Definitely the best video on grow lights

[MichaelDeNicola]

I dig this guy's whole vibe, it's giving informative and friendly 👏

[Thepourdeuxchanson]

Right, that's it. All my questions were answered here, no need for me to look anywhere else. Thank you for this thorough presentation.

[leelee]

This is seriously the most thorough and practical video yet. THANK YOU!! Excellent video!

[tselinsky]

Probably the most helpful video on plant lighting I've seen. Everyone else out there is testing all these crazy LED combinations. Devin makes it easy and covers a lot of ground all at once. Thanks!

[ADHDKING]

Great video . One way I hid the grow light poles (vertical) and the lamps were to buy some Pothos plants and let them vine around. Made a big difference with cables as well . Great thing is if they get too big you can cut them .

[sheldonmurphy]

Clicked on the video to see Freddie from Scooby-Doo talk about grow lights.

Stayed for the information! 😁

No matter how much I think I know, it's always great to relearn what you have learned, and there were a few things I had wrong.

Thank You For Your Video Sir!

This channel has been the most helpful to me out of all the ones I've viewed. I'm a beginning house plant gardener and am grateful for this video!

[marcospelaez]

Fantastic video! This was very informative and helpful. I think you can take the metal covers from those clamp lights you don’t like and spray paint them. Then you can put them back on and have focused light but lose the industrial look and energy you didn’t like. Thank you for all these tips. Going to help my journey a lot

[verdasney]

What a nice video! I've been doing research about grow lights and your video literally has everything. Thank you so much for the information

[rlm]

Wow! I love your plant collection. My neighbors think I live in a plant store. I could honestly live in a jungle. I love having indoor plants and have over a hundred. My husband told me I need to cut back a little because I'm encroaching on his space. NOT going to happen. Anyway, your video provided many great tips. Thanks a million for this information.

[Marcel_Audubon]

really like the suggestion about using the wasted space under a table for a grow light

[canhope]

Thank you for this information! I converted over to Soltech light systems throughout my house and have had a lot of success with them. They sell standalone hanging lights as well as ceiling mount track systems. Pricey but high quality and excellent lights.

Love that your video didn’t drag on. You were very thorough and so informative! Subscribed and look forward to looking at your videos.😍👍

[jazzycrescendo]

Thanks for the video! I just moved apartments and my new place gets about half the sunlight my old place got. This really helps!

[vickykent]

Devin, perfect timing. I've been looking at grow lights but really had no idea what to be looking for except to assume that the full spectrum was probably the best choice. Your interior design tips and tricks to upscale the look of grow lights was excellent too!

I'm quite excited about my latest acquisition, which is a Moondrop, a dwarf version of the shefflera. The small, white variegation against the dark green leaves with the occasional white leaf is a striking contrast. It grows to about 3', which is perfect for my apartment living.

Can't thank you enough for your videos. You make them very interesting and concise with no rambling. Perfect. 😊

BTW, the item you held up and didn't know the name of is called a lampshade. 😂

Some of the t5 and t8 bars can be stuck on using double sided adhesive pads that the product comes with. Heavy duty 2x sided mounting tape can be also be used on the plastic parts. Really useful if you cannot or should not drill on the piece of furniture you’re your using. I’ve also heard of people attaching Velcro strips
