    Great information. I have a set of led lights, similar to the one at the beginning of your video. Could anyone tell me if its better to start seedlings with only the blue light? or should I use red & blue together? Thankyou

    I bought some led full spectrum red/blue 4ft strips and a shelf. My biggest concern or question is how far to place above the seedlings. They don't have reflectors. And I am not sure of the lumens yet either.

    • @MasonDixonAcres
      @MasonDixonAcres  Рік тому +2

      The light's manufacturer might have a recommendation or even folks in the comments for your product. We keep ours ~6 inches above young seedlings and they do well! But they also have the purple diffusers on them and aren't INSANELY bright. Just use good judgement, if it seems too close or bright for a living thing it probably is!

    Hi from the UK. I’m new to your channel and last year I bought some grow lights like the first one you demonstrated and was just wondering how close to the newly sown seeds should the lights be?

    • @MasonDixonAcres
      @MasonDixonAcres  Рік тому +3

      Once the seeds sprout, I would recommend keeping them about 2-3 inches from the top of the plant. You'll be able to tell if the plant is "reaching" for the light and you need to move it closer. If it's too close, you might see some spots on the seedlings. I'd start farther away and then move closer if necessary!

  • @carolcleveland-bell2176

    I purchased the 3 prong clip on light you recommended but I am unclear how long I should use each switch mode (warm white/Red+Blue/Sunlight White) during each 12-16 hour cycle. Or should I leave the light in one mode? I am using this for my seedlings.

    • @MasonDixonAcres
      @MasonDixonAcres  Рік тому +4

      I leave it the mode that has both the red+blue light! It's worked well for me!

    Newbie I ordered 50 White Pine seedings. The seller recommended I grow them for a year before I plant them to make them stronger. During this period I would like to grow them inside my home. What system do you recommend. Will this system work? Is it possible to grow pine trees seedings indoors?

    • @MasonDixonAcres
      @MasonDixonAcres  Рік тому +1

      Never tried starting trees from seedling! We always buy saplings from a nursery, or many times we have gotten free 3' saplings that are given out by local programs working to promote tree planting. I'd try looking into that too! But I'd guess that tree seedlings will grow similar to any indoor house plant or seedling.

    • @MasonDixonAcres

      They work great for us and many others. If you don't have somewhere to hang overhead lights (such as a shelving unit), you need something that can clip onto the edge of a table or counter.

    Those lights are trash. I literally returned the same exact ones earlier today because the clamp doesn’t support the weight of the lights and they ended up falling onto seedlings causing one to snap in half. Do not get those lights. Get ones that hang and are adjustable
