How To Build A Grow Light Stand Using ONE Piece Of Pipe

[@ButchWilliams-zl2pi]

Very nice my friend. I'm that 73 year old cancer survivor up here in Mass. I had an awesome season last year thanks to your advice. This might be me latest project. Can't wait to get started. Look forward to your posts.

[@patriciamiller1916]

73 here too! Thank God your cancer is gone!

[@patriciamiller1916]

Thank you! I have no way or space to start seeds this looks very doable!! I will clean up all my trays and give this a shot!!

Thanks. I’ve had it since 2013. That generation was so well-made.

[@brichter4669]

You did a great job of creating a grow light stand. For those people who aren't as flexible to lower themselves to the floor, they could make the stand taller and put a small table under the stand for easy access to the seedlings. I looked up your grow light on Amazon. Even though it's full spectrum, lumens aren't listed and it's only 2900K, which isn't daylight spectrum. The Kelvin rating should be in the 5500-6500 range to mimic full daylight brightness. Lumens should be a minimum of 5000. Last year, I setup a grow station for the first time in my house. I bought LED shop lights that are 5500 lumens with a 6000K daylight rating. Luckily, I found a wire metal shelving unit on sale at Sam's Club for only $35. I put 2 lights per shelf, used only 2 of the 4 shelves. Used s-hooks and chains to lower and raise the lights, Very easy to do. My seedlings grew very well. A couple of my tomato plants even formed fruit before I transplanted them. I was thrilled with the growing success of my plants using the shop lights. Hope you have successful growth with your lights.

[@sodsqad8089]

I've been starting seeds in my shop for years in the first part of January. I live in Central California where our winter months get very cold and fog. I use heat mats with no light until the second day the seeds pop. I then let them breathe uncovered with a light for the next 7 days or so. 12 hours on, 12 hours off with heat mat still on. I then use my Palua bio green heat fan 24/7 for about a month. I learned from trial and error to never use potting soil for seedlings(loaded with gnat eggs), etc. I use fresh airtight bags of Jiffy seed starter and always have success. Keep up the great content!

[@lalithaganesan3372]

You always come to my rescue!! I am trying to keep my kumquat inside. Here there is a video in your channel!! You are really great👏👏👏

[@ianwilliams7740]

Love it.. probably over-kill on the thickness of the PVC for what you're using it for, but still a great solution. You could maybe fill the bottom rungs with sand or similar for added stability.

[@leendaroberto]

What a great idea. I like how you can raise and lower the lights. Nice that it is not expensive to make and I think anyone could assemble this grow light stand. Thank you for another great useful video. Love the matching socks 🧦

[@TheMillennialGardener]

It’s very basic and affordable. It’s a great beginner’s setup, or for someone who only needs to start 150-200 seedlings at a time. If you need to start 500-1000+, you may want to invest in one of those shelving unit builds, but I do not have the space for that. Way too big and bulky. What’s nice about this is it’ll break down into a small box for storage once it’s spring.

[@MichaelRei99]

If I didn’t know any better I might think you are an engineer!!😂 Great job! And way to be creative on the cheap! Poor Dale ! He has a bad case of having owners who love him!!❤

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Glad you enjoyed it! Dale adjusted to the socks and eventually appreciated them. It has been the coldest winter I’ve ever felt in the 7 winters I’ve spent here.

[@pibblesnbits]

@@TheMillennialGardener What kind of engineering do you do?

[@karenburrell5188]

Wow that is a great tutorial I think even I can build one. Thank you

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I’m not a good builder by any means. If I can do it, almost anyone can. This is extra easy.

[@baneverything5580]

I improvised. I`m a musician/singer so I have microphone stands, and I have a telescope, binocular, and camera tripods, plus an 8 feet tall lamp stand that came with my camper. So I use bulbs in clip on lamp things. I have various strength LED ones to grow food inside and I use supplemental lights on my hydro bucket tomatoes/peppers/cucumbers/cabbage etc under the edge of my steel camper carport style roof to keep direct rain off them. I may try a fig this way or in a container but with 16 hours of light per day to see what happens.

[@tradergalsal6092]

Thank you for this video. I have received my light and heat mats....went to the Home Depot and got my PVC pipe and am ready to go! Your instructions were so helpful.

[@watsonrk1]

Was just about to put up some lights! They make a pvc cutter, looks like pliers with a blade on each side, and they ratchet. Squeeze the thing like 3 times and cut the piece, cut the whole pipe in under 2 minutes.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

It's that time of year!

[@bon3y4rd]

I have that cutter tool. Very easy to use.

[@MichaelRei99]

How much do they cost?

[@watsonrk1]

Thank you, I just made one! You are creative and an excellent communicator.

[@dvssayer5621]

This was genius! Im copying you! I got those flashing with some "china" grow lights and they wouldn't stay on. So I threw them out! I bought a 5 shelf grow system with 5 lights and 5 heat mats. We put it together yesterday, minus the flashing. I cant wait to do this way also!!! Thanks!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

It certainly was easy. This stand can be built in 20 mins.

[@joealta3450]

Also @themillennialgardener - I use very similar lights in my three-tier hydro system. above each grow section... zip tie the light tubes to a piece of 1/2" rigid foam insulation so I can get four led tubes combined. Also I spray glue mylar to the rigid foam to get extra reflection.

[@stmcgarret]

Funny - I'm looking into hydroponics and a DIY grow light stand, and who pops up first in the list is TMG. Pretty cool. You do it all! Good on ya bro.

[@sandrajohnston9745]

This is great! So easy and inexpensive, and it will fit on my work table top so I don't have to bend over. Now if you would be so kind as to instruct us on the use of lights for growing our seedlings, like when to start the lights, how long to use them each day, how to quit using them without setting our plants back. Great video! Don't blame Dale for not liking his socks. Dogs aren't made for wearing footwear!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

The lights should be set about 3 inches above the seedlings. You’ll need to gradually raise them as the seedlings grow. You may have to raise them slightly each day. I have my lights on a programmable timer. I linked to the WiFi timer in the video description. I have it set to come on at 7AM and turn off at 9PM. Lights are not as intense as the sun, so you need to go longer on the time.

[@charlenemcdaniel1941]

Wow! Thank you. This is something I can build. Also I'm getting ready to build my high tunnel just like your video. I'm new to your channel and really appreciate the details you provide. Looking forward to going back to your older videos to learn more I live in S.E. Louisiana and also get very hot and usually lots of rain. Thanks and God bless

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Thank you! I a, *not* a good builder by any means, so all the things I put together are really basic and simple. If I can do it, almost anyone can. In your climate, shade cloth will make an enormous difference. I hope you use my shade cloth advice. You'll see dramatic increases in productivity.

[@PoliteChihuahua]

yes, adding the fan will help mimic wind strength. also, adding a timer will help mimic their sleep mode after a few weeks of emergence in 24hr light. very light liquid fert too.

[@bandito85fx]

So would putting the lights up higher, cause the seeds to grow taller with weaker stems vs keep the lights lower for shorter and stronger stems? Air circulation is a good thing.

[@nancyesque]

If you can’t fit a 10’ pipe in your hatchback Lowe’s has 5’ lengths You can cut 4’, 6”, 6” Then on number two cut 2’, 2’, 6”, 6” I don’t want to seem like I’m saying something everyone knows. That’s the kind of thing that would make me need to draw pictures while I’m standing in the aisle at Lowe’s And PVC cutters are worth it!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

You can simply cut the pipe at 4ft. Then, the 4ft piece and 6 ft piece will fit easily in any vehicle. I used to lay the pipe down along the passenger's size foot area and wedge it in between the passenger's seat and the door. It'll fit right in there.

[@Gardeningchristine]

If you don’t want to raise and lower the lights you can use boxes or books to lift up the seedlings, and if you have different height plants.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I really recommend the adjustable rope hangers. They’re really inexpensive. They’re only about $2 a piece, so there’s no reason to have to cobble something together. It’ll make your life easy

[@Gardeningchristine]

@@TheMillennialGardener Absolutely, but what I’m saying is if you only have one set of grow lights and you start tomatoes now, then in a month I start some lettuce I’d want the lettuce closer to the light, so I’d put them on a book or two to get them closer to the light and the taller tomatoes could stay on the shelf.

[@christophergetchell6490]

When I clicked on the link for that grow light, I was shocked at how cheap is was! I might get one and if it works well, I'll be happy to get a season or two out of it! Dale looks almost like Ralphie in a Christmas Story when his mother makes him try on the pink bunny costume!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

It seems to be a pretty good value. It definitely isn’t top of the line, but it did what it was supposed to do. My first round of seedlings germinated fine and are now out in my sunroom. We’re having a cold winter, and Dale really prefers to be wearing clothes. His short fur does almost nothing to keep him warm.

[@ericnesheim8541]

Another excellent video. After purchasing the lights I should have watched your video again before starting to assemble the light fixture. I missed the most important part of your instructions, throwing the instructions away.

[@dellamonroe8814]

[@TheMillennialGardener]

If you do, I suggest checking out my video from last spring: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXfQo6KFfpKfaqMsi=1H60tYHu12lEKerb Also, I strongly recommend drip irrigation. Containers need a lot more water.

You want to be only a few inches away. You have to check every day and raise the lights as they grow. Stay around 3 inches away, roughly.

Depends on the lights. mine need to be 18 inches away.

@@TheMillennialGardener Grazie.

[@charlesyork4461]

looks good but i would like to ask a question about your high tunnel build /i though you said it was for sun shade and rain control but i only saw shade cloth ? will it stop rain or just soften it?

[@TheMillennialGardener]

It's for using a shade cloth. The shade cloth is adequate for blocking light rain. It is not meant to be used for plastic. Plastic catches way too much wind, and it isn't possible to secure greenhouse plastic on such a tunnel structure. It works with shade cloth, because shade cloth lets wind through thanks to the mesh design, so the amount of wind stress is a small fraction of greenhouse plastic. If you need greenhouse plastic, you will have to build a real high tunnel made of steel that is designed to take extreme wind stress.

[@jedpusczykowski4955]

Good Lord that is bright! Have you seen the smaller LED grow lights at LOWES for $20?

[@TCt0k3n]

Great for small lights, not so much if you're trying to hang a real light at 7ft.

[@Butterfly-y2l]

Are you using the oscillating fan because the lights are too hot for the plants. I did hear you say build up strength in the stem but I also saw someone’s remark on Amazon that the lights are hot

[@TheMillennialGardener]

No. The oscillating fan, on low for just a few hours a day, simulates a light breeze and causes the seedlings to react by thickening up to resist wind. It's one of the secrets to get stockier, stronger seedlings. These are LED lights, so they give off basically no warmth.

[@jenjoy4353]

I think a higher kelvin number is needed for indoor growing. I believe at least 5,000k are needed.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Needed? No. These are specifically designed for growing. Everything germinated and grew fine, and my first round of seedlings were moved into my sunroom and are plenty happy. There is a lot of debate out there what's best if you're going to build your own set with shop lights, but these are specifically designed for growing seedlings while not harming your eyes with "ugly" light.

[@lindysmallwood2039]

I needed this video. Thank you! What color light did you buy? I’m guessing white. Blessings ❤️🌺

[@TheMillennialGardener]

The warm white color. The link should default to warm white.

[@shawntelrichard2041]

I looked at the light on Amazon . Can you PLEASE explain the difference with the light colors and if it matter what the different colors are for. I wanna get my seeds going but would like to understand the difference so to get the right thing

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I prefer the full spectrum lights. Plants only need red light and violet light to grow, but it is painful on the eyes. Full spectrum gives them more than they need but makes it pleasing to your eyes. The warm white is the best for human eye comfort, so that’s what I bought and it works fine.

[@woodenjoe]

Theres mutliple Kelvin options on the light you linked. Whats best to be used? I was going to get one of the Barrina 6x pack of 4' lights so that way I could have mutliple sheleves lit for my seedlings, but I'm so confused by how many factors everyone mentions. How do you know what is best for your buck?

[@TheMillennialGardener]

The one I used is Warm White, which is where the direct link defaults to. I use warm white, because it is easy on the eyes. I do not want some antiseptic high-K light, or even worse, a red-violet light, in my office. The warm white worked just great for my first round of seedlings. If you have some basement grow-lamp setup where you'll rarely be, you can use a higher-K light, but if you're going to expose your eyes to it regularly, they're rough. I can't have that type of light in a place I'm located hours a day.

[@diananazaroff5266]

You already have tomato seeds started? Shoot! I'm behind... I'm in Georgia (8a) and I'm never sure when I should start my seeds. I started my onions too soon, I think (early Dec), cause they're all up and about 4" tall or so already. Not sure when to plant (I think March 1), but that's still a month and a half away. I have broccoli outside that's from the fall and so far they've survived (in a sunny but protected spot). What else have you got started? Oh, BTW, if people are looking for 'regular fluorescent' lights to use as grow lights, I use lights that are 6500 Kelvin, 1600 lumens (daylight bulbs). Amazon has the screw in types and HD has the shop fixture types.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

The tomatoes I started are experimental. They will be transplanted out in February under cover just to see what happens. I don't start my *actual* tomatoes for spring until the first week of February with a goal to transplant them out either last week of March or first week of April, weather dependent. I would personally recommend avoiding fluorescent lights because of the heat they give off, the energy costs, the lack of longevity and the unattractive light they produce, but that's my opinion.

[@debbiewittig7478]

Can you put a link in for the grow light you are using also I USED CHRISTMAS LIGHTS C7'S AND a heat mat to cure my sweet potatoes and I grew some slips on the sweet potatoes for growing season.

They are linked in the video description.

[@wildandliving]

When I did this I used a metal shelf from Amazon got 4 rows for plants put fans and lights on each roll it was cheaper then the pipe in my area. That pipe in some areas is really expensive

[@TheMillennialGardener]

The problem with the shelves is the room they take up. You need to dedicate a large space, and then what do you do with the shelving once you're done starting seedlings? Do you go through the process of taking it all apart to store it somewhere, then you have to put it back together again next season? Or do you just leave it up and stare at the ugly shelf all year? That's what I'm trying to avoid. This will break down in 60 seconds and I'll be able to tuck it away in a small box, then re-assemble in 2 minutes next season. I refuse to use a shelving unit, because my house is small and we don't have basements here due to the water table.

[@alysiaritschel]

The grow light are out of stock. Do you recommend any others that aren’t a fortune? Grow lights are so confusing to me and I just need a good one that has had results.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Unfortunately, I don't think the seller has repleted its stock for the new year. These two are similar, depending on how many you need: amzn.to/409gdqQ - these are 60W fixtures. amzn.to/40nOGmD - these are multi-packs of 42W fixtures. Ultimately, they're all LED grow lights, so they should be fungible within the same width and wattage. Obviously, the 60W fixtures will be a little more powerful than the 42W fixtures, so go with whatever fits your needs and budget best. The reviews are solid, so I wouldn't hesitate to go with either depending on what you need. Please note the links I provided you are Amazon affiliate links, so if you use them, Amazon would provide me a commission at no cost to you.

Wal Mart has some Hyper tough 4' 5500 lumen instead of the 4500 lumen for $17.88, that's less than half the price of Amazon.

That’s just for a light tube. Then you need to buy a fixture, chains, etc. Also, are those fluorescent bulbs? I refuse to use those. They must be LED. I priced it out every way possible and building a setup with shop lights is far more expensive than this simple kit.

no that's the fixture and all, Hyper Tough 5500 Lumen 4ft Linkable LED Shop Light $17.88, You might want to take the cover off so the lights will be their brightest they can be, buy one and check it out and compare it, you can take it back if you don't like it. you might check your local store it might be different all Walmarts are not created equally , they apparently don't sell what I got, I got some 5000 lumen LED lights for about $20 each a few years ago.

No that is for the complete thing 5500 lumen LED linkable fixtures not just a bulb.@@TheMillennialGardener
