Most grow lights are so cumbersome they limit what you can do with a plant. They come with heavy ballasts that require complicated mounting systems, forcing you to bring the plant to the light, not vice-versa. Wouldn’t it be great if you had a light that could easily be suspended above the plant without a hefty mounting system, or a light that just clipped onto a windowsill or shelving?
LED grow lights offer that kind of versatility. There’s no ballast, so you don’t need hefty brackets to Finish Reading this Post

Growing organic? Better double-check your soil. Unless you’ve owned your yard for generations and know exactly what’s been done with it over the years, you can’t always be sure that the backyard is organic. Just ask the Obama’s. Their organic soil went to sludge after it was discovered that the land was contaminated by the Clinton’s. Hilary Clinton’s garden was fertilized by sewage, which is actually pretty common, but it’s against the rules for organic gardening. Now Michelle Obam Finish Reading this Post

You may wonder about the expense of LED technology, but actually they are much cheaper than HPS or fluorescent lights when you consider their energy savings and long lasting lifespan. Your typical HPS light is really little more than junk after a season or two, while an LED light can last nearly a decade providing a maximum spectrum of energy efficient light.
With LED, growing is maximized to its supreme efficiency. Not only do LED lights last 10 to 20 times longer than HPS lights, but they also Finish Reading this Post

Summer’s months are almost over, which means so are gorgeous days where the daylight stretches well into the evening. As you enjoy a bountiful harvest, it’s natural to be a little sad knowing that the growing season is almost over. Fresh herbs and vegetables taste better than anything you could possibly buy in the store. Sadly, freshness doesn’t last. Even if you can your own vegetables, they won’t taste as great as the cool summer evening you picked them from the garden and sliced them Finish Reading this Post
After years of being an avid gardener, I had always wanted to start my own seeds indoors. I was tired of paying the high prices for my flowers and my vegetables every summer. I had to constantly get to the local nursery before Mother’s Day weekend in order to get the plants that were in good condition. It always seemed that after that weekend had come, the flower and vegetable plants that were left over were in poor health. Then I had to keep the plants indoors for several weeks anyways, until Finish Reading this Post
An overhead fluorescent grow light is a great way to start seedlings indoors. These lights will provide your seeds with the amount of lighting that they need to germinate quickly and to grow fast. I had always been an avid gardener and I decided to set up a bit of an indoor greenhouse in my garage. I wanted to buy an affordable light that could hang from my ceiling over a table that I had set up next to my space heater.
I saw that fluorescent grow lights were affordable and they would be perfect Finish Reading this Post

Using more efficient lighting saves more than just the environment. LED lights operate 85 percent more efficiently than traditional incandescent lights, which can add to big savings on your electric bill. If you’re an extensive indoor gardener, that savings can be considerable.
Many of us were drawn to our love of gardening because of a respect for the earth. It’s the source of all life, from the plants that grow on its surface to the deer who eat them. If we are going to be proper stewards Finish Reading this Post
If you are going to invest in LED growing lights, do your research before you buy.
LED grow lights have become increasingly popular, creating a surge in the market. This has led the way for cheap imitations from China that don’t provide the same sustainable quality as other LED lights. If a price tag seems too good to be true, it usually is. When it comes to LED growing lights, you get what you pay for.
LED technology takes some initial investment. Recent technological advancements have brough Finish Reading this Post
