you can turn a nontimed light into a timed light using a christmas tree timer! i did this with my reading light in elementary school so i wouldn’t stay up to late!
For the manual lights, you might be able to plug them into a smart plug! The smart plug could then be set on a timer or turned on and off using an app on your phone.
Hello! May I ask which plug or grow lights you use? I have grow light bars with timer and a smartplug, but the plug can only turn off the lights, and not turning on :( Where could be the problem of my setup?
but are those LED purple lights actually UV lights?? can you please post the exact kinds you use that have been effective? thank you soo much;) my plants get moldy fast and die basically from swampy like root kill ;( PS i'm not overwatering it is just general high moisture in the house.
@@GoodandPlantyIs it Practical to grow plants in led lights? Or are there certain plants which can't grow in led lights? Or are Halogen lightbulbs better? Or you have to use UV light with the Led bulbs? WHAT DO I DO?
Thanks for the video tour! I've been trying to find some grow lights and the choices are mind boggling. I loved actually seeing the lights in use because I'm very particular on the hue and brightness of lighting. I'm gonna try those Barrina T5 lights
Are you looking for a professional led grow light? We have very good professional led grow light, if you are interested, let's talk about more details.
Fascinating! There are not too many videos about using grow lights for house plants! Excellent video! For me I think a grow light at my cactus would be good for the winter months because there is much less bright direct sun during winter. Other than that I place my plants at or near windows.
7:22 thank you for showcasing this! I’ve been tryna get this exact light. given that these grow lights have higher wattage than lights used for illumination, what sort of socket do you put this bulb into so that it doesn’t spark/ignite any sort of unfavorable reaction???????
Wow!! This is a great channel I'm glad I chanced upon this video. My room has almost zero natural light. Which plants would you recommend for me to have under grow lights alone?
sooo many plants do well under grow lights! philodendron, syngonium, peperomia are great and succulent plants like string of pearls are FANTASTIC. thanks for watching!
thank you for this comment! I'm in the same situation, because my bedroom is in a basement and my only light is a window well, so these recommendations are awesome
I am one of the people who assumed I could switch out my ceiling light for a grow light and it would work. Realized it didn’t a while ago and trying to figure out what else to do so this was a really helpful video. My miracle grow bulb won’t fit in any setting I have, and my ikea string light says it’s not powerful enough for it but there’s no light in my house anymore bc upstate ny winter so I’ll probably buy that one light you have
Fitting grow lights into your home is so hard!! I’m still learning how to play with grow lights so it’s functional but not an eye sore 😅 I wish my ikea lamp could take a grow light.
I LOVED your plant shelf. The only thing that concerns me when having the lights on all day for my plants is the electricity bill. Would you say that the recommended lights for the shelf are « economical » ( in terms of electricity consumption??) 🪴🪴🪴
My house temperature is below 70 degrees in the winter with no much sunlight. I just divided several aloes and mother in law tongues. My aloes are not happy and are still flopped over and some have what appear to be rot at the base or what looks like they are too cold like a vegetable that got to cold. Do you think I should just put some grow lights on them? I don’t want to keep losing them it’s been over a month
Love your video it was so helpful 🪴✨ Just a Q - where did you get your shelving set up from that was at 1:43 of the video? Any helpful tips? Thanks!! 🥰
my rubber fig plant has grown aLOT and i can’t keep it in the window sill .. can i use a grow light only for it? Since there’s no other good place for it than the window sill,rest of my house is dark😢
8:13 That is definitely too close . I would put it on the ground right next to that small table and maybe lift the light a little or just let it shine over all of them haha
Technically speaking...could I use the haus bright bulb in my room as my main room light, and have light for my plants and me? Is that safe for people? 😅 I live in a country with very little light
Hey so excited to have found your channel! I was wondering if it matters what time of day you have your grow lights on? I just got mine yesterday & I’m not sure if I should have them on at night or during the day? Thank you!!!
hi! i turn them on to either enhance or replace sunlight. so, i usually turn them on during the day. the length of time will depend on the light's strength and how much natural light the plants already get.
hi! yes, that's a florida ghost. i totally recommend kaylee ellen's video on them for any tips because i struggle with the color! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TaRYS9pOVHo.html
How to use grow light and humidifier? Can they be used at the same time or separately in different time of the day? When is the best time to use the grow light? Sorry, so many questions 😘
@@GoodandPlanty Totally! I have been keeping plants since I was in high-school and I am 40 now! I also cultivate mushrooms. You would love it! Expect my gift first week or two of January. I really love your enthusiasm for plants. Cracks me up when you call your plants her! Its so cool you responded to my comment..bit starstruck!
In your opinion it doesn’t make a difference to switch out a regular bulb with a grow light .. okay just to share I have a “Wandering Jew/ Zabrina Pendula” Under the regular ceiling light the leaves were turning green & loosing their color I switched the bulb out for a full spectrum light & now it’s turning dark purple especially the new buds.. so maybe it’s still an okay option to start off
I totally agree! The lightbulb I showed is a grow light, it’s just in place of where normal bulbs are. I was saying that the normal lights will (usually) not do anything. Sorry if I didn’t make that clear! Also, as a side note, it would be preferred to call those plants “wandering dudes” or by their scientific name. Just wanted to mention that in case you didn’t know! “Wandering jew” has a negative connotation.
Hi! Does the light always have to come from above? I have some plants that are on the floor and I wouldn’t know where to place a light, if it was on the ceiling I guess it would be too high?
It also depends on the Kelvin or the Lums. That’s what important. If You have a 6K light it can be further from the plant and effectively give light to more plants. I believe so much is made of the lights without even considering where the plants are situated and what they are for plants. Not ALL plants have the same light requirements. And if You want to avoid burning your plants and have like 90% of most Houses/Apt. white walls direct the light towards the wall and you can give more light to other plants. This plant Journey doesn’t have to be complicated but it seems like every Fade there are Those that take it to Extremes and it’s actually only about giving the correct living conditions for a plant to live. Light alone won’t help any plant to live. Attempt to duplicate the conditions outside. Unfortunately Many get caught up in the BS and because of limited experience go out and buy whatever Someone suggests thinking they’ll get the same results. It doesn’t work that way. Most of the Videos are made by Folks with years of experience and the plants are also pretty old. So do Your Homework before getting a plant. Know the requirements, where it’s going to stand, and will it work in the conditions You can provide. It seems inappropriate to buy a plant that is already huge to put in a 1 room apt. The fun in the Journey, in My opinion is to let the Babies grow and make Babies that make wonderful gifts for Friends. But You start with the less Challenging and gradually through trail and error and knowledge, advance with Your skill set. I don’t believe Everyone needs a grow light. And if the plant is acclimated to the given light in Your environment it will live through the winter just fine. Ask Yourselves why don’t the trees or ALL plants die in winter? How far is the Sun from Your plants and they still grow or not? It’s more complex as the lack of light. I don’t mean to throw any SHADE on the video but Folks need to use Common sense and not be influenced by everything they hear. Plants grow toward the light source. So if the light comes down on the plant the plant will be leggy, reaching for the light. If the light comes from the floor the plant will be still going to the ceiling but not as quickly. Sit in Your room and watch how the light travels in Your environment and it will answer all those LIGHT questions.
sorry not a plant related comment, but where did you get that hoodie ?? its so cute! i love the reflective stripes against the baby blue color and the drawstring part of your hoodie!
full sunlight is 2000 µmol m-2 s-1 or 108,000 Lux (2000 ∗ 54). Multiply the Lux by the conversion factor to get PPFD. For example, full sunlight is 108,000 Lux or 2000 µmol m-2 s-1 (108,000 ∗ 0.0185).
Quick question. Do you think that the strip lights would help the plants on my shelf that are about 3-4 feet under the light? Or would they be too far to the point where the light wouldn’t even be helping?
I know it was late when I commented, but are you still looking for led grow light? We have some good led grow light products, let's talk about more details.
I have a window in my room in the basement but it doesn’t get that much light as it’s below ground level and also it’s winter rn so I’m wondering what your setup is? And if you like it or feel like it needs improvement?
@@KonekoNaru I like my setup! My main one is actually featured in Kats video roasting peoples setups! In that area specifically I have an elechomes humidifier, monidos grow lights, and IKEA Omar shelves I’ve found that the grow lights can be too intense for some plants, though, so I have to be careful about creating enough distance between the shelves and lights for certain plants But my Hoyas absolutely LOVE the lights!! If you want I can find links to the things I have ❤️
Hey! Does your haus bright grow light bounce off the walls all around your room? It doesn't seem to in the video but idk if it's different in person lol. They seem to be doing that in my room
@@GoodandPlanty thank you for responding! 🥺 ya I did... I got the purple one 😅 I do have the warm one coming but it says it won’t arrive to middle of February so I got this one for now. I think in some areas the purple does reflect (maybe bc of my wall paint) and in others it doesn’t but it does make my whole room look purple 😅 for now I tried to makeshift the lamp I got for it in my closet and leave my plants there... they immediately perked up with the light but ya I’m ready for my warm one that’s coming 😂 was just wondering if uv rays can reflect off the walls? Lol
Hi Kat, Love the video! Could you tell me exactly what the wire is called that you bought from Ikea. I am buying the Haus light for a friend. I would like to give her the whole set up.
@@GoodandPlanty Thank you, Kat, for responding so quickly! I checked and my local IKEA has them in stock. I will be going later today to pick it up! You are a lifesaver!
Help me! I want to do a bioactive for my hedgehog and since their natural habitat is an arid thing I looked up hedgehog safe succulents. Echeveria Spider Plant Snake plant Air plant. This is what I planning on gey for his bio. Would the first one work fine? Will it harm him? Im have the enclosure that is 2 feet tall if I keep the light from that distance would that be fine?? Please reply!:) Edit the first white one. Thank u!
hi! they are non toxic but the rigidity of them may or may not be safe. i have no experience/knowledge on that so i can't give advice on whether or not they are safe around hedgehogs. they do need bright light, so the lighting conditions they need may actually harm the other plants you plan on putting in the bioactive. hope this helps!
You should pay attention to the distance between the lamp and the plant, but it is recommended that you replace a led grow light, they generate less heat and will not burn your plants.
