Reddit mentions of Sandalwood LED Plant Grow Light for Hydroponic Garden and Greenhouse, 12W, E27 Socket, 3 Bands

Here's what I posted previously, hopefully this helps! Once I situated them, I've pretty much ignored them except for watering.

I'm using Hoffman Horticultural Perlite, without the miracle grow: found here and Better-Gro Premium Grade Orchid Moss: found here for my mixture. I got them local, but found the links to the specific items on Amazon. Neither has any plant food additives and are nutrientless for the VFT. This is my second time having some. I let the moss soak in distilled water before I mixed portions in a bowl until I felt there was enough perlite in it. They sit in a decorative glass jar inside a medium size open top terrarium next to a window. However, because my other plants weren't doing well at the window, I bought and installed this LED Plant Grow Light for Hydroponic Gardening: found here, but from what I understand I could also use my flex strip LED lights on blue and violet to give my VFT the right amount of light.

I have the light scheduled to turn on at 8 am, shut off at 6 pm through my Alexa devices.

Tips: I've found they grow better in a container that is deeper than it wide. Mine are watered gently from the top along the edges with distilled water, just enough to keep the moss wet. Since May the dead moss apparently has new growth from seeds or whatnot in the mix, so those are growing in there with the VFT too. :)

They both sit on the same windowsill, except the one on the left also gets about 10 hours of supplemental lighting during the day under this grow light. hope that helps!

It depends on how many plants you have. I️ have roughly ten small houseplants clustered in a 4X4 foot area and use these lights and as a broke biochemistry student who studies plants. I know that plants actually use a very limited spectrum (that these lights supply) i have more growth from two of these lights than i had in my actual window sill. I️ bought mine for $8 a piece, and I’m not sure why they’ve had such a huge price jump. Mount them up high, as they emit more of a beam than a dispersed light.

They are made in the same factory as the “Taotronics 12W LED grow light” (look it up on amazon too) and that produce has over 1000 reviews and 5 stars. I’ve used them for about a month now and i am truly blown away by how much my plants are GROWING and not just staying alive.

I have three prayer plants, a rattlesnake calathea, a jade plant, an alocasia elephant ear, and others under this light and I’m growing new leaves literally once every few days. I just wanted to keep them alive, and i got something better.

I suggest a grow light bulb in a cute lamp pointed at a few plants. That would make it feel way less sterile.

Of course! I bought this bulb. I like it a lot, but I want to eventually upgrade my setup haha

[I have had success with these so far. I am no expert but I can't argue results.](

You really should run a tiny second setup at your place too. It opens up a world of possibilities and would instantly add months of extra flowering time each year. I use a small (~12" W by ~20" H) round plastic garbage can with a lid as quarantine when I bring new clones home. You'd use it in one of two ways, both of which are different than than what I'm doing with it. It'd totally be a game changer though. Cut a hole in the top of the garbage can lid and use a light along these lines https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TT3EKD2/ref=sxbs_sxwds-stvp_2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=3171424582&pd_rd_wg=128g8&pf_rd_r=997NGACEFB6JT6KA6X48&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-bottom-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B00TT3EKD2&pd_rd_w=QscmD&pf_rd_i=led+grow+e26+12&pd_rd_r=H8D1VFCVZGXG1K20XZ00&ie=UTF8&qid=1504341333&sr=2 . Cut a smallish hole a few inches above the base of the can so that cool fresh air will be pulled in while the warmer stale air rises away. You'd have to look around to pick out the best light for your container, but something on the smaller side is good. They put out less heat so you could possibly use it in closed closet depending on temps while it's on. Also, if plants get way too much light in veg they grow slowly and don't have enough internode spacing for training. You'll probably want to make sure that you have your cloning technique dialed in before trying this, as you only get one shot to keep things on schedule. At first you could use the bucket to determine the sex of your seedlings. Grow the seedlings up a little larger than you normally would before FIM'ing them. When you top the young plant take enough of the top to use for a clone. Attempt to root the clone under 12/12 right away in the bucket. it might root and show sex, it might show sex and die, or I've had them just die before showing sex. While you're waiting on the flowering clones to show sex start shaping your newly topped plants in veg. We're hoping for the vegging plant to be ready or nearly ready to flower when the clones show sex. If the clone doesn't pull through you're really only a few days behind if you hadn't tried to flower a clone and FIM'd the plant earlier.

Look into these lights.

One of these, I’m pretty happy with it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TT3EKD2?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I also have a bunch of these lighting up a shelf, I like them because they’re pretty compact but they cast light over a pretty broad angle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07428QCCZ?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I have three of these lighting another shelf, but I wouldn’t recommend: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GDT048Y?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Sure thing, I had been hunting around online. When I logged into amazon they had this one on my homescreen. I ordered it, thinking it was the whole assembly - it wasn't, just the bulb. I went to walmart and got a lamp to put it in.
