To capture even more light you can hang mylar space blankets around the sides. They are reflective, strong, and you can get them for around $1 a piece. I use two or three layers. I used those Walmart shop lights and mylar blankets on a wooden frame to make a very cheap grow tent to overwinter tender plants in my garage.

I also combine a 3000k and 6500k light for growing flowering plants, 5000k is great for growing greens, and 6500k is great for starting seedlings. With out door flood lights, you can make a 400 watt 'grow light' for around $40 with both sufficient red and blue. But you DO need to shop smart.

If I decide to grow anything next year, I can only grow indoors. I'm already at my limit for potted plants outdoors. I have not seen grow lights; but, have seen shop lights. I wouldn't want to use the lights just for seed starting. I would want to use the lights for growing completely indoors. Like peppers, tomatoes, and other things. Is there anything that I should not try to grow indoors?

[@juliescott9020]

Last year I overwintered a tomato hybrid with grow lights and a plastic dry cleaning bag. My goal was just to keep them alive until spring but they did better and actually had some blooms on them by Feb. I bet if you use the mylar reflective sheet and lights on for 16 hrs you may get some results. Also, you need a fan or to shake the blooming plants to self pollinate. Its worth a try. Good luck.

I have a whole series on it for 2020 if you want to watch it. But stay about 1-2 inches if you are around 3000 lumens for first 4 weeks or so. As time goes forward you can raise lets a couple inches and leave them on less. Not an exact science. Staying at 2 inches the whole time works.

I went to all the trouble of buying LED grow light strips on Amazon. Top shelf had four strips and was sufficent, but I only used three for the other two shelves. Ironically, I only got them because the shop lights I got didn't fit my wire shelf. Not sure what to do with them, trying to find info to compare them is difficult, but I believe I can use them for an indoor greenhouse.

Ok 5 yr gardener here. This year I decided to start veggies from seed, 85% of what I sowed 2 weeks ago is germinated. I bought a 4 4ft bulb fixture with led bulbs and have NOT turned them off since I sowed the seeds. I see you recommend 12- 16 hrs of light, so my question is can I ween my vegies off of light? should I do a little at a time? say 6hrs for a few days them 10 then 16hrs over a few weeks? also I have not fertilizer yet, and wonder if the adjustment in light time and fertilizer would effect them? Thanks and great videos!

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN thank you! Unrelated: I’m in zone 7A. First year with seed starting system, I’ve been buying seedlings before. I used a hybrid approach of starting seeds in Aerogarden and some with seed start mix in mini green house as well as trying peat pods. I did very well with must of seed starts but I started my peppers and tomatoes waayyy later than I should’ve. I have dozens of seedlings, most with maybe one true leaf, several with 2 true leaves and approx 2-3” tall, not exactly the size I’d like to have them on May 17. I would’ve like to get seedlings several inches tall in the ground by now, but instead I have half my seedlings in a small greenhouse and the other half under grow lights indoors (Aerogarden lights with seed tray w/ cells on top w/ soil), I’m hoping I didn’t mess up a good tomato and pepper harvest this year as I’m still weeks away from getting them in the ground.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN thanks, I thought that, and that's all I want it for is early/pre-season seedling growing so if it'll do for that it looks like it'll save a lot. I guess you lose out on growing more mature plants or flowers and the custom setup is all. Works out at over a fifth the price here for me! So thanks, great tip.

[@RBPL]

Can this light fixture be setup in garage OR it has to be inside the home?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

A garage works. Heat can be an issue.

Gary, do you think we need a grow light station in South Texas zone 9a? Not being facetious just asking your opinion.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

So probably not but they can be used indoors when it is too hot actually, where the sun just bakes the seed starts. But I would try and do it all outside. Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com

Hello! I bought the 4ft 5000 lumen /5000 K Walmart lights and have a wire shelfing unit. Do I need to use 1 or 2 lights per shelf? How much distance from the plants? How many 1020 trays will fit under the lights (not sure if I should put 2 long-way or 3 perpendicular to the light)? Thank you!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I have full videos on that on my channel. I recommend 2 as you can get 4 flats under them. Start 2-4 inches above flats and adjust.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I use the most basic timers I can find. I would just but the cheap timer that you see that isn't digital. You just push in the pins and it spins. I use timer for all stages of growth.

Boss man, new at this all. What kind of electricity costs on average with or without the these lights? Trying to determine if I can budget for this monthly cost

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Super cheap. Best way to do it is look up wattage calculator on line. Check the wattage on the light you want and you will see LEDs are cheap. Couple bucks a month cheap.

They both work. My methods are just for transplants. More lumens allows you to keep a greater distance between plant leaf and light. Get your Fall Garden Seeds & Spring Seed Starting Supplies at... Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com
