Hey, hopefully I'm not too late but if you want some tips and mistakes I made using lights here they are: If you're growing high-light garden herbs like oregano, cilantro, etc... Definitely go for at least 2x 24w bulbs. As a rule of thumb you want 20-35 watts per square foot for a sun-loving plant. This guy is placing the lights way too close to the plant, I made that mistake, they'll eventually burn the leaves. You want to read the manufacturers note that comes with the bulb to get the right height, but with an LED it's at the very least 25cm above the plant. Also, never mist the plant the light on, especially if it's close to the bulb, it'll burn the shit out of the leaves, I killed an entire plant like that. Cheers, happy growing.

Troublein 421 Troublein 421 Wrong growing LEDs should be used to the manufacturers specs, they all are calibrated differently via the optics, however it's usually for around 25cm. CFLs don't burn a plant nearly as easy can be placed close like you said, but even with CFLs over 50w I personally wouldn't recommend closer than 10cm. I've had issues with cilantro going close which is far more sensitive than the bud you're growing, it's my canary. I was talking about misting mainly anyway, because misting while the light is on allows light to pass through the droplets on the leaves, which concentrates the energy to a single point on the leaf like a magnifying glass.

I always wondered about those blue/red LED lights.... It seems the newer generation of LEDs called "High CRI" (High Color Rendering Index) used in high end flashlights would be much better. The small Zebralight brand flashlight I have carried for 3-4yrs is rated at 85 CRI. That basically means it accurately reproduces 85% of the Suns natural light spectrum. It basically looks like daylight, with Zero blue or red tint.

+WisconsinEric I've been testing out a few LED flashlights and love them. My favorite is by Durapower - 500 lumen and rechargeable with a USB connection. My least favorite is also by the same company which they just sent me. It's a spotlight that is supposed to be 320 lumen and it's awful. I'd love to try some of the higher end ones.

***** Again they look just like daylight, none of that blue tint found in nearly all LED flashlights. I also have a Zebralight High CRI headlamp. The High CRI LEDs are far easier on my eyes when camping as my eyes become adjusted to the natural light from the campfire and candles... Blue and purple tinted headlamps are a complete buzzkill under those conditions as they seem harsh and completely unnatural to me, and they do more to temporarily destroy my night vision. There are also "neutral" and "warm" tinted LED flashlights/headlamps on the market, but not all of them are High CRI.

"natural light" is like saying natural heat. No offense but it isn't scientific, all light is the same. Light is just electromagnetic energy, the sun is emitting it as a black body (identical as an incandescent bulb). Other lights like CFL and LED don't produce all the wavelengths equally, they emit more of one type of light than other (most of the time this is deliberate). Such as in the grow lights being mostly red with a bit of blue, it's because plants use these colours and have been found to not use green or other things like infrared or UV. You can stand under the sun and feel some nice infrared light, or stand under a powerful halogen and feel the exact same thing, hope that makes sense. Both are actually identical, you are feeling infrared light. Some things are produced in our environment by themselves, but we start a lot of them ourselves to use them (just how we burn wood in a fireplace).

+SleestaksRule They should dial them down a LITTLE to make it last longer and no blow up in smoke, but you the actual power consumption should be 70-80% of the 'advertised' wattage. The advertised wattage for grow lights is simply what the actual LED is capable of [supposedly...]. The problem is they usually go cheap on the driver [power supply], which is the expensive part, so if you have a '36w bulb' [Ie: 36W of LEDs] but a 10w driver, you're not going to actually draw 36watts, but few than ten. There is NO consistency in the business and it's easy to just lie. The only way to actual tell is our wonderful friend the kill-o-watt [Or to maybe look at the parts...] As for the household bulbs. The advertised wattage is almost always the actual power draw. However when they say 'equal to 60watt incandescent' they're talking about lumen output. Anyway, that's my understanding. Regardless, thanks for the wattage info! I'll be subscribing!

Ok. One plant can grow under 12 watts. Size of a plant area approximately 10 by 10 cm. It means you need 1200 watts per square meter. It is typical intensity of Sun in summer. Can your plant grow under extremely low light for example 1 watt per plant? Can you figure out this number?

Germination is best done in the dark, my advice for fast high success rate germination is drop your seeds into a glass of water overnight, next day or so move the now germ'd seed into paper towelon a saucer or bowl, soak with water then the day after that use a pencil make a small hole in soildrop the seed in untill it is covered leaving ionly the the seed casing visible. In have pretty much 100% success rate using this method.

@@dtroystopper2 no 13 watts is 13 watts lol. Thr light produced and the type of bulb used will effect plant growth. But the wattage is the wattage, has nothing to do with how well something will grow something. Just comes down to the spectrum of light the bulb emits and its par rating. Wattage, lux, lumens... all meaningless with regards photosynthesis lol. Wattage is just how much energy it uses, lux and lumens are just brightness as precieved by the human eye.
