LED Grow lights perfect for indoor gardens. DIY These LED grow lights are super low power and uses Red and Blue super bright LEDs. They are perfect for the indoor garden or when there is a cold snap to save your plants. This DIY project I will be updating from time to time. I would love to hear your thoughts on this..

happy new year!
lol more like your growing pot i would
Way to go indeed! thnx a bunch! been looking into simular stuff. “nv growlight” u say? i can see the light is very different then regular white leds. they sell growleds over here with only red and blue leds (they say its best). potgrowers say they aint good, and they re from 200$. so im gonna get a string of red and a blue one, some white shiny pvc. so i get the same for like 40$. checkout STEVIA and PAWPAW (poormansbanana) my next projects. Best wishes!
wow was about to think you gave up on the whole youtube thing specially after those long videos you put up at Christmas time
9-13 watts? Fantastic if it works!
That’s incredible! I want a dozen right now.
dont forget your plants also need some darkness, use a timer
nice avocado tree!
Great !
Thank you for tips.
Great !
Thank you for tips.
i think they’re leaves…not feathers

umb!
You might want to lower that light a little… Not sure if you know what the color temp of the light is, but if it’s 2500K or lower you’ll need to have the light no further than a foot from the top of the plants. Some sort of reflective enclosure would definitely help too.
Take Care,

that is awesome. I so want to get a few of the lights myself. I wonder if they can be made with red and blue led’s? anyways. awesome vid. I have started growing my own plants. I started with watermelon begonia just to learn with. doing good. now going to start on veggies. thanks for the vid.

its great to see you back with another interesting and useful video.
you can also grow marijuana
I didn’t know you could grow plants with LEDs.
Very nice Pete! I recently turned the small room under my stairs into a grow room. Ive been using Flourescents. (pretty big ones) I am doing VERY well with growing Greens and herbs. I am also starting some Hopps vines and look forward to starting all my garden vegetables indoors. Keep us posted on how well these LEDS work!
Also Pete, instead of mirrors, move it into a corner and simply staple some aluminum foil to the walls. Very cheap and effective.
There’s a lot of good waste heat over in that corner by the heater, great for seeds. Thats where i do my germination.
I only have mild winters and my fig drops every leaf and goes almost completely dormant
Thanks for the info. I have just ordered two panels here in the UK. Not as cheap as yours, £70 for two (about US$100), but all electronics are more expensive here!
i had to squint
be careful with those grow lights, you might get illegally raided and shot in the face like that elderly lady they thought was growing marijuana but obviously wasn’t.
I’ve seen those leds for plants but haven’t used them before. I’ve been using just regular shop lights with two 40w florescent light tubes! They actually do a great job and I also bought adjustable metal shelving and fixed the shop lights to them and have a cheap plant stand! You usually have to burn the florescent lights for 12 to 14 hrs for maxiumum grow power though! Also you might have to move the light closer to the plants since it’s artifical light. Keep us informed!
