Wife starts the garden inside and I made an 8 bulb arched crank of fluorescent grow bulbs several years ago. It works ok for starter plants, but when pulling in the potted plants for the winter, they act light starved growing all spindly n stuff. Her birthday coming up, was thinking of redoing her grow space.
Was looking around for a high power light, there's a bunch of 1k-1.5 lights on amazon and I cant tell the difference between them why there's a $100 spread. She's got a sizable succulent collection that lives indoors half the year. But they're visibly stressed, so I'd like to get a new LED grow light. Back in my bachelor days I had a garden with a single 1kw hot bulb and it worked well. But it ate a lot of electricity. Wanting a modern replacement.
I love indoor growing...
If you wanna go high pressure sodium, I have a couple of these that I like:
amazon.com/HydroplanetTM-Fixture-Complete-System-Hydroplanet/dp/B01KMW7RYM
Also a couple of 4 ft. 4 bulb t-5's...
My peppers do well under the t-5's but tomatoes have always struggled so I have to supplement with outdoor time during the day...
Thinking about upgrading to the new led grow lights... reviews thus far are fairly positive... Amazon has tons, but the way the sellers calculate wattage is bs... If you Google it you can figure out what the real output on them is...
