House Plant Light Reviews with Dr. Bruce Bugbee
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 бер 2022
- Dr. Bruce Bugbee gives some tips for picking the best inexpensive supplemental grow lights for houseplants and other small horticultural projects. Many companies manufacture these small lights and picking the best one for your needs can be confusing. Not only is Bruce a world renowned crop physiology professor and researcher at Utah State University, he is also an avid houseplant hobbyist with decades of experience growing exotic and enormous plants in his home in Logan, Utah. Bruce is also the founder and president of Apogee Instruments, that manufactures research-grade environmental sensors for measuring things like the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) output of lights, temperature, root zone O2, and more. www,apogeeinstruments.com

Thanks for all the info watching all the way from New Zealand
Thank you
Thanks so much for this video!
Great vid and thanks for the math on the end
Great video, thank you
really dig the new haircut! thanks for all the knowledge!
Thank you for another great lecture. If I may ask you for good light to grow aquatic plants, as we know water reflects some waves and mostly red ones are not going very deeply under the surface. Would kindly be able to recommend any not too expensive (roughly 50$) source of light for growing aquatic plants to the tank size 100x50x50cm, 250L? Most recommended once are over 200$.
Kind regards,
Kris.
Thank you. I been wanting to get into house plants since growing cannabis in a tent. I think I may add a light to any house plants I get.
Awesome 👍 thanks
Yes, I agree to skip the nasty purple spectrum! Typically the better ones are 2 Kelvin diode types, both warm AND cool. But then there are the devoted red diodes which help to create a nice warm feel, while boosting efficacy. I definitely don't recommend the inset lights with those cheap plastic frames and shoddy driver. No dimmer! The "75W" light you showed makes false spectrum claims in their listing. It doesn't have UV or IR diodes. Certainly, their claims don't match the spectral graph they display in the listing. You should take a spectrometer reading to see what the thing is _really_ outputting.
It's kinda funny, because Apogee is this amazing leader in horticulture lighting instrumentation. But there were no real proper readings shown here. No wattage meter readings or power factor measurements. No proper PPFD readings from a measured uniform distance. Nothing addressing target spot readings for various crop / plant types. No examples of home user instruments like mobile apps that measure lumens / PPFD.
It's good to be simple. Just encourage growers to get out there and buy something and start growing. But many of these companies lie, showing inflated wattages, false PPE / PPF specs, etc. They use inferior drivers. This cheap junk has burned out far too many times for me personally and so many others. I would sooner see a grower buying a 95W light that they dim down as needed for $70. Rather than buy a $20 light that under performs or even fails prematurely.
There are SO many growers who are completely disillusioned with LEDs. And it's all because of false promises and misrepresented products. This bottom feeder junk on Amazon is partly to blame! ugh..... 🙄
I bought a $20 panel from aliexpress with uv and ir, lettuces love it! I think more than expensive lights without IR
THANK YOU LEGEND
i would like to know, if you have information, how bad are the led chip cob of 50w, they are freaking cheap. Great content, greating from Argentina.
What was the name of that last tube light?I can't find it on amazon.
I am so Glad to see the Purple go away! I am using Grow LEDs for all my household lighting needs now.
I’m looking at doing aeroponics with garden plants. Peppers, tomato’s, lettuce, celery, etc. many of these plants require full sun. Would any of the lights you’re referencing in your video be sufficient for my purposes? I ask because one of your closing comments in the last 3-4 minutes mentions plants your referencing don’t require bright full light. This makes me think you’re not referencing garden plants, but instead micro greens or herbs.
Thanks for the great videos!
Hey I appreciate all that you share !
Any news on the cannabis course?
Do you publish your findings of the quality of light from the leds somewhere?
Best quality from all my years of experience would be hlg. America made and no bs replacements if something happens to your light. I had a hlg 550 eco for close to two years and it’s driver stopped working and they replaced it with a more expensive higher quality 550rspec for free. Even send it out before i send the old one back in. Stay away from next light brand they are horribly overpriced and underperforming. All Chinese made lights are the same regardless of name.
Thank you Doctor Bugbee, keep the videos coming!
can anyone explain what I'm missing as aside from an inset light and maybe a "warm" light for indoors for a better ambiance, what makes any of these lights actually worth picking for growth?
The LED spectrum is suitable for growth of plants (2700K for flowering plants and unto 6500K for leafy greens) and you can get more coverage (keep the light further away from the plants) so you can grow more in the same area. Plus the benefits he mentioned about shape (long thin for that space or square for that space). They are also lighter in weight and don't need fans to keep them cool. The old ones would get very hot.
Hes the Best.
Electricity here in California is .32 / Kwh. HIgh usage goes up to .44 / Kwh.
Can someone recommend a brand of led that points the light directly downwards?
All lights that aren't a flat panel. The rectangular box style with sides. The lights are recessed.
Has anyone try doing a study on cannabis giving it 24 hour light and 24 hour of dark just curious cause the 12/12 cycle just wondering what it would do
What kind of houseplants are you envisioning? Basil and Oregano? Ficas?
We love u thks bugbee Sempaï
Good stuff. I used 32w t8 4ft fluorescents from the hardware store for years. Plants grew fine. Especially herbs.
When will we get something about the thermodynamic limitations of LUX indoors? I have heard Dr Bugbee say 2000ppfd is nothing outdoors.
What I have never heard him say is that with "sunlight spectrum" 5400K indoors, you need 108,000 LUX to make 2000ppfd, and you can cook eggs with 108,000 LUX.
LOTS of growers cranking the intensity knob from 750ppfd at 40500 LUX to 1000ppfd at 54000 LUX indoors that don't understand why all the smell disappears on that day.
It's all about getting the proper daily light integral. Use ppfd instead of lux.
Seeing new videos of yours pop up always brightens my day. Very informative once again!
It's a totally different topic but it might be appreciated to read/hear the man's pros & cons on "remediation".
what about a grow light review specifically for cannabis?
You should be able to apply these concepts to picking lights for growing cannabis, as well.
Please get a mic headset. I can barely hear @ full volume on my LG
Appreciate the lecture as always. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Paid $79 for mine but everyone on Reddit thinks you gotta spend $250. It's like having a 1,000 horsepower car but the speed limit is 60mph. The cheaper lights can have plenty of power. Mine puts out 2,000 ppfd at the center at a distance of 12 inches. I only needed 900 to 1,000 for 16 hours a day.
Bullcrap what light is it
The man, the legend. I learn something every time I watch his videos. Thanks for educating us with your knowledge and research.

Troesma.
I always learn something valuable from these videos. Coincidentally i was also wanting to start some venus flytraps myself so the timing is spot on.
Когда понимаешь что выбрал не тот университет
This is great info, and the cost break down of cost of use, is on point, it can be very cheap to grow your own food at home. And this would be perfect for growing micro greens.
what about flood lights, lol what the heck, were you lacking ideas for this topic? What about shop lights, or flood lights, what are you actually looking to understand, is it par, is it watt, is it lumens on the box...?
