Easy Beginner's Guide To Grow Lights For Houseplants 💡 GROW LIGHT 101 🌱 Why, When + How To Use Them

[@TheJungleHaven]

Since making this video I've found my FAVOURITE GROW LIGHTS EVER (hand on heart, I'm not getting paid to say that 😂)!! I also just made a video about my latest grow light shelf set up: 🌿 GROW LIGHT DISCOUNT CODE 🌿 (Activate the code before using it via this link): www.mother.life/en/shop/privilege Code - JUNGLEHAVEN

[@daveed8381]

Utter chancers talking shite, with a nice website. But feel free to give them all your money for what amounts to a fancy plantpot. Also, not encouraged by the pic of the singed, floppy spiderplant on their own website :D

[@TheJungleHaven]

@@daveed8381 Hey Dave, just wanted to say that I haven't been paid to talk about this company - nor is that link an affiliate link. I personally just absolutely loved their grow lights and they're the best of any I've tried. I appreciate what you're saying, but I just thought I'd put that out there as I wouldn't ever recommend something I didn't truly believe in x

I have the Mother Grow light too and I think it’s amazing! I got them specifically for a Monstera Aurea and a Thai! I’ve had NO issues with my plants whatsoever except nice, beautiful healthy plants

Plant newbie here. Thank you for this video, it helped a lot. I live in Canada and it’s getting cold. I want to be a good plant mama so I bought a grow light to help my plants thrive in winter. Fingers crossed that it works!

I realise I said PFF instead of PPF - I'm a numpty and my dyslexic brain got the better of me 😂 Let me know if you've got any questions, and I really hope you find this useful 🌿

Turning your lights to red in the evenings is amazing! I am a Red Light Therapy Specialist (for humans lmao not plants) and I always tell people that are skeptical about the existence of red light that red light is strongest at sun up and sun down which is why the sky is red when the sun is setting. Thats when you (and your plants) are getting the strongest amount of natural red light!

[@ld6155]

You say ur a red light therapy specialist. R these lights for plants same as red light therapy for humans

[@toriandtilly]

@LD I don't fully understand what you are saying, but it's the same basic concept. In plants, it helps them grow and in humans it helps heal your body by stimulating the mitochondria to create more energy for your cells to be able to do more for you.

[@flatcreek4665]

I tried a Red Light Therapy bed this past winter and LOVED it! I truly believed it helped with the “winter time blues”

[@Sadsapphicc]

I’m EXTREMELY skeptical about light therapy just because I’ve never done it and because it’s hard to believe that just light will benefit you. But it does kind of make sense since we get vitamin D from the sun

[@kaleylynn6565]

I am fairly new to growing plants and this may be a dumb question to some, but how do I create bright, indirect light r low light with grow lights? Where should I put my plants in relation to the light? How bright should the various colors be? I have two really nice grow lights we originally bought to use with our planted aquarium until the plants were moved into a new tank with the same lights, only a different size. Now I have them to use for my plants. They are the Fluval Plant 3.0 and they are 48" long, which is how long my plant rack is. They are full spectrum and I can change the intensity of any color and change the programming to have whatever intensity come on whenever I want. Please explain how to go about giving my plants bright, indirect light as well as low light, with my grow lights. I am having a hard time finding the necessary information anywhere online and I love your channel, so I would rather get my information from you!!!

I made a grow light from a broken tv. They have strips of leds inside that I attatched to the underside of shelves I power them with a 24 volt supply.

Wow that's crazy!! That's so creative I love it. Are all your plants happy under it?

[@davidmowbray6352]

@@TheJungleHaven they seem to like it. The light is blueish white more so than even cool white "normal" leds. The leds in tv's are 1-2 watt range each and there is about 60 watts worth in a 40 inch tv. I keep a look out for tvs on bin day now.

[@bethd8826]

Thanks for this video! I am wondering if grow lights can cause skin damage (alike to the sun)? Also, do regular LED lights benefit plants at all?

[@TheJungleHaven]

To my knowledge unless you're up close enough for a grow light to burn your skin, I don't know of any negative side effects of having them in and around your home. In regards to regular LEDs, I've never personally tried it, but have heard that you can use regular LEDs so long as it provides enough PAR for your plants (I wouldn't have thought it would be as effective though)

[@JayJay-ec1yk]

If your using white led diodes, they emit so little uv that it’s very unlikely to cause any sort of skin issues.

[@denbatt1]

Wow! This was incredibly helpful! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

[@venkatsunil5465]

From what i have seen in the video of yours, i understood that led lights are the best to work with.

Your delivery is very mesmerizing. And the information is top notch...as a brand new plant dad...I appreciate you so much. 😀

[@muCephei_]

I think it was important to emphasize the need to research the light needs of each plant. I saw a video comparing the growth of a flowering plant under a 30w vs 15w bulb. The plant under the 15w grew more luscious leaves while the 30w grew small leaves and at a slower rate. However, the latter produced flowers first. I wonder if this means that plants with less light in general produce more leaves to try to catch more light for growth therefore producing more green foliage... I checked the video again and the plant that grew more foliage seems to have gotten a more focused intense beam...

Hi do you have a video on the MarsHydro light and set up. Good explanation of lights.

[@TheJungleHaven]

Hey David, I don't have a video of the Mars Hydro ones as I don't currently have them set up, however I've got a video of my Mother grow lights (Grow Light Shelf Plant Tour) showing the full set up! That video is on my channel and I uploaded it about a month ago

[@creativecolours8429]

What about plants that need indirect light?

[@edenisok894]

Most plants like more light than you would think. Growlights are fine for those plants too just keep it a little further away from the plant to not burn it

[@Epiphalactic]

The "mars hydro" one you showed, if it's anything near the specs they say, you're gonna burn the shit out of your plants unless you keep them way far back, which will waste the light (and be kinda annoying for situations other than grow tents) and the smaller lights are much better options for houseplants, because you can place them closer to the plant without burning the leaves, which makes it possible to hide the lights a little better.

[@davidmowbray6352]

Do you measure the light at the leaf with a lightmeter? You can download an app on phone.

[@TheJungleHaven]

That's really useful to know, what's the name of the app?

[@davidmowbray6352]

@@TheJungleHaven there are several I can't remember the name of the one I used because I have stand alone light meter anyway. They give same reading as my meter and also give you a red, green, blue balance reading which my meter doesn't do.

Overall take on this video according to my understanding, led lights are not as expensive to use while others are. White lights cover all areas of the spectrum and need to be as close or as far away from said plant to get the right amount of light.

Hi ! Love your videos. I set up a grow cabinet earlier this year and now that it’s summer I’m having issues with temperatures getting up to the 90s F inside the cabinet. I’ve tried better ventilation bringing in cooler air but the humidity drops so fast and defeats the purpose. I assume the issue is the heat coming off the grow lights but they’re Leds so I don’t think that I can find anything that runs cooler. If I split up the light schedule into 2 and turn off mid day and allow everything to cool down then turn back on to complete the necessary hours, do you think that will cause issues? Or do you have a better suggestion?

[@patrickwilson9783]

Mini humidifier controlled by a humidity sensor game changer

[@sharkeyes]

Where have you got your cabinet is it getting full sun throughout the day ? If it’s fully sealed glass then it will get super hot it is a green house after all it’s rare your led lights are going to cause such high temperatures like that unless the electric system itself is producing the heat or it’s already hot from the day probably best to move it that’s if it is getting heavy sun
