I made the mistake to search on youtube for some houseplant related issues and the mighty algorithm decided to bombard me with plant related content, which I submissively watched.
So in the last days I have spend some time repotting my plants with selfmade substrate, bought some new plants and pots.
But of course I have no idea if they are any good. The third link has the most potential, but I am missing some blue light there?
The problem is, when you search for “grow light” online, you get all the junkies with their 240W modules which I don’t need nor want to have. I need some small modules, 5-20W, 12V or 24V with resistors so I can dim them with PWM easily. I don’t want to expand my electricity bill more than necessary…
Does any of you have some recommendations on that?
I live in Switzerland, so links to Amazon US are of no use
I’ll be interested in seeing the reccomendations, feels Iike this winter has been particularly gloomy in the UK and I was looking for a lighting solution for houseplants and also to get some seeds germinated early for planting out in the garden.
These are lm301b, even higher efficacy, in the range of 190-200lm/w, depending how hard you drive them. Depending of what kind of plants you are growing you might want additional red spectrum for flowering plants.
That’s a cool looking pendant. Does it support UV and near IR? My best growlights were some square panels with UV and IR, resulting in a purplish glow, but damn if the pepper plants weren’t happy.
@L4M4 if I could make a recommendation, use a fan on low setting to simulate a light breeze, it’ll help the stalks/trunks grow a little stronger, and the root system will get deeper/broader. Did you happen to unbundle the roots when transplanting?
