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

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

Hello! I am currently working on my AP art exam's portfolio, and my theme is related to plant growth and technology. I want to make sure the piece I make is as accurate as possible to the theory of optimal plant growth and this video is exactly what I needed. You were very informative and thorough with your explanations and I want to thank you for making such a good video that not only plant growers can benefit from but also artists :)

[@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 can see your grow lights are facing down on your dear little dogs eyes. Im told grow lights are unsafe to look into. This makes me worry about my cats as there hanging out in the lounge with my jungle 😅 also do you know if my SAD lamp could help my plants aswell. Im only asking becouse when i purchased my grow lights, i was looking at the coments and chap was saying he thinks they could. He gave a very long and interesting talk on it. Love your chanel so much. Ive been looking after plants for year's but still learning. So thank you. My friend who i hadn't seen in a too long a time said, you're like that lady on KZbin you showed me. Plants everywhere. Ive been repotting and separating plants for two weeks now😅 runing out of space 😂😂😂 the jungle is massive so they say. Plants make me feel so happy, especially in the winter months. As soon as i open my eyes and see my beauty's, im happy. My cats love them too. They think there in the garden 😂 anyway's love your chanel and dogs are adorable ❤

[@ildikojones7073]

What a wealth of information you are! Thank you.

[@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.

[@coreyhall]

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

[@paulyshuz]

I apologize for changing the organic vibe here, but I had a hard time focusing on your tips as I was really taken by that beautiful face of yours! I purchased the second example that you showed and I’m attempting to grow sunflower seeds for our summer, which is obviously your winter. I have never had success with the lights but unfortunately it’s my only option at the moment. I’m hoping your kind help, helps… 😊 Thanks again, you’re the BEST! ❤

From what i have seen in the video of yours, i understood that led lights are the best to work with. I am an architect and am looking forward to understand what kind of grow lights can be used for creepers on a 8ft level in a house? few doubts that i have are : what is the amount of light needed by most of the creeper plants? is installing strip grow lights effective for the plants? please let me know for my understanding to make the client know more about this. ☮peace

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.

[@christopherdrajan4293]

You sound like a News presenter from BBC Tv channel and you are really good 👍

[@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...

[@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.

[@livinglamour]

Do you have any specific source recommendations when researching plants' lighting needs?

Not sure if that made sense… lol. But actually a really good point and something I’m going to start doing! ✌🏻☀️

[@devonrussell8064]

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.

[@dellunn7026]

extremely helpful thankyou for making this vid

[@Layeredworld]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this. Personally I’ve never thought about getting a grow light as I’ve always wanted to keep plants in a natural environment. (I know keeping tropical plants in a U.K. home probably isn’t natural) but you know what I mean. I didn’t like the idea of using electricity on keeping my plants alive. However I’m worried about winter when the light starts to fade and reduce down. I have lots of Calatheas and at the moment they are growing well at the back of my west facing room but I fear come winter their current location will be too dark.

[@sarcasticshoe]

What is a good source for consistent information about a plant’s individual needs?

[@JosJungle]

[@zenobibonsai]

You actually need a combination of blue and red and they must be LED grow lights which are designed to provide Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR) which the plant uses for photosynthesis - regular white LEDs have little effect on a plant’s growth rate

[@morganzoee6920]

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

Its great fun. Its just that in allwaus insecure in how many hours i should give them a day cos you can give to much and then they grow so fast that you wear them out.. and also i am insecure on which part of the day i should give it to them.. they have just show their grow sign.. so then i always lesson the hours from 12 to 6.. and in spring 3 and summer nun.. but i dont know réally what im doing.. just doing my best 😬🤷🙂👋
