    Yes spending lots of money on gardening is for those with money to burn. It’s totally unnecessary. Thank you for NOT doing a sponsored video on expensive equipment! 💕 🌼💮🌸🌷🌻

      Thank you for this video I've been struggling with led lights for a couple of years, simply because they're cheap to run,but I never realised that you can use fluorescent tubes too,I grow mostly vegetables seedling to grow on to potting up stage,well some veg like, aubergines and pepper family take a long time to get big enough to be planted out even into the greenhouse,your idea has given me a new insight and taken the guesswork from LEDs,thank you so much,

    Walmart sells a 4 foot led shop light for 20 bucks. No bulbs to buy or hardware, so it's cheaper and puts out almost twice the light. Less money on operating as well. They are so efficient your plants will grow way faster. So plan accordingly. Grow on my friend!!!

    You’re the best! Walking us through Lowe’s is so helpful-I don’t think most channels realize how intimidating it is to actually go to a store & sort through the aisles of stuff😂. This helps tremendously. Thanks for this hands on video.

    THE BEST BIDEO ON RUclips FOR HOW TO SET UP A SHOP LIGHT FOR SEEDLINGS!! I must have watched at least 50-60 so-called experts explaining how to set up the shop lights under the racks and NONE has done it as well as you. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY 66 year old lady heart.

  • @nancystallings1356
    @nancystallings1356 3 года назад +63

    This is why I love your channel! I live in zone 5 and wanted to start some flower seeds but then I priced the grow lights and knew that wasn’t going to happen because of the price. This shop light will be perfect and affordable!!! Also, thank you for taking us to the store and picking everything out and then assembled the shop light. I appreciate all your help. Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Valentines Day!❤️

    • @pershop4950
      @pershop4950 2 года назад +2

      Grow lights are expensive because they are marketed as grow lights.
      but there are many lights and shop lights and other flourescent and LED lights that give off the same Lumens and Kelvin ratings that you'd find on plant lights (referred to as warm and cool in the video).
      Also keep in mind that if you're just growing seeds , you won't need some higher-tech or higher cost lights like if you're trying to do an entire growing cycle indoors (seed/seedling/mature plants/flowering/fruiting etc)

  • @gibsongirl6816

    @TheVintageGardenerNJ 3 года назад +3

    Thanks for not doing sponsored content! Although cost isn’t a big inhibitor for me, I know that it is for a lot of people. Unfortunately a lot of gardening RUclipsrs are promoting very expensive grow light systems and just very expensive gardening stuff in general. It’s just not necessary! You can have a beautiful garden without all the fancy tools.

    Thanks so much for doing this video! I had ordered a very expensive grow system from gardeners supply because I didn’t know how to put my own together. Then I watched this. I was able to cancel my order, went to Lowe’s and bought this system. It’s ready and waiting for seeds to be planted tomorrow! And it saved me nearly $200! Thanks to you I had the confidence to do it!!

Wonderful, helpful video, now I can grow seeds on my skinny budget. Thank you
