non-variegated ones. How much more, exactly? 10%? 20%? Would be nice to get some input here, getting a couple more variegated plants.
I need to hire this man to come walk through my house and give me a light lesson with my plants. He's so smart and it makes sense!!
This video changed my perspective on indoor tropical plant lighting entirely. This is one of a handful of videos on RUclips that should be more watched by the plant community. I can personally highly recommend the spot on meter as well.
Jimmy, please go back and visit this guy again; he was fantastic. Loved the scientific info about the lights and meters, etc. Also would like to see his room "upstairs." Thanks!
This was super interesting, thank you! I’d love to learn more about the science of light. 🙌
I have about 18 orchid plants and I feel I can’t handle any more. My hat goes off to this guy for managing so many plants.
I found this through my favorite plant group on facebook and this video is infinitely helpful. I've had SO many questions about indoor lighting and no one ever gives these in depth answers and real time readings. Thank you so much for this!
This was excellent, thank you. As my plant collection has grown and taken over every window I’ve been using grow lights to bring more plants to the interior of my home. This info will now be considered when I search for my next grow light.
This was a really great video! Love how chaotic his place was and it really spoke to me. My place is small and I have a ton of light since I live in a basement apartment. I value function over ‘aesthetics’ right now. Maybe in the future I’ll care about how things look but I’d rather have happy plants especially when they weren’t exactly cheap. I’m still learning how much light for how long and how far. I’ve run into the chlorotic looking leaves because I had plants too close. We need more practical videos like this because I literally went through research mode regarding lights and I did get a lot of information skewed towards crops or marijuana. Giving experienced people like this a platform is amazing. Thanks!
I agree with you! I'm a plant collector for 5yrs now and I can't keep the aesthetic way like those on Instagram hubbies. I invest most on soil mixture/substrates , white bulb & clay pots.
Yes! Weed growers have the best information but it's not geared toward tropical plants.
I love your messy plant room I'm pretty sure heaven has a room just like this.
This is a AWESOME video… thank you so much it’s soooo helpful… I like it when u find a person who has done al lot of trial and error . Thanks
This guy is insane in the best possible way. I love it.
Talk about complicated, I don’t mess with lights or humidity. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah I was interested in all kinds of plants I come from a aquatic plant aquarium fish background I love growing planted tanks and as I got into houseplants or tropicals and alocasia I was scared away from the stigma of "plants to stay away from" or "plants not for beginners" and I hesitated for years then I just started buying rare alocasia and monstera philodendrons etc. And I grew them beautifully I learned I figured it out I did my homework!!? I highly recommend to everyone just buy it and grow it!! Don't be afraid just get it and take care of it plants are so rewarding!!!! Great video I'm subbed!! It's science Bro!! LoL
Amazing and super helpful thank you!
Thanks for good insights about light and different needs of different plants.
No problems right now in Sweden with the midsummer sun that is shining🤩, but winter is coming, so we have to be ready to fix some extra light then😜🪴
That is a nice work place habitat! I've also got a plant cave work space and I've been experimenting with light as well for my indoor garden this past year. I've been focusing on creating indoor island habitats with glass wear for water features. I've also harvested various moss and lichen from my backyard and have been integrating that into my island designs. I've currently got 5 big islands in my house, each with a different plant theme and climate. I tried to recreate a Galapagos, Azores, and a Indonesia/New Caledonia style climates on my indoor islands. Outdoor conditions are still important with respect to indoor humidity I've discovered. I do live on the foggy coast of NorCal so that helps my indoor tropical plants to stay a little more damp. I've got an average humidity reading of about %60 here in my indoor garden on the foggy coast of Humboldt. Happy gardening!
Great video. I have these industrial lights in a large machine shop, and they also installed them in my office. It's a high ceiling. I do have a couple plants on my desk and they love the lights. I do have some windows that are higher up, but they don't really get a lot of sun. Most of the sun ends up on my computer monitors and desk. I'm actually going to plant bamboo in some pots and leave them under the window so they grow up to the widows to provide shade.
Thankyou very much for this informative video, its given me plenty of food for thought with regards to improving how i use my own grow lights.
Look at that full pink leaf philodendron pink princess 😱😱😱 goals
He really has the light down too a science. His place makes me feel better that I’m not only one with plants everywhere. 💚 I hope at some point in this series you go through an give names for some of these plants. 😀
Haha it wasn’t really practical to go through all the plants in this series 😅😅
So knowledgeable!!!
This video was very very helpful
Soo happy i found u
Excellent information.
So informative, thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
when you opened the door and showed the plants, i just went "whooooaaa"
Yeeaaaahh. That’s how I reacted too lol
I have had a juvenile Monstera Deliciosa beside my desk with the tower & monitors blocking the 8 foot sliding glass door that's a good 10-12 feet away, and a 4 foot hanging 4 tube full spectrum light with the end of it about 3 feet diagonally from the plant. I only crack the blinds in the morning for 'no' direct sun & open them once the full Eastern sun has past. Even so, it leaned very heavily towards the monitors & up to face the glass doors instead of the hanging light with a Southern facing 3 foot glass door beyond it that was so much closer to it. To me this was bizarre, bc the full spectrum was right there, but it totally went for the "blue Eastern sky." I recently moved it to the other side of the monitors to give it what it clearly wants.
Came for light recommendations left with so much more knowledge. Great video
This guy is one of mine!!🤣 i like playing with media ..with lightning and chopping my plants for experimenting what light and soil do best for each!!😊 oh i use to play with nutrients but i stop and stick to just one because i burns some plants 🥲
Chopping and experimenting is too risky for me right now.
What nutrients have you switched to?
Been growing 30 yrs I’ve never burnt anything with Jack’s. It use to be Peters an all greenhouses an nurseries use to use it.
Thank you 🤝🌱🌿
Wow! I would love to spend time learning from this guy!
Would he consider teaching online?
I'm curious to know what his BGE bill is at the end of the month
Excellent! Although all I know is the old school electric meter would be spinning its tail off right now....:)
Great content thank you. I was distracted By the amazing green Monstera couldn’t keep my eyes off it. Now have a new unicorn. Anyone know what form it is? Possibly from seed?
Any chance we can get access to the light requirement data collected for the plant types?
i think some one has came up with it. can't remember the name.
😊
8:44: great tip
Are the light readings that you took in the video measured in PPFD format, as in micromoles per meter2 per sec?
This is so interesting since almost all Aroids can fall into the "bright indirect light" bin and then with growlights you don't really know how many/far/close/bright they actually should be
Just got my first Thai con and deciding between the soltech 20w or 40w which one should I get??
Very interesting. I actually go by Kelvin, I typically go for 5000K but in my ikea Greenhouse I have 4000k, under cabinet lighting, not specifically grow light, my plants love it.
Me too, I like mine to be 5000K- 6000K
I just look at Kelvin and called it a day too tbh, but it’s not optimal. Jeff’s explanation makes sense as in how much light the plant gets also takes into account how close the light is and also how long it’s on for. What’s the real difference between 4000k and 5000k? And what is too much? I’m in the same boat you are haha, but this hopefully offers some considerations for those who want to take it up a notch. Cheers!
I'm thinking about a spider farmer sf4000 in center of my room by any chance do you know what his large light in center was? for monsteras
Omg!!! Is this plant store ?
I wonder if the white walls reflecting the light helps those low light philo.'s and anthuriums.....
Yes it thus help the white wall to bounce back the light to those bottome part of plant's. I keep my trailing plants against white wall so that the leaves grow big bec I hate using moss pole and on top of that it helps me a lot to visualize faster any bugs.
That PPP!!!!
Great info again, thanks for sharing, very concerning to see there's an office space in the middle, for people who see my comments, please wear PPE when dealing with grow lights. Just do some google search, you will find heaps article.
So grow lights are super confusing to me. How many lumens would you suggest for a variegated monstera when I only want to leave my lights on like 10/12 hours a day?
Very interesting and informative video.... But in my home, I also want to live and relax and so does my boyfriend. We both have very stressful jobs so I want our living room to have a calming zen aura when we come home. I try to meet the light requirements of my plants (by having most of them in and around my south and east facing windows), but I think those who need artificial light are not meant to live with us.
Fascinating!! Do you think it’s fun for him or is it all scientific project?
I think he gets a blast out of all of it. Seems he’s really really into the experimentation and figuring out the plants over just looking at them haha
@@LegendsOfMonstera lol. Well then good for him!!!
I need help please... I want to grow my own organic chemical-free lime tree, fruit (papaya) and vegetable (romaine, basil, chili, morning glory, etc), but my house is very nicely shaded which is nice for living here but not so nice to grow plants. I am thinking about buying grow tent and get one of these lights. I need advice please. Does those purple light work? It will be outdoor, but it is very shaded outdoor. By the way, i am a complete noob...
I just got a rooted Albo and Mint Adansonii, and will propagate an Obliqua Peru. What DLI do you suggest I target? Roughly estimating 6 for the Albo , 5 for Adansonii, and 2 for the Obliqua Peru.
how did you go 😊?
@@elodieradigon2600 so far so good 👍
When does the video with Stephanie Chen come out?? Curious
Haha I’m just waiting for her to give me the go-ahead to release them. So whenever that happens 😅😂🙌
@@LegendsOfMonstera lol. Thanks. Just wondering cuz the preview got me excited and that was a while ago.
@@LegendsOfMonstera soon
Me: Here to figure out how to keep my outdoor plants alive inside during the winter. Professor: So what helped me was to walk thru a rainforest...Me: Still watched the whole way thru and making notes like there is a test tomorrow
I am curious to know what the specific lights are that he is using in this room (besides the Soltech).
Links should be in the description. Quite a few options.
@@LegendsOfMonstera Thank you!
I would pay for his data
actually more light doesn’t hurt the plants. but need to add addition co2. Monsters albos need 100
In what form would you add the additional CO2 supplement?
And on the next episode of hoarders…..plant edition.
I am also learning what plants want. I wish they understood English. Maybe just the Ivys. LOL Some of my plants want MORE light than the plant description/recommendations. Who knew??
What is that light meter? I need one asap
He captioned it in the video
In description
Has NOBODY noticed that there is ZERO introduction of who this guy is?????????? I've not heard his name once... WHY?????????
I have started to add bark (Pacific Northwest) to my aroid mix and I see it getting moldy on top of the substrate, really scared what's going on below. I water from below, and don't believe I'm over-watering, so I'm not getting the whole bark thing?? Does anyone else have the same experience?
It’s from like lack of proper air circulation, so the top of your medium is staying wet too long. If you always bottom water, make sure you are also occasionally/monthly flushing the salts from your medium by watering from the top until it flushes through and out the bottom. Accumulation of fertilizer salts in your pot will hurt your plant. Best wishes 🪴💕
@@kathlenemcclain9044 Thanks, I really appreciate your advice and time! And yes, that's what I am missing for sure.
One thing you can't be accused of hoarding is plants.
