- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- Are LED sellers truthful with their efficiency claims? How can you tell? Who's being honest? In this LED grow light video review, I decided to audit 4 popular Amazon vendors (Spider Farmer, Maxsisun, Mars Hydro & ViparSpectra) to see if their lights match the PPE product specs shown on their websites. Which companies are most truthful?
This review features 6 popular LED grow light models from the "1000" category. Some of them might be ok for a single "medicinal" plant. But these are ideal for home gardeners, growing things like lettuce, microgreens, seedlings & herbs. Three premium models: SF1000, MF1000 & TS1000. Three budget lights: SF1000D, PB1000 & TS600. Which lights are best? I took PPFD readings comparing the light levels. The video shows several other metrics for comparing these grow lights.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
==================
Although I reviewed & tested 6 LED grow lights, I'm only able to recommend 4 of them: SF1000, PB1000, MF1000 & TS1000. The SF1000D & TS600 are subpar units. Unless you can get them at a super cheap price, you're better off just buying a PB1000.
• SF1000: Spider Farmer originally released this LED at $140. A year later, they had added a dimmer box & raised the price to $160. It wasn't making any extra light. It just cost more. They originally listed it as PPE 2.7. Then they claimed PPE 2.9. This was false. Their Integrating Sphere test reports show the PPE is only 2.5! It's still very efficient. It also has a higher percentage of Far Red light vs the other LEDs. So I do recommend it. But I would not pay more than $160 for it.
• SF1000D: Growers might mistake the SF1000D for a SF1000 without the dimmer. But that's not the only difference! It has Samsung LM301D diodes. It doesn't have a branded driver. And so the power factor is low (0.69). The efficacy is much lower. The PPE is only 2 (even though the label said 2.6). At $100 or higher, this light is simply not worth it.
• PB1000: Maxsisun's budget grow light. A very nice entry level light at a good price. It's nice & clean, similar to how the SF1000 started out. Samsung LM281B+ diodes are less efficient than the SF1000/SF1000D ones. But it has a good driver & more of diodes, allowing them to run at a lower voltage. Thus, the efficacy is 2.1 umol/J & it runs at a true 100W.
• MF1000: It has more features than the others: Ribbed heat sink, daisy chain power connector & remote control for power & dimming. The reflector hood helps to focus the photons (along with a smaller diode footprint). It doesn't output much more light than the PB1000. But it distributes the light differently (good for non-tent applications). The PPE is slightly higher (2.139 vs 2.077) & it includes a Far Red diode. But it has that premium price too. If you're impressed by the features, then it's worth it.
• TS600: Mars Hydro didn't want me to review this light. They had NO test report for it. It has false PPE specs on the label (PPE 2.3). It is probably more like 1.8 umol/J. This is based on my PPFD readings compared to the MF1000 (which matches wattage & also has a reflector hood). The TS600 has a poor power factor (0.7). It's not very bright & not as efficient. I don't advise buying it.
• TS1000: Unlike the other 100W models, this LED is a full 150W. So the output is much higher! I was given an old test report. But my PPFD readings support an efficacy of 2.1 or even 2.2. It would be fair to compare this light to the others, except it costs LESS than the SF1000. And you can dim it too. A good value in that more expensive premium category!

I want to see the se7000
I've been watching ALL of your grow light videos. multiple times.
It seems for this year or recently they upgraded the SF-1000D to have the same diodes as the SF1000. It says on there website as well that it has the LM301B diodes instead of the LM301D diodes.
I need help finding the correct lighting for house plants! Any way you could consult with me?
Did you check the "updated" white version of the TS600?
This is the ONLY good video I've found on this subject. Most ppl on youtube seem to parrot the original marketing. Your video is incredible in terms of information and quality!
Cos most get a free light 😂
Exatly ! So tired of all those partial youtuber and influencer not doing any research and most not knowing what they are talking about. Most get a free light and some get money with it, just to sell us marketing / false data they are reading from their script, in the mean time a lot of sells occurs for untrustworthy brand. Funny how they are barely giving any product to those who knows what they are talking about and will do the research, that's speaks volume. Anyway sorry for my broken english, that was my ted talk.
Exactly!!!
Thanks for the load!
The deceit really needs to end. Kinda reminds me of the stereo era in the 90's when all these amplifiers were rated high watts at an ohm spec which the amp could NOT output. Having to spend energy and time to keep others honest is a sad use of human potential.
Thanks for your service !!
You're 2nd to last line plagues me constantly. I have to spend an hour to check your lies and another hour fighting them. No thanks. I have a 1000w (continuous, not peak) Pyramid amp with a hunk of lead in it to make it nice and heavy for boating use. It bumps harder than a pile of Hifonics Zeusses @ 8 ohms. I'll give ya a great deal on it and throw in a Kenwood 999 and a Panasoonics pull-out with corresponding anti-theft purse. Hmu...
As much as I dislike most social media , I thank UA-cam for this type of real info.
For whatever reason I really really like this guy. Thank you for helping make this confusing process a lot less confusing, especially as an electrician.
Hats off to you sir; your integrity and tenacity in holding up these company's figures and their honesty is sorly need.
Thanks so much. I am using that mars 600, right now, and was looking through the plethora of lights with a spinning head. Every new thing you do brings so many things that need to be learned.
The video I was looking for the longest. Very well articulated, I wish I could see more of this non paid audits 👍💯
@@ryelu7885 I. In the UK and these bloomspec are practically cheapest best quality light I got a 2000 watt for 40 pounds about 60 70 dollars ,there not to bad for the money but my mars ts 1000 is my favourite .has anyone heard or know if the phizon is any good it's 1500 running upto 150 Watts, but maxisun I on my list next anythoughts,I Always lose remote controls though.
You are the best light reviewer. Thank you for holding them accountable as much as you could.
Thanks so much for you kind words! I appreciate your support. :)
@@Albopepper Great job!!These Grow Lights being sold online usually are declared a higher value than actual ratings since the end users normally do not have enough knowledge to tell the difference and no test equipment to verify.. If you can, you may get some real commercial grade Grow Light fixtures from good scale manufacturers, like my former company, LEDIA Lighting; companies like us only provide OEM/ODM services to USA local brands, including the top tier ones, such as Fluence! These brands have very strict quality requirements, and do FQC inspection for every shipment..If you want to look into this, feel free to contact me though!! Again, good job for this video!!
You talk about finding 3rd party tests and reports, but if we’re being honest, videos like this are the absolute best source for information about products like this and the info is gold.
thank you so much for doing all this work .It was a great reveal . I would never have been able to side by side these numbers and yes , I was really surprised at how deceitful they can be . Not surprisingly was that the manufacturer you stated was more transparent and honest in their information is put down a lot amongst growers (Growmies ) go figure !!
You are a life saver. I know nothing about grow lights and you helped tremendously. I hope that everyone who needs an LED grow light sees this video, thank you.
Dude! Thank you for paying such attention to detail and going out of your way to contact these companies. Excellent video
Awesome!! Heroes of the internet are those keeping manufactures and marketing folks on their toes! I'm not even into grow lights, but this was a very thorough and interesting review with great analysis and coverage of back/forth communication with the manufactures! Keep it up!
imagine if we actually wanted the u.s. government and other world governments to regulate this and have laws requiring businesses to not lie. just got spider farmer sf1000 for my small grow area. hope it works like it says
I love maxsisun is really becoming competitive. Upgraded drivers better heat sinks Remotes. Daisy chain. I have a HLG-100 its a couple years old now still works great but wish i would of waited for some of these new versions. I am very impressed with maxsisun.
Very good information in this video! Thanks! I got 3 SF-1000 and I've been using them for a little more than a year. They work great so far. I also like the dimmer knob they added on recent models.
Another great video. In fact, I'd say this one is classic. Thanks for all your efforts to keep these folks somewhat honest. More vids please.
Thanks for your kind words Deake! I really appreciate your support. :D
I think you have just beaten a record: a Frenchman has understood your entire video without missing a beat!
Beautiful day to you 🙌🏼
Tu comptes acquérir une nouvelle lampe ? Malgré les tests et les comparaisons disponibles sur internet j’hésite encore. J’aimerais partir sur un kit Spider Farmer avec SF 4000 pour du 120 x 120 mais le prix est de 800 y’a de quoi hésiter !
This is honestly the best and most hard-worked review I've seen.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I'm shopping around for a light right now and this couldn't have been more helpful. you just got yourself a new subscriber👍💪💪
Very good job explaining and making it easy to understand. The best I’ve found on UA-cam for sure. Thank you!
I remember moving into a trailer as a child n finding a closet covered in foil with a regular light 💡 oh how the times change 😂😂😂
I Did that once, Took a beautiful Lady Plant and closeted her With grow lights and in 7 days she became a male and sprouted thousands of balls.
Sad her early budding went male, but neighbors said Nice Plant so she had to go.
😢That is so cool. When I was about 7 me and my mother moved into a house in Waterloo Ohio the upstairs had nothing but clothesline strung from one side of the room to the other three rooms up there I think. Over in the corners were these big bundles of what I thought was corn stalks like I said I'm like seven at the time. My mom was mid 50. Neither of us had any idea until my older brother showed up and we were burning this in a wood stove starting fires using it for kindling. You can walk outside and the whole town smelled like a pot party. Obviously somebody had got a big harvest outdoors that year and that's where they hung it and cured it. True story
We had to start somewhere! First thing I figured out was a waste of time.
😂
Thank you for your review. I actually ordered a SF1000 yesterday. So watching this video was a bit more exciting than I wanted it to be 😅
Hahahaha I hear you! I hope you enjoy your purchase. It's a solid performing light! :)
I don't care for that brand but that's a good light that model. I just purchased a viparspectra Xs 1500 that also got a very high rating only thing bad about viparspectra is there customer service..
Thank you Aldo! You do a superb job of testing and reviewing. Have a great weekend!
Thanks Ke! I appreciate your positive feedback. I hope you have a great weekend as well! :D
This is FANTASTIC! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I have been looking at grow lights for a while now and didn't know how to make sense of the specs. This is great. Thank you so much! Subscribed!!
This is the kind of high effort high quality content that makes me excited for the future state of UA-cam
Holy cow thanks for this video it's incredibly in depth! Makes me feel a bit better getting two ts1000s vs one ts1000 and one sf1000. I personally chose the ts1000s because I can put the drivers OUTSIDE the tent which has helped dramatically with temps.
I use this to control the temps in my tent man its amazing. I took my drivers off in the summer and put them back on in the winter to gain a few degrees when the temps outside dropped.
This just popped up in my feed and I’m damn sure I checked it out. Professional, informative and clearly you’ve got major integrity.
All right someone showing the inaccuracies of products. This is why utube is all I pay attention to. Thank you so much .
Leading the pack in objective reviewing of these grow lights . Thx
This was an amazing review, thank you so much!!
Physicist out of UW Madison here. Also, a growing and testing enthusiast.
One refinement to your data - PPF doesn't include sub 400nm or >700nm, so the more IR+UV diodes, the lower the PPF and PPE (as you've calculated), though IR contribute even more on an energy basis (requiring less energy per photon (E=hv/lambda)). So the "2.9" data may just include a wider wavelength range, as PPF is an inherently flawed, invalid measurement parameter if IR+UV are included.
Said another way, a purely IR+UV grow light would have 0 PPF, but would 1 draw power and 2 contribute greatly to plant growth. Awesome video and great work overall, though!
Update: For anyone optimizing a grow room to run as cheaply as possible, plant growth scales with number of photons, NOT wattage drawn from the wall. It takes nearly twice as much wattage to make a blue photon as a red photon, yet to a plant, they're both the same as far as photosynthesis[1].
Said another way, a light that puts out more red than blue could have a much lower efficiency but deliver much more usable energy to your plant (red photons carry about 1.8eV whereas blue are ~3.1eV).
Thanks for your input! The 2.9 PPE data does not include IR / UV. It was a fabrication. This video update talks more about the PAR range and PPF efficacy vs Photon Flux efficacy: ua-cam.com/video/WmjOSzSF-HI/v-deo.html
I'm not sure where you get the data showing blue photons require nearly twice as much wattage. This source cites 450nm blue diodes as having an efficacy of 3.5 umol/J while 660nm reds are 4.5 umol/J: _doi.org/10.1038/s41438-020-0283-7__._ Red diodes get a boost, but they're not twice as efficacious.
When optimizing a grow room to run cheaply, a grower would get the most PAR photons per watt if they simply used Red Diodes. But such diodes are more costly to manufacture so the upfront cost would be higher. More importantly, plants won't grow properly under such a narrow, limited bandwidth. You need to account for photomorphogenesis. Thus, blue LEDs are needed to avoid undesirable morphologies. But the phosphor coated blue diodes also add green light into the spectrum which brings its own inherent advantages like improved canopy penetration.
Either way, higher efficacy is still crucial. On a watt per watt basis, the higher the PPE, the more PAR photons being emitted which means more growth potential.
Love your videos and how comprehensive they are. Keep it up!!
That's why we got you! All those numbers can be a bit confusing ! Thank you!
Thanks for watching Sophie! :-)
Awesome buddy thank you i have the SF4000 and a SF1000 in a 5x5 going to flip to flower Thursday my first indoor ever was under the SF4000 in the 5x5 i added the SF1000 this second run will keep you all updated love your videos thank you
I'm a little confused is the spider farm 1000 good please help I am new to this and I really don't understand
How did it go ?
This has been terrific, as well as the other vids of yours that I stumbled on today. You are my new favorite homegrowing YT instructor. A lot of the light measuring science goes over my head (I went to art school) but I'm glad I can consult your interpretation of the data.
Thank you. Really appreciated the scientific and mathematical approach you took. I wish there was more of us out there! Cheers
I wish I would have seen this before I made my purchase, really well done.
Amazing knowledge here for a home grower! Thank you SO much!!!
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate your support! :)
man I loved this video, super informative, honest and fun to watch ! you've won a sub today
appreciate the analysis of brands I've been seeing lately, this is relevant and useful :)
I'm glad it was able to help out! Thanks for watching. :-D
Maxsisun are no liers . Thank you for this research, this provides me more than enough information to decide which one I need
Thanks for watching Ned! I'm glad this was able to help you out. :)
We need more people like you, Thank you so much
What an informative video Mr.Pepper, many thanks , subscribed!
Great review!
Nice to see you here, lmao
lmao lekker kweken op de zolder
This video was very refreshing!!! I was sick and tired of all these growers giving these great reviews to lights just because the Chinese gave them a “free” light. Give a grower a free light and he will give raving reviews . This industry is so full of lies and deceptions it makes me want to go back to HPS .
don't give up mang 🤺
Thank you ! I had learn what i was missing and begining to understand by myself. I will continue my learning process and found the perfect light for my buisness project !
I don't even look for a LED light but I love the video and the message. Good work man!
My friend uses viparspectra and he produces some pretty big buds using the p1000 I don't care about all the fancy this and fancy that I want to see results viparspectra gives good results and a very good price.
I agree I also like the dimmer switch option it's very important to me to be able to adjust the lights
Thanks for keeping them honest
Excellent video, thank you very much. Everything i needed in a single video. Subbed!
i was looking for a video that shows all this info really appreciate.! got me heads up was reaaly trying to figure out the diffrences now i know what iam getting thankyou.!this video going to help 100s more
I'm glad I could help! Thanks for watching. :D
i have missed seeing your videos. you make great energy efficiency led lighting videos
I'm glad to be able to help out! I hope we can keep the industry moving in the right direction. :)
I grabbed a maxsisun mf2000 after watching this. I love the thing. Great buy IMO, so much so that I actually ordered another one last night now that my girls have outgrown their current set up. Last time it arrived a day early and I had it installed in minutes. Hope this helps someone like me... slow, skeptical, suspicious, shopper who reads every review possible if Im spending more than about $100. Some details... my grow room is 4 ft x 4 ft. I plan on using 2 maxsisunmf2000 for 6 medicinal plants. The heat stays within ideal range with the light on. This guys video is very helpful for understanding the info you want to understand when new to purchasing led grow lights. Good Luck!!!
Is 1 mf2000 good for a 2x2 tent or is it too much
What a very clear & informative review! Makes a complex subject accessible and huge doses of common sense thrown in - what more could you ask? Well done.
Fabulous review. All relevant characteristics included. Bravo!
Awesome freaking video. I very much appreciate the information and for tell the whole truth and not what the marketing department would have you say. It's nice to be able to trust someone who doesn't try to sell bull crap to us. You have earned a subscriber for life and I promise to keep coming back for more and sharing your video's with as many people as I possibly can.
👊😎👍
I absolutely love my bloom plus BP 1500 for a 150w light.
Absolutely kills my 2x2x4 small tent.
Great information & discussion.
Good to know! Thanks for watching. :-D
Dude, super helpful video. Thank you so much! Just subscribed
Just bought a TS 1000 and I found one used for 90 bucks on Amazon. Thanks for this video.
nice video i replaced my spider farmers sf1000 with new mars hydro ts1000 they now have goodwell and dimmers amazing lights
Does the Mars produce much more heat....any increase in yields with the Mars..? I was thinking about getting the sf1000, but I've seen a fair bit positive comparison for the Mars units. I'm considering the Mars unit. Thanks
Oooooh finally new video from my "go to light guy". Make more videos please.
Ps. Thank you for reading 'small letters' and bringing us the light. 😉
LOL! Good one. ;-) Thanks for watching!
@@Albopepper thanks bro. glad u liked it. My poetry is better day by day. 🥃🚬🥃🚬 😉
I gotta say i really loved all the information provided by this video. do you plan on doing a video for LED-HID equivalents/replacements? such as the HLG lights? i would love to see a video like that from you !
Love to see you do the bigger lights.
nice, thanks maxisun. ill be choosing you guys. honesty goes a very long way.
I agree! Thanks for watching. :-D
Great research, quality content - i love it.
Thank you for your clear, useful information. I’ve just started learning about grow lights and wondered whether it was just my fault that I was confused. It’s shocking that these companies are so deceptive. I feel more confident that armed with your information I will be able to make an intelligent choice.
Thanks a lot for let us learn about LED efficiency and able to compare !
Dont need me to tell you but what a great channel man! Im here from the cannipepper shouts and some real reviews paid or not thankyou!!!!!
Thanks! I really appreciate your support!!! :-D
I thought this was for reef tank lighting.. but I really like your in depth review about these lights. You have a good perspective! You should get a salt water tank and make videos for us all😂😂 choosing between reef tank lights is a big decision that costs anywhere from $500 to $15,000 just in lights! So having a good review like this about all the different lights would be next level!! Great video man!
I think this is all about just being terrified!! About spending a high amount of money saying they won’t supply me a sample, so he is only checking efficacy,par, like what is he getting at? I get it. But spend some cash don’t be scared get a 1000 watt true led once. I did and u will see results, don’t know about any of these lights he mentions with the scientific “fair” part of photons and all that but he said it!! Price! So if u want a really awesome led grow light spend and just don’t be afraid to spend money on one I have done this grow thing over 20 yrs I did my research of course u have to spend more than $100-$800 bucks bro don’t buy out of country lights either! u don’t need someone to say, o this one compared to this or these lights inflate data or lie you about par and all that. Spend money man you can’t compromise with price. The saying goes u get what you “pay” for don’t ask for a sample light and waste your time read on par, micromoules, per second first just read for your self u will find what works for you.
But he does know his stuff on lighting for sure the man is amazing with knowledge on a lot of brands don’t get me wrong. Not knocking him just saying don’t be afraid to spend on an led it just drives u half crazy trying to decide which is best but make the switch from halides and street lights u get way better results with led!👍
best comparison of leds ive seen so far good work well done thanks
Thanks for your kind words! :D
very in depth and helpful us less literate in the ways of grow lights. I have a TS600 just because it came with my 2x2x5 tent and filter/fan, which was the best price I could find for all of the above by a mile. Interesting to see how it compares to competitors!
With that size tent is only one light needed ?
Another very enlightening video! I‘m still using a couple of Spider Farmers that you recommended a couple of years ago and I‘m very happy with them-2 SF2000‘s...I think. All these numbers make my eyes sort of water over and it can get confusing. I just want the damn plants to grow and I don‘t want to break the bank to get there, so I really appreciate that you have done the hard work for us. How will I know when it‘s time to get new lights? I grow two seasons per year with lights on for 12-18 hrs/day, and I think I‘ve gone 4 seasons with these lights. Thank you!
You should do more videos like these. Perhaps some of the best far red lights, or even the best led bar lights.. I know Mars hydro has a very weird bar light out there that is Incredibly expensive and needs looking at.
I really like the format of which your videos follow
Thanks for watching Angus! :)
So much work went into the video. Great work and great information 👍
Awesome and very thorough reviews! I hope I have my own brand of grow lights by August. Maybe you could review them :)
Excellent info. Thank you 🙏
I just picked up the Spider Farmer, now I'm wondering if I should have gone with the Mars Hydro, great video, thanks!
great vid. thanks for your work and effort... really appreciated
This is a brilliant video mate. As a reviewer you’ve convinced me to request and thoroughly examine the integrating sphere report. Although I never use manufacturer claims in my reviews this video thoroughly highlights the flaws within the industry. Especially the honesty in the relationship between light manufacturers and buyers.
I’m not sure why they inflate their results, its not fooling anyone.
I try to rely solely on my own measurements but the results of an IST would be a great yardstick assuming you can trust the results provided.
You’ve convinced me to demand these tests before review.
Fantastic video.
Thank you.
Thanks! I'm glad this info is able to shine some light on a major problem in the industry. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks for watching! :)
where were you 5 years ago when light shopping? about time someone cuts down the bush of crap on amazon, ebay and other sites. Good Stuff!!!!!
Thank you very mutch for this Video. You explaining so good, way better than others.
I think everyone of these lights are at least good and probably can't go wrong with any of them. However, the Maxsisun company has taken engineering, build quality and convenience to a new level. I've owned a few of these brands but honestly, the Maxsisun, especially the MF series, has taken grow lights to the next level. Once you open the box, take it out and examine it, you'll be sold. If this doesn't sell you, the test results are top notch. It just feels so solid and looks so clean like someone really took their time making these.
I got the maxisun 4000pb. Good light Im happy with it!
Good yields?
that is too cool I really appreciate that thank you and God bless you! Question what about the Creed cost Creed lights the 50watts to 100watt?
Dude.. Thank you for this. I was going to get the Maxsisun MF1500 soon.. I think its the one I'm going to get for my 2x2.. You sir, are awesome.. I've had 3 Mars Hydro TS 1000 crap out in the last 3 years.. So upset.. But they just recently started using new drivers.. The Moso 150W.. Not sure if it's going to make much of a difference.. But dude thank you for this.. Ive always checked those test pages you were asking for and Ive tried my best to understand alot of it.. You explained it for me to understand 100% now.. Thank you for that.. Bad ass video man.. Very helpful.
I love the ts1000 I own one and a cheap philzon 600. Once I upgraded my light I saw a dramatic difference in my plants I only paid 135 for my ts1000
Nice! That's a great value. :)
What size grow space are you running that in?
thanks for the video, you opened my eyes on the potencial scams out there
thanks a lot
You earned a subscriber! way to call these companies out. Unfortunately I understand some of them need to exaggerate to not get put in the shadow. Your message was clear and direct nice job👍
man thanks for your hard work really appreciated
well done! Thank you!
Just a great, well-presented video as always. Maybe I can add a couple of additional observations.
The cheaper Mars lights are made with very shiny aluminum, but it is not anodized. The shine will diminish over time with natural atmospheric corrosion.
The Maxsisun PB-2000 I bought was the same diodes as my Spider Farmer SF-2000, but it was about a third cheaper. It had about a third less diodes. Wouldn't that mean the diodes are being driven harder and will not last as long (assuming they both run at the same wattage)?
Thanks for watching! I'm not sure. When I look at the current PB-2000 Pro, it uses 700 diodes with LM281B+. But the SF-2000 is 606 diodes with LM301B. So I don't know how that compares to older product revisions.
Generally, yes more diodes will mean less current running through each. And this can help with both lumen maintenance and also efficacy. But many of these LED systems are using more solid components these days, especially the drivers. So hopefully it will continue to perform well and last a long time for you.
Impeccable service you are providing. Thank you. Well put together information that was very helpful in my endeavor.
I'll go with Maxisun since they are the most honest and helpful.

Great work 👍
I decided on the MASISUN PB 1000 even before I saw this video. Will be ordering that very soon. Thank you. Judi
I'm a bit late to the party, but as someone who's super analytical, a bit of an OCD enthusiast, and indecisive, I find these video formats perfect for educational purposes and making purchase decisions. Overall, this is the top video for comparisons that truly satisfies my analytical needs. The best approach for analytical comparisons is to remain objective. Keep up the hard work!
Can’t say “medicinal” these days. Unless you want to be demonetized. Been through it several times myself. Doesn’t matter if the video only shows tomatoes or peppers. UA-cam is being stupid these days.
What about 'hemp' or 'cannabis'?
Hmm. Good to know! I'll keep that in mind for sure. Obviously, avoiding the situation is preferred.
Do you challenge improper demonetizations? I've had completely random, unrelated videos get demonetized time and again. For no valid reason what-so-ever. I always dispute them. Then a few were not overturned. So I pushed it. I got on the chat and pushed for them to do a REAL review by a REAL human and pushed and pushed for them to restore. I've been able to succeed every single time. But it might take crazy effort. Don't roll over. Keep pushing back.
@@Albopepper I'm back, not the human you were looking for. Gardening + maritomato != kid friendly.
Get ready for the ban-hammer. ;D.
Thanks for the video.
Growing Answers,
More HA IoGarden please.
@@Albopepper Yes I’ve challenged them quite a bit. Appealed until I couldn’t appeal anymore. A few have been fixed and others haven’t. Some got age restricted for no real reason or at least no given reason. I noticed a trend of limited or no ads or age restrictions. It seems anytime you even hint towards drug related things it’s an automatic trigger.Going forward I’ve had to basically avoid even mentioning anything that can be tied back to drug related words. And I believe I found that if you eat anything like a hot pepper and it causes you distress or pain, they can demonetized for that because it’s in the guidelines.
Yeah, that's really messed up! Are you familiar with the UA-camrs Union (FairTube)? ua-cam.com/video/ocwrLmXj9Jk/v-deo.html
