I switched from regular florescent lights to the LED lights that are shown here. I start seeds hydroponically. Plants went Crazy ! Three to four weeks ahead of schedule, Actually too good. I had problems transferring them to cups. Anyone else experience this ? Love all your videos, many many Thanks !!

Gary, I have been binge-watching your videos for the past week since I found you. You are my go-to person for all things gardening. I just got a hyper tough light in 3200 lumens. Will that be enough for my pepper seedlings? Thank you for inspiring me to start a garden!
Very glad to share. Good luck with it! Please visit my seed and garden shop for your seeds, starting supplies, oils and more www.therustedgarden.com. Thanks.
I just bought 4 ft. led grow lights with the colored bulbs :-/ but after watching your video I checked, and it also has 6500 kelvin. I hope these will still work for germination. If not I can still use my old 4 ft. florescent bulbs I have used for years. Thanks for this video -- I learned a lot.
They do work. If it was a fair price thats cool. Sometimes they just charge a lot. Good luck. Please check out my seed shop at www.TheRustedGarden.com You can find seeds, seed starting supplies, neem oil, peppermint oils and more.
Last year, I rearranged furniture, so I could have full access to the picture window in my livingroom. I have no shed or basement. So shelving with lights will totally upgrade my seed starting capability.

I bought LED shop lights after watching your video on it a couple years back. Couldn't find the Kelvin units on the box but they sure are bright and have worked very well for me with starts. Timers take out all the work involved, except for watering of course. Wish there were as inexpensive in Canada as they are in the US. Definitely shop lights are less $$$ than grow lights! Thanks for the info.

My grow table is small. Only two tiered. But, the lights (unmovable) are too far away at first. I use upside down produce boxes like you get at Costco to raise them up to the light until they get big enough. Those produce boxes are great for that. Saved me a lot of trouble finding books and stuff to stack to get them close to the light. Hope this helps someone.

I am a gardening newbie who bought a new house last year with a greenhouse (lucky me). Not knowing much about gardening, I made every mistake possible the first year. This year, I am going to follow your plan exactly. I am in Zone 6 so will start seedlings shortly. I bought my shelving at IKEA and the lights at Home Depot. I just wanted to point out that Home Depot sells the exact setup you recommend and markets them as “grow lights.” They do not disclose the kelvins or lumens and they cost 3x more than the exact same lighting (with the kelvins and lumens disclosed). I opted against buying the “grow lights” and bought the fixtures and bulbs you recommended. I also wanted to say that I almost made the same mistake as you in buying a fixture that had to be hardwired (no plug). Reviewers had bought them specifically for grow lights and were upset that there was no plug, so I hope your viewers paid attention to that part of this video. THANK YOU for this amazing content. I will be watching your series in full.
Cool on the greenhouse. And making mistakes means you got started and congrats on that. For transplants, those are you need. Good luck this year. You should have fun Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com
You also want a high CRI number (Color rendering index. It was shown in the Philips bulbs at 2:49) It tells you how accurate the light output is. Fluorescent lights tend to have a green color cast and the higher the number, the less color cast. Anything above 80-85 should be good.
More to come. Just getting the set up and materials ready first. Please check out my seed shop at www.TheRustedGarden.com You can find seeds, seed starting supplies, neem oil, peppermint oils and more.
I just got to 4:05 and wanted to stop and make sure everyone knew that the Walmart LED kit you picked up does actually list the color temp at 5000k, under specifications. I bought this set sometime around Halloween and had to do a double-take at the checked out because I first believed that was a reprint of the lumen rating and wasn't sure it was enough to flower without a halogen supplement. Anyway...back to the video!
Sure thing! Also, regarding your comment on age, you really can't be very old. You look younger than me and I was born in '74. Really glad you did this video. I was worried I jumped the gun, but I want to try and get a (Mammoth) Jalapeno-Cubanelle F-1 before the last frost. Now I'm feeling more confident. Thanks!
At 14:38 you mention not really needing the blue and red (blurple) LEDs everyone always seems to be raving about and I'm really glad you did. I've had everything from Alysum to Habaneros flower under four 6500k 2900 lumen T-8s. The only problem is with fruiting. That's where the halogen bulb comes in.
I went from flourescent shoplights to 5000 lumens/6500k led lights. Still trying to figure out a good distance from the plants. With my flourescents I always kept them a few inches off the plant tops. Definitely a learning curve with Led's, already fried a few seedlings...
You are probably in the 4-6 inch range. But it is an experiment. Please Ring the Bell (next to subscribe) to get immediate real-time video notifications & Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com
From Home Depot I put together the following and has worked great for three years now now. I ordered from HDepot Feit Ecobulb Daylight ESL40TN/D. It is 6500 Kelvin and 2800 Lumens. Put them inside the 10 in. clamp light and they work great for small spaces. Only 40 watt and no heat at all from the lights so no burning of seedlings. I keep lamps at 4 inches above top of seedlings. Will cover 4 tomato seedlings for 6 weeks. Hope this helps you guys that have very little space like me. Don't forget the timer..
Pefect. True to the timer. Please visit my seed and garden shop www.therustedgarden.com for your seeds, seed starting supplies, package seed deals, oils and my new LOGO'd journals and harvest bags. THANKS! I have coffee mugs too but shipping is SO MUCH for them. Working on that.
GARY some videos show lights close to lettuce, others show light well off plants and said it was because of high out put but they never said what is considered high out put
So high output varies depending on what they mean. There isnt a catch all definition for it. If they refer to lumens passed 4000, 5000 lumens... they might mean high output. As you increase lumens to that level, you can raise the lights. I now have an Amazon Influencer's Storefront. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

I use the lights and shelves but I replaced the chains with string and run it up through the shelf and back down outside the shelves with a water bottle at the other end. And enough water to balance it out with the light. If you pull the bottles down it raises the lights. If you lift the bottles it lowers the lights.

Gary, thank you for all the knowledge you've shared with all of us! So inspiring that I am amping up my seed starting this year.What were your thoughts on the Hyoer tough LED shop light?
People say they are pretty good. Just get the numbers right and see what fits your budget. There are big price differences across basically the same types of lights.

We live in England. We have looked for a Growlight System like yours for indoors with the Shelves and Metal Hardware for your lights, we are unable to find them. Amazon do not do the shelving System. The system you bought did you just have to add the lights in? Growing indoors is very new to us and we really want to get the right equipment. Your formation was spot on for starting from Scratc if one does not know anything about indoor growing. I really enjog your Vlogs so much. Take care x
I just added the light. I found the basic shelving with the right size and added the lights. Thanks so much for watching. Appreciated and cheers!

Hi Gary, love your channel and have watched a majority of your videos. I’m hoping to start my seeds indoors for the first time this Spring. I live in SE Michigan. Would it be too cold in my garage to start seeds in the spring if I use heating Pads also? I’m assuming it’ll be 40-50 degrees by March- April. Thanks!
So no. Cool crops will love that. I would use the heatmat to germinate the cool crops and then let them deal with the temperature. Peppers and tomatoes will probably need a mat regularly. Please check out my seed and garden shop at www.therustedgarden.com
Well crap my lights I just got at home depot are only 1260 lumens but they are 5000k, that is for a clamp light, that's the highest lumens I could find unless I go over to the shop light area Edit: ok Gary I finish the video and got my answer! Thank you Gary for being so thorough! You're great!
Thats not so bad for a clamp light. They are hard to get beyond that. The 4 foot shop lights are better but depends on what you can get and how much space you have.

Thanks. I dont use the clear domes. I always found they added too much humidity and that only favored molds and fungus. In theory if watering them is a issue, a dome helps.

Your video is amazing but I need help please. I'm in the UK and I can't seem to find fixtures for the t8s that have cables/plugs, they've all been with the bare wires. I've found a "floodlight" that is 5000k and 1800 lumens, is that too low for seedlings?
I think it is too low. I really recommend 3000 lumens now. 5000k Is okay. The lowest I have used was 2100 lumens. But I am more worried a floodlight just doesnt give you the coverage.

I am loving your channel. You have helped me so much and I enjoy listening to you which is rare for me when it comes to youtube video's so thank you. One question, on the single LED light for the clap fixture, is that a flood light bulb or a spot light bulb? Happy New Year!
Thanks. I just looked for the box but I tossed it. I think it was a spotlight but to be honest I just look for the best lumens and kelvin ratings. With the LED wattage and heat shouldnt be an issue anyway. Good luck. Check on my new Harvest Bags at my seed and garden shop.

Gary, I see everyone is using the clamp lights. I have a reflector grow light already screwed into an IKEA henna cord. How do I make it work with the bins you cut a hole into the lid of?
You can cut a hole. But... you have to watch how the heat from the light impacts the plastic. You probably now that but safety first. Each light is different.

Hi Gary. Just wanted to say thank you for not only teaching me what's going on with my purple tomatoe plants! but how to understand fluorescent bulbs! I've been googling for weeks and still haven't found the answer you have given us!one question tho would a 6500k fluorescent light work to grow tomatoes through the winter?I'm in NZ and only need about 3 hour's aday of light! thanks again mate
They work for seed starting and tranpslants. For full tomatoes I am not sure. In theory yes but youd need really good light coverage. I now have an Amazon Influencer's Storefront.

Gary, love your videos. Ok LEDs don't put out the heat like a fluorescent, right? So for seed starting in a home office area (67-72F during winter) would you prefer the LED fixture about 2-4 inches above the surface or the fluorescent fixture about 1-3 inches above (I am using lighting you describe in video). Also same question if I'm setting up in an unheated garage (zone 7-b, typically 30-40F in winter) and using a heat mat.
Most everything is fine at those temps. Some things like peppers might germinate more slowly. I would go with LED most likely as they can have higher lumens. That is what I would look at. Just use a heating mat as you plan for flats that need more heat. Please help me build a greenhouse for FreeTown Farm, a non-profit I am volunteering at.

Thanks for the video which is very useful and completely cleared my mind about the lighting needed for the seedlings.. However I am confused about something ; I understand that you recommend using lighting as well during the germination stage, pls confirm if that is the case.. By the way I have not used lighting during germination previously but been successful except this year.. This year I have failed to germinate my tomato seeds with abt 70 pct failure, so your reply will be important, thanks beforehand, best regards/Murat
You dont need light to germinate. You need the plants, as soon as they germinate, to be hit by light or they can get leggy. If you keep a perfect eye on them and turn on the light right away, your are fine. Most people miss germination and if you miss it by long enough, plants get leggy. Varies based on variety.

Thank you, all clear now. I would love to do shopping at your place for my gardening needs however I am living in a small village on the Black Sea coast of Istanbul which is some 10k km away and seeds not allowed to be imported by individuals and equipment is way much expensive with the transportation fees in our day unfortunately.
Hello Gary! I live in Fremont CA (zone 9). Does that mean that I can put the pots with seeds in them outdoor and do without the lighting? Thank you for your advice. I enjoy watching your gardwning videos. Very informative.
Yep. If you dont have frost and you get decent day warmth, you are good go. Some people germinate the flat indoors but as soon as they break the surface, they go outside in zones like yours. Just dont let them get pounded by rain. I now have an Amazon Influencer's Storefront. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. It is free to use and anything you buy may be eligible.

a lot of the new led grow lights don't list lumens they use par rating and something else can't remember the second thing I want to over winter some of my plants and maybe grow some other vegetables over the winter it's very confusing.
I have to learn more about the PAR but grow lights might be more worried about it to differentiate them. Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More.

Hi Gary. Love watching your Channel and gaining more education on gardening. I was wondering what you suggest for a light that not only to use for starting my seeds, but taking them all the way to flowering if I want to continue to grow my plants inside especially through the winter months. If I have to buy some lights, I was hoping I can buy one that does it all if that's possible. Thanks in advance.
Thanks! You know I never took them to flowering. So I dont want to guess. I would check out other channels that have done it. Sorry. I now have an Amazon Influencer's Storefront.

Thank you so much for this video. How much light is enough? I am planning on starting seeds indoors and have a Southeast window with sun, how do I know if I still need to buy lights?
You should buy the lights anyway. Rarely does a window provide enough from germination and the 10-14 days to follow that. After they are 2 weeks old, a really sunny south window will work.

Hi Gary, I purchased lights last year and I didn't use much because I work night shift. I am afraid to have them on when not home, are you concerned of a fire from them? Thanks, Diane
Nope. I have had them on timers for 15 plus years. They are all designed for in house use and to be left on. I dont worry. Run them on day you are home. Check them out. That might help. Good luck.
The lights change up so often. Its not the brand but getting the right Kelvin and lumens values Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com
@Gary Pilarchik, have you noticed any difference in how the seedling starts do when under one of your LED's vs one of your fluorescent lights? There's alot of claims out there about LED lights saying for those that light temperature or even lumens doesn't matter and it's the PAR rating (which alot of LED lights won't say unless they are sold as grow lights). LEDs are very comparable, even cheaper than the fluorescents now (where I live), so I'm really wondering if you have insight into this. Also, at the store, I had to literally open the box to find out if it had a chain/cord for the fixture. It didn't say on the box at all, but it did have one inside.
PAR is great for full growth, flowers and fruit. Ive used Lumens and Kelvin ratings only and that has worked fine for transplants and 8-12 weeks growth.
Ive used those in the past and they work Please visit my seed and garden shop at www.therustedgarden.com for all your seeds, seed starting supplies and organic oils. Thanks!

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN I asked because I’m using a number of LED strip lights from my aquariums over my veggies starts. I also grow out on a shelf like yours. Some of my LEDs are 6500k but I have a few that are 10,000K from when I wasn’t growing aquatic plants. I used them last year but I suspect that the 6500K may be easier on the starts then the 10K. I don’t grow my starts into full fledged plants indoors, just start and transplant in the Spring. Is your book a hard copy or digital version?
Hi, Do you know a good lamp light for Wasabi plant. Wasabi does not like direct sunlight, it likes the shaded area. I live in the northeast, and I get 4 season weather. I will most likely have them indoors, and possibly let them go outside in the autumn. These plants are not seed starts, they will have some roots. Any recommendations, or what I should look for in this particular plant? Best - appreciate it in advance.
If you are around 65 to 70 degree F, you really dont need them. If you are germinating peppers, these temps work but it goes faster with a heat mat. They like to be closer to 80 F. If you are doing cold weather crops like lettuce, Kale, spinach, cabbage etc... a heat mat will make them tall and lanky. The prefer 60ish F. Good luck.

So I havent done much with that. I read they want more of specific color but as an expermient the 6500K really has all the light values. It should work. Also length of light and dark comes into play for some flowering plants. So its a bit beyond me.

Hi Thanks for all the info, love your channel - my question is if a tray is say 10x20 is one 2 ft T5/8 enough to cover it?? ... or ... I see on your site you have a 2 ft 4 bulb fixture, is that good to cover 2 10x20 trays etc. etc. ??? IS there a formula you used to figure out light coverage of the average 10x20 trays?? TIA Ron
Thanks so much. Usually I use 2 4 four foot fixtures that each have 2 bulbs. I put them side by side. The trays can fight nicely under that. Later vids in the series shows examples.

I have a very important question and I hope I get some answer, I heard that's lamps without uv don't do anything, I watched some of your video's now with lights and it are lamps without uv?
No UV on mine for over 20 years. Just these basic lights. UV would help transition them outside but not needed.

I don't know the part number but those lights are from Walmart. I've seen them in their home improvement section, in the aisle with all of the other tube lights.
The shelf unit I plan to use for seed starting is 48" wide and 20" deep. I plan on starting 4 1020 trays on each tier. My question is, would I need three shop lights per tier? I usually see people using two but they are running the 1020 trays the other way. Since the lights need to cover a wider area do I need the extra light or will two lights be enough?
Ive only uses 2. That works fine. If you are concerned 3 is better but thats up to your budget. Please Ring the Bell (next to subscribe) to get immediate real-time video notifications & Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com

Hi Gary, I went looking for new lights for next year and I found an led fixture at Home Depot that is 4K kelvin and 10,000 lumens. What is your opinion on the high lumens?
So I just havent gotten that high. You need to adjust the distance beyond what I suggest but that is a good thing. Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More
very frustrated that the lights I've looked at locally only list the Kelvin. not the lumens. found several affordable T5 fixtures with 6500K, but I have no clue what the kelvin rating is. any suggestions?
It can be frustrating. Aside from contacting manufacturer, I dont know of another way.

I have purchase LED tube lights which are 20 watts and 6500K? Is this a good light? I assume in LED lights watts can also be measured for lumens? kindly advise if this is a good light for seedlings and all other stages of my vegetable plants for indoors?
6500k I perfect. You want 3000 lumens or higher. 20 watts varies on intensity so you have to find the lumens rating. Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thank you Gary. Ideally, if each tube has around 1500 lumens with 6500k each, can i use 2 tubes together to compensate the 3000 lumens?

I just bought 4 ft. led grow lights with the colored bulbs :-/ but after watching your video I checked, and it also has 6500 kelvin. I hope these will still work for germination. If not I can still use my old 4 ft. florescent bulbs I have used for years. Thanks for this video -- I learned a lot.
They do work. If it was a fair price thats cool. Sometimes they just charge a lot. Good luck.

I bought LED shop lights after watching your video on it a couple years back. Couldn't find the Kelvin units on the box but they sure are bright and have worked very well for me with starts. Timers take out all the work involved, except for watering of course. Wish there were as inexpensive in Canada as they are in the US. Definitely shop lights are less $$$ than grow lights!

Glad it worked. I am getting some prop plants started now for videos.

My grow table is small. Only two tiered. But, the lights (unmovable) are too far away at first. I use upside down produce boxes like you get at Costco to raise them up to the light until they get big enough. Those produce boxes are great for that. Saved me a lot of trouble finding books and stuff to stack to get them close to the light. Hope this helps someone.
Perfect. If you cant lower, raise the tray.

I am a gardening newbie who bought a new house last year with a greenhouse (lucky me). Not knowing much about gardening, I made every mistake possible the first year. This year, I am going to follow your plan exactly. I am in Zone 6 so will start seedlings shortly. I bought my shelving at IKEA and the lights at Home Depot. I just wanted to point out that Home Depot sells the exact setup you recommend and markets them as “grow lights.” They do not disclose the kelvins or lumens and they cost 3x more than the exact same lighting (with the kelvins and lumens disclosed). I opted against buying the “grow lights” and bought the fixtures and bulbs you recommended. I also wanted to say that I almost made the same mistake as you in buying a fixture that had to be hardwired (no plug). Reviewers had bought them specifically for grow lights and were upset that there was no plug, so I hope your viewers paid attention to that part of this video. THANK YOU for this amazing content. I will be watching your series in full.
Cool on the greenhouse. And making mistakes means you got started and congrats on that. For transplants, those are you need. Good luck this year. You should have fun
Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com
You also want a high CRI number (Color rendering index. It was shown in the Philips bulbs at 2:49) It tells you how accurate the light output is. Fluorescent lights tend to have a green color cast and the higher the number, the less color cast. Anything above 80-85 should be good.
Thanks so much
Please visit my seed and garden shop at www.therustedgarden.com. Thanks!
As always, very informative. I look forward to the rest of this series. Thanks for sharing!

I have been using the hyper tough lights from wal mart for the last 2 years and have fantastic results.
Thanks
Thank you! Are they expensive?
@@Sg4809 around 20 dollars.
Awesome. I’m trying the same for the first time.
@@ah3ll0 I think you will have good results as well.
I just got to 4:05 and wanted to stop and make sure everyone knew that the Walmart LED kit you picked up does actually list the color temp at 5000k, under specifications. I bought this set sometime around Halloween and had to do a double-take at the checked out because I first believed that was a reprint of the lumen rating and wasn't sure it was enough to flower without a halogen supplement. Anyway...back to the video!
OH thanks. I am a bit blind Id say. 5000k and 5000 Lumens is great for 24 bucks. Thanks again.
Sure thing! Also, regarding your comment on age, you really can't be very old. You look younger than me and I was born in '74.
Really glad you did this video. I was worried I jumped the gun, but I want to try and get a (Mammoth) Jalapeno-Cubanelle F-1 before the last frost. Now I'm feeling more confident. Thanks!
At 14:38 you mention not really needing the blue and red (blurple) LEDs everyone always seems to be raving about and I'm really glad you did. I've had everything from Alysum to Habaneros flower under four 6500k 2900 lumen T-8s. The only problem is with fruiting. That's where the halogen bulb comes in.
I went from flourescent shoplights to 5000 lumens/6500k led lights. Still trying to figure out a good distance from the plants. With my flourescents I always kept them a few inches off the plant tops. Definitely a learning curve with Led's, already fried a few seedlings...
You are probably in the 4-6 inch range. But it is an experiment.

From Home Depot I put together the following and has worked great for three years now now.
I ordered from HDepot Feit Ecobulb Daylight ESL40TN/D. It is 6500 Kelvin and 2800 Lumens. Put them inside the 10 in. clamp light and they work great for small spaces. Only 40 watt and no heat at all from the lights so no burning of seedlings. I keep lamps at 4 inches above top of seedlings. Will cover 4 tomato seedlings for 6 weeks. Hope this helps you guys that have very little space like me. Don't forget the timer..
Pefect. True to the timer.

GARY some videos show lights close to lettuce, others show light well off plants and said it was because of high out put but they never said what is considered high out put
So high output varies depending on what they mean. There isnt a catch all definition for it. If they refer to lumens passed 4000, 5000 lumens... they might mean high output. As you increase lumens to that level, you can raise the lights.

I use the lights and shelves but I replaced the chains with string and run it up through the shelf and back down outside the shelves with a water bottle at the other end. And enough water to balance it out with the light. If you pull the bottles down it raises the lights. If you lift the bottles it lowers the lights.

Raising the seedtrays if there is a heatmat is, in my opinion, much more a hassel than lowering the lights.
Gary, thank you for all the knowledge you've shared with all of us! So inspiring that I am amping up my seed starting this year.What were your thoughts on the Hyoer tough LED shop light?
People say they are pretty good. Just get the numbers right and see what fits your budget. There are big price differences across basically the same types of lights.

We live in England. We have looked for a Growlight System like yours for indoors with the Shelves and Metal Hardware for your lights, we are unable to find them. Amazon do not do the shelving System. The system you bought did you just have to add the lights in? Growing indoors is very new to us and we really want to get the right equipment. Your formation was spot on for starting from Scratc if one does not know anything about indoor growing. I really enjog your Vlogs so much. Take care x
I just added the light. I found the basic shelving with the right size and added the lights. Thanks so much for watching. Appreciated and cheers!

zDo the bulbs you showed cost alot to run
Nope. Best to look up a wattage calculator on line and you can plug in info and know what it will cost you.

Hi Gary, love your channel and have watched a majority of your videos. I’m hoping to start my seeds indoors for the first time this Spring. I live in SE Michigan. Would it be too cold in my garage to start seeds in the spring if I use heating Pads also? I’m assuming it’ll be 40-50 degrees by March- April. Thanks!
So no. Cool crops will love that. I would use the heatmat to germinate the cool crops and then let them deal with the temperature. Peppers and tomatoes will probably need a mat regularly.

Well crap my lights I just got at home depot are only 1260 lumens but they are 5000k, that is for a clamp light, that's the highest lumens I could find unless I go over to the shop light area
Edit: ok Gary I finish the video and got my answer! Thank you Gary for being so thorough! You're great!
Thats not so bad for a clamp light. They are hard to get beyond that. The 4 foot shop lights are better but depends on what you can get and how much space you have.

I love your videos Gary, should I use the clear biodome on the starter trays..?
Thanks. I dont use the clear domes. I always found they added too much humidity and that only favored molds and fungus. In theory if watering them is a issue, a dome helps.

Your video is amazing but I need help please.
I'm in the UK and I can't seem to find fixtures for the t8s that have cables/plugs, they've all been with the bare wires.
I've found a "floodlight" that is 5000k and 1800 lumens, is that too low for seedlings?
I think it is too low. I really recommend 3000 lumens now. 5000k Is okay. The lowest I have used was 2100 lumens. But I am more worried a floodlight just doesnt give you the coverage.

What's the difference in the standard indoor bulbs vs the ones labeled as plant lights?
Nothing. Just more expensive.

I am loving your channel. You have helped me so much and I enjoy listening to you which is rare for me when it comes to youtube video's so thank you. One question, on the single LED light for the clap fixture, is that a flood light bulb or a spot light bulb? Happy New Year!
Thanks. I just looked for the box but I tossed it. I think it was a spotlight but to be honest I just look for the best lumens and kelvin ratings. With the LED wattage and heat shouldnt be an issue anyway. Good luck.

Gary, I see everyone is using the clamp lights. I have a reflector grow light already screwed into an IKEA henna cord. How do I make it work with the bins you cut a hole into the lid of?
You can cut a hole. But... you have to watch how the heat from the light impacts the plastic. You probably now that but safety first. Each light is different.

Hi Gary. Just wanted to say thank you for not only teaching me what's going on with my purple tomatoe plants! but how to understand fluorescent bulbs! I've been googling for weeks and still haven't found the answer you have given us!one question tho would a 6500k fluorescent light work to grow tomatoes through the winter?I'm in NZ and only need about 3 hour's aday of light! thanks again mate
They work for seed starting and tranpslants. For full tomatoes I am not sure. In theory yes but youd need really good light coverage.

Gary, love your videos. Ok LEDs don't put out the heat like a fluorescent, right? So for seed starting in a home office area (67-72F during winter) would you prefer the LED fixture about 2-4 inches above the surface or the fluorescent fixture about 1-3 inches above (I am using lighting you describe in video). Also same question if I'm setting up in an unheated garage (zone 7-b, typically 30-40F in winter) and using a heat mat.
Most everything is fine at those temps. Some things like peppers might germinate more slowly. I would go with LED most likely as they can have higher lumens. That is what I would look at. Just use a heating mat as you plan for flats that need more heat.

Thanks for the video which is very useful and completely cleared my mind about the lighting needed for the seedlings.. However I am confused about something ; I understand that you recommend using lighting as well during the germination stage, pls confirm if that is the case.. By the way I have not used lighting during germination previously but been successful except this year.. This year I have failed to germinate my tomato seeds with abt 70 pct failure, so your reply will be important, thanks beforehand, best regards/Murat
You dont need light to germinate. You need the plants, as soon as they germinate, to be hit by light or they can get leggy. If you keep a perfect eye on them and turn on the light right away, your are fine. Most people miss germination and if you miss it by long enough, plants get leggy. Varies based on variety.

Hello Gary! I live in Fremont CA (zone 9). Does that mean that I can put the pots with seeds in them outdoor and do without the lighting? Thank you for your advice. I enjoy watching your gardwning videos. Very informative.
Yep. If you dont have frost and you get decent day warmth, you are good go. Some people germinate the flat indoors but as soon as they break the surface, they go outside in zones like yours. Just dont let them get pounded by rain.

a lot of the new led grow lights don't list lumens they use par rating and something else can't remember the second thing I want to over winter some of my plants and maybe grow some other vegetables over the winter it's very confusing.
I have to learn more about the PAR but grow lights might be more worried about it to differentiate them.

Hello what about color levels? Does this option shown here only support seedling growth or do you still need full spectrum to grow fruit?
Well white light is full spectrum. But it has light that has no value to the plant. this is just for seedling and transplants.

Hi Gary. Love watching your Channel and gaining more education on gardening. I was wondering what you suggest for a light that not only to use for starting my seeds, but taking them all the way to flowering if I want to continue to grow my plants inside especially through the winter months. If I have to buy some lights, I was hoping I can buy one that does it all if that's possible. Thanks in advance.
Thanks! You know I never took them to flowering. So I dont want to guess. I would check out other channels that have done it. Sorry.

Thank you so much for this video. How much light is enough? I am planning on starting seeds indoors and have a Southeast window with sun, how do I know if I still need to buy lights?
You should buy the lights anyway. Rarely does a window provide enough from germination and the 10-14 days to follow that. After they are 2 weeks old, a really sunny south window will work.

Hi Gary, I purchased lights last year and I didn't use much because I work night shift. I am afraid to have them on when not home, are you concerned of a fire from them? Thanks, Diane
Nope. I have had them on timers for 15 plus years. They are all designed for in house use and to be left on. I dont worry. Run them on day you are home. Check them out. That might help. Good luck.
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thanks, I'll give it a go in January!! I watch you and Kim use them with GREAT success!!
Can you please do another Grow light video with different stores selling them for 2021 seed growing that would be so helpful.
The lights change up so often. Its not the brand but getting the right Kelvin and lumens values
Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com
@Gary Pilarchik, have you noticed any difference in how the seedling starts do when under one of your LED's vs one of your fluorescent lights? There's alot of claims out there about LED lights saying for those that light temperature or even lumens doesn't matter and it's the PAR rating (which alot of LED lights won't say unless they are sold as grow lights). LEDs are very comparable, even cheaper than the fluorescents now (where I live), so I'm really wondering if you have insight into this.
Also, at the store, I had to literally open the box to find out if it had a chain/cord for the fixture. It didn't say on the box at all, but it did have one inside.
PAR is great for full growth, flowers and fruit. Ive used Lumens and Kelvin ratings only and that has worked fine for transplants and 8-12 weeks growth.
What about a t12 with approximately 4100K and 2600 lumens?
Ive used those in the past and they work
Please visit my seed and garden shop at www.therustedgarden.com for all your seeds, seed starting supplies and organic oils. Thanks!
How does 5000k and 4400 lumens sound? I hope theyll work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I'm a fan.
Thats a great mix.

Hey Gary, have you ever used 10,000K LED light fixture?
I havent. I just dont need it for what I do but I bet it is bright and you can keep it high over a large space.
Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN I asked because I’m using a number of LED strip lights from my aquariums over my veggies starts. I also grow out on a shelf like yours. Some of my LEDs are 6500k but I have a few that are 10,000K from when I wasn’t growing aquatic plants. I used them last year but I suspect that the 6500K may be easier on the starts then the 10K. I don’t grow my starts into full fledged plants indoors, just start and transplant in the Spring. Is your book a hard copy or digital version?
Hi,
Do you know a good lamp light for Wasabi plant. Wasabi does not like direct sunlight, it likes the shaded area. I live in the northeast, and I get 4 season weather. I will most likely have them indoors, and possibly let them go outside in the autumn. These plants are not seed starts, they will have some roots. Any recommendations, or what I should look for in this particular plant?
Best - appreciate it in advance.
what do you think about heating mats for seed starters?
If you are around 65 to 70 degree F, you really dont need them. If you are germinating peppers, these temps work but it goes faster with a heat mat. They like to be closer to 80 F. If you are doing cold weather crops like lettuce, Kale, spinach, cabbage etc... a heat mat will make them tall and lanky. The prefer 60ish F. Good luck.
Gary Pilarchik (The Rusted Garden) what about herbs my basement is at 62 degrees . Should I do mats to help them germinate.. they are slow ?
Loomins...Kalmins? Is that the same as watts??
Nope.
Lumens and Kelvin.

Gary, say I wanted to just experiment with a couple fruiting plants inside, if I use these bulbs you suggest, will they flower and produce inside?
So I havent done much with that. I read they want more of specific color but as an expermient the 6500K really has all the light values. It should work. Also length of light and dark comes into play for some flowering plants. So its a bit beyond me.

Hi Thanks for all the info, love your channel - my question is if a tray is say 10x20 is one 2 ft T5/8 enough to cover it?? ... or ... I see on your site you have a 2 ft 4 bulb fixture, is that good to cover 2 10x20 trays etc. etc. ??? IS there a formula you used to figure out light coverage of the average 10x20 trays?? TIA Ron
Thanks so much. Usually I use 2 4 four foot fixtures that each have 2 bulbs. I put them side by side. The trays can fight nicely under that. Later vids in the series shows examples.

what is the part number for the hyper tough led light ? Having a hard time finding it.
I don't know the part number but those lights are from Walmart. I've seen them in their home improvement section, in the aisle with all of the other tube lights.
The shelf unit I plan to use for seed starting is 48" wide and 20" deep. I plan on starting 4 1020 trays on each tier. My question is, would I need three shop lights per tier? I usually see people using two but they are running the 1020 trays the other way. Since the lights need to cover a wider area do I need the extra light or will two lights be enough?
Ive only uses 2. That works fine. If you are concerned 3 is better but thats up to your budget.

Hi Gary, I went looking for new lights for next year and I found an led fixture at Home Depot that is 4K kelvin and 10,000 lumens. What is your opinion on the high lumens?
