I'm getting a good head start on the growing season with my grow light shelf setup! we've got all sorts of vegetables, fruits, and even flowers growing under these grow lights.
Let me show you my setup and what's growing! I'll be doing regular updates over the next couple of months on the progress of these plants before they go down to the allotment vegetable plot.
It's a common misconception that plants need fancy full spectrum grow lights. This isn't true if you're growing plants in the seedling/young plant stage and getting them off to a head start. Our plants will be flowering and producing fruit at the allotment in the greenhouse so full spectrum is not needed at this stage. These Barinna Led lights are enough and provide enough light for photosynthesis of young plants.

Cheers Steve! The peppers and aubergines are looking very good compared to this time in previous years so I'm hopeful it'll be a good year for them! 😁 Have a fantastic weekend whatever you're doing 😁

Morning Jim, wow seedlings are looking very healthy. I’m hoping to do lettuce and cukes today but I have to be aware of lights and space. I see those shelves all the time on marketplace so I may look into that option. Great idea with the tinfoil 👍. Have an amazing week, thank you for the tour, Ali 🥶🇨🇦

Nice set up with some good looking plants. I use the same lights as you. I have a set up in the shed that is a 4x2ft enclosed area that is completely covered in silver insulation with the fibreglass on the back. I have a 4x2 ft heat mat on a thermometer and the lights are on a timer. Currently I have Chillies , peppers and Aubergines in there. My cold tolerant crops are started on a garland Fab Four and then once germinated they go in the GH.

Nice setup! I'd like to set up a designated room/shed just for growing plants, but for now I'm just using part of our spare room at home. I've found that these 'shop lights' are just fine for getting things growing till they're ready to go into the GH what do you think? Rather than fancy grow lights

Hi Jim. I have the foil round my shelves too and not sure you'd seen, I pinched the van sun screen for the front! 😂 looks fab. Sweet potatoes? Do you just put one in soil in a tray and it will sprout? My water melons have been in over a month and nothing but Amir said they take a while and to hang on 😆🌱 so I am although mine are on the super 7 and now under lights? 😢 Fab update, everything coming along great 😄👏🏽 Rach 🌱👩🏼‍🌾

Hi Rachel. That's a fantastic idea with the sun screen for the front, I may have to steal that idea in the future 😂 I buried half the sweet potato in my potting mix and covered them in cellophane for humidity. They're on this heat Mat till they begin to give slips then I'll remove the heat and the cellophane as well. Water melons do take a while to get going (I've found anyway) I started these off around 3-4 weeks ago and they're still only on 1 set of true leaves even with the heat mat underneath. They'll come on in the next few weeks I'm hopeful! Thanks for watching!

My Led lights have arrived. What colour light do I use to germinate. the box says red but the internet says blue?? Thanks
@downtoearthwithjim
@downtoearthwithjim 4 месяца назад
That's great! I don't use the full spectrum lights with the red and blues. Maybe use both? I just use what are basically just shop lights and they do the job for me. Happy growing!
