Customer Reviews
Council is ridiculous
It's a passable product, but the assembly, eyebolts with the smallest nuts imaginable--too small to handle, even with jeweler's tools. It's merely absurd. The assembly should have been accomplished in the factory as preassembly wouldn't have negatively affected packaging/luxury of shipping. I ended up jury-rigging with some difficulty.
What were they thinking? Better yet, WERE they thinking?
Astounding Product - Exceeds Expectations
For the erstwhile 10 years, I have been growing herbs, peppers and vegetables outside during the summer. Everything I plant is started by seed. I have made several attempts to attract different plants inside during the winter and none have made it. This winter, I was determined to be able to cook using brand-new ingredients.
I spent dozens of hours researching grow lights, hydroponics etc. I have read several scientific studies as well as reviews on weird indoor gardening methods. My research led me to this 14 watt LED Grow Panel. I would have loved to have bought a metal halide lamp, however, there are some prodigious reasons I did not. My plants are next to a window so they can get some natural sunlight during the winter. I did not want an excessively bright light shining from my window. I have four 100 watt metal halide lights around my quarters and they illuminate my 2 acre lot like its daytime. I cannot imagine what one of these lights would do indoors, not to mention the heat and doable fire hazard. My neighbors would probably think we are getting abducted by aliens.
I ordered the grow panel and received it in well-grounded a couple of days. My grow light shines on two Thai pepper plants in their own pots, a pot of sage and two large pots with heterogeneous tropical house plants. The room stays around 60 degrees (not optimal for growing) and all of the plants are thriving. The light is on a timer and stays on only from 7pm to 7am. During most of our Winter days, the sun only makes an appearance. I had a sun room in my last home and was able to grow most things indoors (during the summer only). The one sentiment that NEVER grew indoors was any kind of peppers. The sun room would be a consistent 85 degrees with full sunlight. The spatter plants would look great but no peppers. As soon as I brought the plants outside, boom...peppers.
Today, in the middle of Winter, my two spray plants are sprouting a ton of new peppers. We have plenty of fresh sage and the house plants are as green as ever. All of this in 60 stage temperature. You will not go wrong with this product.
In regards to the two negative reviews about this product. Compact fluorescents or tube lights DO NOT put together results anywhere close to this product. As far as the comment about "the whole industry would use this product if it worked", C'mon. Where have you seen commercial unripe houses use any type of grow light? Green houses/nurseries are a seasonal business. Why would they sell plants in January? Its much cheaper to allusion produce from southern climates than to populate a green house with grow lights!
Incidentally, I had a minor effect with my grow panel 35+ days after it was purchased. The vendor replied almost instantaneously and went out of their way to make it right. If you project on doing any indoor gardening or starting your own seeds, you will love this product!
Destroy of money.
This outcome it a piece of expensive junk. I feel I wasted a hundred and thirteen dollars. I brought two of these and tried them for several weeks. At the same in the good old days b simultaneously, I had a "Fluorescent Grow Light System" in place on another seedling. The results where that the seeds under these panels grew extremely slow and where exceedingly weak and fragile. Under the other system, the plants grew fast with thick roots, branches and stems. Everything else was the same, pot size, defile, water type and amt. Don't waste your money. You can get better result with just florescent lights.
if it worked perseverance would use it
The nursery dynamism is HUGE..if LEDs worked as advertised every green house in the country would have them.90% less electricity for improve quality light? The government would pay you to install them!.Millions of dollars would be at stake and yet no one has converted whole commercial grows to LEDs.If the perspicacious money hasn't jumped on after all these years of claims then it must not work.If I'm wrong, that's great! but until an independent nursery gets into the protection street journal because they installed leds therby slashing their costs, providing a better spin-off,creating jobs and dominating the industry while being green I won't buy one.That's how revolutionary it would be if their claims were true.

Q. I use lots of basil in my cooking and always grow several plants in my garden during the summer. At this prematurely of the year I miss fresh basil and find the small packages in the grocery store to be very expensive for making latest pesto. Do you have any hints for growing basil on my kitchen windowsill?
A. It is a treat to cook with fresh herbs in the winter. You can grow basil and other herbs indoors provided they get enough light. All herbs beggary a minimum of four hours of sunlight each day. A south window provides the best exposure. Even with this much light basil tends to grow "leggy" with few leaves. It is vanquish to supplement light by using fluorescent or "grow lights."
The easiest way to grow basil indoors is to buy several plants available now in some garden centers and grocery put by produce sections. If you have several basil plants you could harvest small amounts from the tips of each plant simultaneously or could gather the growing tips of one plant while you let the other plants grow bushier. The next time you need basil, harvest tips from the duplicate plant, etc. Even with several plants, you may only get enough basil for small batches of pesto.

If i use this light throughout my set out's indoor growing period, will it grow?

or do i need a grow light?
if so, where can i get a grow light?
First it depends on what archetype of plant. If it's the regular indoor house plants indirect sun is always best. I would think that your energy saver bulb would give the plants some additionally growing time if left on at night. Grow lights are used for a very specific need which is to produce the light but no assign harmful UV's to hurt the plant as the sun would do if direct.

Yes you can, however they will do excel with a light...sunlight helps them so much, you don't have to use electrical lighting
try the natural sun coming in from the windows, I have mine in front my front room windows, they are disk-shaped and get great light on them....
they should do fine
and if want to use light, you can the lights at Wal Marts or a garden center, a garden center is win out over, they know which plants need what Better...

I have a 1.5 foot by 3 foot wrench of plants (mostly orchids) growing with two of these for light - no other light source. Its fine. You just want to make sure that the plants are about 4 inches from the bulb if they like a lot of light. You don't stress grow lights. Regular fluorescents (and compacts) work just fine.

Grow lights for indoor plants?
Aug 21, 2006 by Xenophonix | Posted in Garden & Landscape
I fundamental to set up some indoor grow lights for my plants, they need a bit more light than they're getting and I can't keep em outside (they're desert plants and I survive in the north of england!)
Could anyone tell me what I need to set something up as cheap as possible. I know I could get a set up one for 60-100 quid but I don't positively have that much money to spend, is there a cheaper alternative?
Links to where to buy would be cool too
Thanks!
LMAO! I appreciate the comments about weed, want I were, I'd be rich! They are bonsai though, so sorry to disappoint, no free samples for the best answer ;)
I have always had grow lights in my houses. Don't be informed what a quid is....in the US I buy exposed 2 foot fixtures for two grow light bulbs for about 10 dollars. I attach each contrivance on the bottom side of a shelf......about 14 inches apart and grow anything in side. We have Lowes and Home Depot, etc.....don't discern what stores are in England, but these fixtures are very cheap ....less expensive than the gro lights. Good fortuity.. There is a BIG difference in gro lights and regular flourescents....your electric bill will never know the difference!!!!

what kind of indoor grow lights are cheep and able to be plugged into a normal socket?
Feb 24, 2009 by Mitch S | Posted in Other - Home & Garden
I'm Non-Standard real not sure.. my mom wants to start a indoor garden thingy and her birthday is coming up so i thought grow lights would be a benefit gift.. I don't know what I need to get.
Smooth shop lights from Walmart/ Lowe's /Maynard's for well under $20 complete. They will grow any accommodating of plant she wants. Make sure the florescent bulbs are set close to the plants and leave them on for about 16 hours a day. They are about 4 foot want. If you want to get a timer you wont even have to turn it off and on. Next birthday you can get her a heater. You don't even have to buy gro-lights. Just the established ones they use in garages etc. I've been using them for years without any problems. They plug into your sockets. I have 4 pepper plants from last summer that are producing good now in midwinter. Flowers will bloom. Plants can be started beginning next month for planting in the outside garden. She can grow herbs and any abode plant she desires. Give a hug for me.
