Always love the new videos! Thanks for all the content!! I’d totally recommend a light meter. Or even try a free one on your phone with an app. Since you have many different lights and different watts then you’d know the light strength at different distances from the lights. Then you’d be able to adjust plants heights to lights better that way. I own a few Barrina lights and they work well 🌱

And I just bought a Sansi clip on with 4 heads that I need to set up. And I have 2 really cheap 4 head free standing lights that I love! I put that stinkin' cheap-y light and my plants went into over drive! It was amazing. But I am slowly buying some better quality lights now.

LOVE my Kasa smart plugs/strips!I even got the outside ones this past Christmas for my outdoor lights. My son(26) was very impressed with his electronicly challenged momma lol. One thing that I had a bit of a challenge with was finding grow lights that work with smart plugs. Not all do, because if the plug turns off you have to reset everything. It's one of the reasons I also got the Barrina light bars (black) and very impressed with them especially for the price. They work great with the Kasa smart plug/strip. I also got the Sansi bulbs for my mid century tree lamp I found for $20 at a charity shop.💚✌🏽

Hi Fern! If you want to angle the Mother light in your Milsbo, and don’t mind drilling into the top of your cabinet, you can buy L brackets and use those as mounts for the Mother light. The holes on both ends of the Mother light can be screwed with the L brackets and then you can angle the light in any direction you’d like it to go. I did that above my WallyGrow set up with a Mother 32 light using L brackets and it’s working well. There’s usually a big selection of sizes at your local hardware store 😊

But so many people use them so I’m confused as to how they work so well.

Love the details! I use Sansi and i have found that their regular bulbs that are 250watt equivalent (they're not sold as grow lights) work GREAT for my plants, like I have growth on every single plant near these! It is wild! I actually would say that I think they work better than the 36 watt sansi grow bulbs but I can't be 100% on that since I don't have the same plants under it. But my my hoya and string of and my white ghost etc are ALL amazing with them! Even my freakin aloe went from dying every time I thought of watering it to being like 18 inches tall with 2 or so children in the pot... I use them where my props are as well! I am sure they use more power a day then the grow lights do but I am not having ANY issues with any plants with these bulbs, I mean, I have had scorching when the plant grows right up onto the darn bulb (the aloe) but I have no clue how long it was actually like that to know how long it took to burn. One thing I am finding very interesting is that with my Sansii bulbs from the puck lights to the clip lights is that everything is always actively growing! I see growth on my string of hearts string of bananas, string of pearls, my white ghost, my alocasias and my two begonias and my jade plants and so on... like if its a plant it is growing unless i forgot to water it LOL What I have def learned to love about the sansi is the price! It works great for my budget and in every setting so far. I do have one question though. I have a now one leaved treubii moonlight and it HATES LIFE. I've tried medium light, lower light, sunlight, etc would you consider putting it under one of the little clip lights from sansi or do you grow one? I have tried looking online and it seems i am either just highly inadequate at providing it the care requirements OR the people who do have a nice lush one just bought it LOL or I am just missing something and I can't figure out what. Since I don't see many plantubers anymore talking about this plant I'm assuming most ppl no longer have it but maybe they just aren't that great to talk about? Thats my only GAAAAAAAHHHH plant! lol Thanks Fern!!!

Excellent video, well documented. I really appreciate that! Oh wow, I have got to give my crimson princess way more light - yours is stunning! Yeah, $130 USD is just way too much, and especially in Canada, that's approx. $175 simply outrageous! Both Mother & Soltech were begging for competitors to come into the space. For plants, I like a white light colour, seems to bring out the colour. Oh no, you're not being nit-picky at all. For $570 USD it absolutely should be dimmable and have an on/off switch. Bizarre there's no on/off, lol!!

Being in the valley, we don’t get much sun AT ALL during the winter, so grow lights are EVERYWHERE in my house. Hope we don’t have any fires like previous years, we’re in semi-arid conditions, been evacuated twice over the past 3 years, not much snow this year so I’m worried… I don’t need the specs on each light, right over my head, all I need to know is how well they grow plants! I like barrinas, Sansi and monios lights so far I felt the ikea greenhouse fell apart way too easily for me, it was awkward to move and clean, when I put it back together I’ll try to find a better way to attach the panels

I have BN Link Wi-Fi timers for all my lights and control them with the app. So, if I want to go to bed and I'm already in bed, i just open my app and shut it off. There are others out there that have 2 plugs instead of all the ones I have that just have one plug per times. Honestly, I love them and I have about 15 of them throughout the house.

My 16" Moya strips died after about three months, unfortunately. They literally went "on the blink." Replaced them with a similar item from a different company (Kullsinss) and I'm coming up on three months, so fingers crossed!

Hi Fern 💫 Thank you so much for another helpful and informative video. I finally got myself 2 asparagus ferns (because after seeing yours many moons back, I was on the hunt) and I got them on clearance for $2.99 each ~ However, they were super yellow and I brought them home, cut off most of the yellow and there is some green coming but not a ton and I don’t want to lose them. How often should I water them? They are under grow lights so I’m wondering if that’s contributing to the leaves staying yellow? Any help is greatly appreciated. These are finicky little things but I’m enjoying the challenge of figuring them out. Enjoy your upcoming weekend. 🙏🏻💫

From what I know they love lots of light! Mine has only turned yellow from underwatering. I do let it dry out fully between waterings and then drench it. Yours should perk back up with some good care!! :)

👋🏼 how r u? Day 3 of your Vds 😅 i’d order some plants from North Shore. I’m very scared cause I had I think three of them already and they died and I think it’s because they’re not in a cabinet with high humidity so I am watching your video charmaine‘s video everybody’s video to make sure this group does not die and I saw that video where the roots had the infestation of mites. Oh my gosh🤢that would creep 🤢me out. Plants r stunning💛💚🌼🍀

Great video!! I’m starting the process of setting up an ikea millsbo tall cabinet specifically for alocasia, would you still recommend the Mother lights for inside a cabinet? I wondered if after getting the Soltech grove if you would recommend those being better for a cabinet since they swivel? Anyone who has rec’s for cabinet grow lights I would much appreciate it 😊

I like the Mother lights in my cabinets because they’re waterproof and my cabinets can get very humid. I’ve seen lots of people use the Soltech ones though and I’m sure they work great!

I have buyer's remorse with my aspect light. It bleaches anything remotely close and isn't enough light for things farther down. I'm trying to transition more hoya, but I have a display point that is the highest and I can't put any of my monstera at that point. I'm currently trying my florida ghost which was not getting enough light under a sansi bulb. Eventually, I could put a large alocasia under it, but I don't have an alocasia big enough yet. Sigh...

How did you mount the grow light in your bedroom for the Wally grow pots? It looks like it was wired in to the house. I’d have to have an electrician mount it.

It’s not the hardwired option. It’s just mounted on the ceiling and plugged into a regular outlet on the wall.
