RE: Tech Talk: Starting the Garden Early with High Efficiency LED Grow Lights

in #technology7 years ago

45 watts is pretty decent, I wonder how many full grown plants you could grow over winter with one of these? I'm on solar and don't produce much power during winter but man it would be nice to grow in winter.

Sort:  

The it covers a 3 ft x 3 ft area, 9 square feet, so it would depend how long the plants are in vegetation stage for, how large they are full grown. The draw back with LED lights is that there is only about 2 feet of light penetration, so you might run into issues with a full grown plant that is more than 2 feet tall. I have mine hung on a horizontal wire so i can slide it from side to side once in a while to more thoroughly light cover the table. The light was cheap too, $40. I forgot to put the best part in the post. Thanks!
