grow light

I’ve had this cool “growhouse” lighted herb garden for a while…but I killed all the herbs I was growing. I’ve decided to repurpose it for growing cuttings from my Ficus benajmina, which is my only tropical tree. The cuttings are in perlite and chopped sphagnum, and I plan to mist a few times a...

Hello, I’ve decided to buy a ts1000 and I’m planning to build a little 60x60cm (24x24”) box with mylar, pc fans and a humidifier alongside the grow light. Prerequisite: Sweden, usda zone 7a (dark and cold October-mars), no access to garage or other area which is colder than 22c+ except for...

Ok, so this will be my first winter with my bonsais. I live in Sweden 7a zone, it gets cold and dark here. I’ve been planning to build two shelves on a wall with two Mars hydro sp150 (20000lumen/each!) grow lights. The trees I have are; a carmona, zelkova, sageretia and portulacaria afra...

I used Rootmaker’s air-pruning propagation system for the first time this winter and wanted to offer my observations/notes in case they may be of help to others. Overall, I was quite pleased with the root branching exhibited for most seedlings and found the trays worth the cost vs. non-air...

So, I thought that my patio wasn't getting enough light so I decided to go for a little project. I have put my babies underneath a grow lights 6xBulbs T5 HO 6500K the distance from the top of the left maple is 6 inch and I have run a little test getting 4820 Lumens on top of the tree and 3000...

So I’m wanting to get something better than what I have right now, which is a one grow bulb that goes in a normal lamp and some cheap LED grow lights I got on amazon for 20 bucks. I saw this today at Walmart and they are 4’LED lights. Says it’s sunshune spectrum but I was wondering if this...

I purchased a 12 year old Fukien tea bonsai a few days ago. I was doing so well with my Jade "afra" that I thought I'd take on another bonsai. I did not do my research before going to a local bonsai distributor, just sort of made an impulsive decision to swing by and check out their stock. I...
