led grow lights vs regular leds
Comments (4)Plants can use the whole spectrum, but they use red most efficiently and they need some blue to avoid getting leggy and so on. If LED grow lights live up to their labeling, they theoretically should give the lowest possible electric bill while still providing adequate light to your plants. But that has to be weighed against the up-front cost. That's in theory. I don't have the practical experience to say much. A 20W incandescent doesn't use much electricity, but it also doesn't put out much light. A 13W CFL from the dollar store would give more, and it's so cheap it would probably pay for itself before it burns out, even off that dinky 7W savings. A 5W LED should give more light than the incandescent, at least. But even with LED efficiency, 5W isn't much....See Morehow to choose LED Grow Light?
Comments (2)which plants and the size of your tent, you grow in it right? and also which effective you want to reach? sorry for so many questions, but this is basic to answer. lol...See MoreAdapter for 28W E14 LED Grow Light AC85-265V LED
Comments (3)Consider is the Aspect, the first luxury interior design plant light. It is a pendant light that is fit for any room in your home, all while maintaining museum grade lighting & energy for your favorite plants to grow! Many people will use the Aspect in their kitchen to showcase & grow fresh herbs all the way to growing an avocado tree. How cool, right? I'll post some pictures below to give you a better idea of the Aspect in action.

Comments (33)^^ All right, you got it done! I worked on spreading some over the beds in the veggie garden but didn't get finished, I was weeding as I was going, which took a while. The snow will probably melt, it's supposed to go up to high 30s/low 40s, and we've only got about an inch or so, so I can probably finish the weeding and mulching those beds before the end of the month. I took DH's truck last Sunday and picked up 24 (!) bags of beautiful shredded leaves from a nearby subdivision. We had about 12 bags and spread another maybe 10 already that was from our own property, but I'm going to need a lot of mulch for the new border I'm working on (edges cut, will till under in spring). I should have made another trip and picked up more, but they're long gone after garbage day. Oh well....See Morestruwwelpeter
