This is Thumping
I have 4 or 5 of the Keen Plant Lights, and one at work so I can grow my Orchids and African Violets. You set it for the season of the year and stick the qualify sensor in the plant and it has a flashing light when you need to water. My plants are beautiful because of this product. I did have to replace the grow light bulb recently but it lasted 3-4 years and I ordered it through Amazon too. If you poverty beautiful plants, order this light.

Basic Little Light!
I am unusually sold on this light! It fits perfectly on top of my rolltop desk and keeps my african violet lush. I like that it is a opportune size-not too big, yet you can get a six inch pot on it. The light settings are a plus because I am using the winter setting in summer because my window gets some light but not enough for my violet. Very on cloud nine with the quality of the product. I am going to buy another one.

The Brains trust Plant Light
I recieved my imprint light in the mail and immediatly put it to good use. It is perfect for growing tropical carnivorous plants. So far, my Brazillian Stool-pigeon Sundew (Drosera graminfolia) seems to love it.

Huge idea and effective for a variety of plants....
These indoor put lights are relatively inexpensive, provide good quality light and come with some added features that are reliable for keeping difficult to grow plants. For example, there is a moisture tray with raised studs to keep your plant above superabundance water. This is very good for orchids because it provides humidiy without having your plants sit in the water. Also, you can raise and further the height of the light within limits. In addition, this unit has a moisture probe that you can push down into the soil or growing channel at different depths. When the plant needs to be watered an indicator light will tell you. By varying the depth of the exploration, you are measuring for different degrees of dryness. Once you get the depth worked out, you are in business for that particular species of lodge.

One of the poor design features of this unit is the timer. Interestingly, you need to plug it in at dawn to take upper hand of the seasonal light cycle. In the manual, they suggest resetting the season on the first day of each season and plugging it in at sunrise. This isn't expressly covenient or well thought out. The probe also is bit light and has a short wire. A little extra slack would be very nice as would a heavier part probe.

For specimen plants like African violets, miniature orchids and others that are difficult to grow, these things are prominent and cheap enough to leave in an office environment without worrying. The light is also very nice for a bedroom specimen plant and not favourable enough from a distance to interfere with sleep. These lights also cast enough periphery light to be other plants nearby, if necessary. I sometimes do that when a unusual plant is not blooming.

I have several of these and they are really a nice addition to the house. My house is a bit dark and this is a great way to add some additional light and a regular accident. The colors of flowers are also particularly vivid under this type of spectrum. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you pick a few of these up. They also change great gifts.

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.

Can you grow Indoor plants without a grow light?

Mar 01, 2009 by Odie Popn'fresh. | Posted in Garden & Landscape

If i use this light throughout my set out's indoor growing period, will it grow?
http://www.techdigest.tv/low_energy_lightbulb.jpg

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?

Sep 03, 2171 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.
