can’t wait to see updates!!i also have a beheaded Melaco under my purple lights and it has a really nice dark red color
I love experiments and I’m looking forward to seeing the results. Thanks for the tour of your greenhouse! I’m so jealous! 🥰
I’m excited about the experiment too! Will update in 3 weeks!!
This was great so far. Your explanation was very easy to understand. Can't wait to see the end results! How fun!
Thank you! I am definitely still learning and something really interesting happened with the plants the very first day but I’m not going to post any of the updates for three weeks. I really can’t wait to see which one does the best though
Nice light~ want to see more for your plants under light
I just found your channel and I’m loving it!! I’m excited for this experiment🤗 summer where I live is brutal, the temps get up into the mid 120s, so my succulents live indoors. I have a cute little grow light set up that’s worked well for the last 3 years so I haven’t looked into any other lights, so I’m excited to see how this goes!😁
Holy moly that's hot! I used to live in AZ so I know a bit about how brutal those high temps can be 🥵
Wow that’s super hot! I thought it was hot here in the summer. Where do you live? I would bring my plants inside also if the temps got that high. What kind of lights do you use now? Thanks for watching!
@@hollibarels8536 I lived in Phoenix for a while! Always loved when Arizona natives would say “Oh you’re from California? You won’t survive the summer hers” lol!
@@SweetSweetSucculents I’m in El Centro in Southern California! About 2 hours east of San Diego, we’re an agricultural community. I tthhiiink the light I have now is just a 2 row T5 maybe?? I ordered it off Amazon right before my first summer with succulents! I got pretty lucky, it was the first light I ordered and it’s worked great! My plants are in a south facing window and don’t quite get enough sunlight, this keeps their color beautiful and they’ve never stretched out!
@@samanthadiaz8537 well sounds like that is a perfect window!!
New to succulents and love all the wide variety- thanks for your videos and beginner information, its wildly helpful and makes me feel a little more confident (as I wait for a shipment of bebes) about keeping them healthy. There were so many in your greenhouse and the ones your friend gave you look stunning 😍 also Niko is adorable
Aww well thank you!! I’m glad I could help out with some advice! I hope your shipment comes in soon and if you ever have any questions I’ll be right here 😃
Oh I can’t wait to see the results. I’ve got to get grow lights now. My plants are desperate I just can’t seem to find the right shelves for the right lights. I want the to fit. Oh gosh I’m struggling trying to figure out how to do this.
Well I actually planned on making a video three weeks from that one however some interesting things have developed so I may be putting one out this week. I can tell you that all three lights will work but I’m going to have to experiment with how close or how far the plants are. You will see in the next video
I love your channel!
Happy New Year! I was wondering where you've been hiding! All the best for the year! Thanks for the video. I've been thinking about getting a grow light. Niko is cute!
Happy new year! I’ve been trying to get videos out but it’s just been crazy with work and the holiday season. I’m going to be better, I have videos on my calendar now for every three weeks!
@@SweetSweetSucculents yay! Looking forward to all your new videos!
Interesting!
Yes it really is! Already something has happened just in the first day but I will let you guys know all of the updates three weeks from this weekend. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you will subscribe!
my problem with my grow lights is i feel like the plants that are off to the side just dont get enouigh light. i have a steel shelving unit, 6 shelves, and i have large breed dog crate bottom mats on the shelves so i get an extra 5 inches on either side but it doesnt matter bcuz they dont get enough light. i have 4, 4foot LED tubes on each shelf. and my top shelf is a 4 foot pink full spectrum, just one tube i use for propagating and THAT works like a charm for propagating. but anyway i have to cram everything directly under the lights it seems....... im curious to see how this experiment works out.
Well I am too, I haven’t really grown things indoors before so it’s new to me as well. I am going to update every 3 weeks for 6 videos, or at least that’s the plan
I am no expert but I have an old style grow light, High pressure sodium, 150 watts, 15000 lumens. 15000! I used it in the past for seedlings, so this is the first time for succulents. Here in Ohio where the sun never shines almost between November and April, a grow light is a must.
I saw your video where you mentioned chicken grit, so today I went to TSC (like you said) and bought 25 lb s for about 9 bucks. I have to use it as a substitute for pumice which is impossible to get for some reason. Thanks for the good advice, and I'll use chicken grid generously in my cactus blend until I can get pumice. Thanks
Omg 15,000 lumens is wonderful!!! And yes pumice is hard to get here, or at least way overpriced. I’ve found the sunlight is much less intense this winter than any other so far here in Arkansas. Unfortunately I only have grow lights for this experiment, and my 100s if not 1000s of plants in the greenhouse will just have to deal with it!
