CHEAP! HID / HPS / Metal Halide Grow Lights


In this video I show how to take a 400 Watt HID Metal Halide Warehouse light fixture and convert it to a grow light that you can you in your home. The same method can be used for high pressure sodium fixtures. These are verticle fixtures but can be converted to horizontal. I bought the fixture, bulb and new cord for .50 USD. I show where to look to find a deal like this.

My Cheap CFL Grow Light Fixture Results in Hydroponics (Lettuce and Beans)


This is a video showing hydroponic lettuce growing under the lights that I made in my other video “How To Build a CFL Grow Light Fixture – CHEAP!”. I’ve been making a video from seed to harvest using these lights along with a hydroponic system shown in this video. I’ll post that as soon as it’s all together after my harvest. Comments and suggestions welcome. Take Care.

MORE CFL Grow Light Fixture Results in Hydroponics (Bell Peppers!)


More results of my home-made DIY grow lights. If you’d like to share your construction variation or results, upload a photo at www.tinypic.com and send me the link. I’ll post it in the info box to share with everyone. I planted these Bell Peppers from seed on July 9th, 2009. I took this video on November 15th 2009. I started to get peppers at the end of September. I currently have about 15 peppers on the plants. The more I pollinate, the more peppers I get. It’s really a pepper machine! I’m using a mix of two 300 Watt, 2700k bulbs and two 200 Watt 6700k bulbs. I had 4 200 Watt 6700k bulbs at the start until flowers appeared. I had a few unused fluorescent bulbs that I added above them for a little extra kick. I’m convinced that these lights can handle anything you would want to grow since these are doing so well. Bell Peppers are going for .00-.50 USD each. This will pay for itself. I’m going to pollinate them more to see if I can max them out. I had no idea when I started them that they would get so big. They are doing twice as good as the ones I plant outside in the Summer. I’ll be experimenting with other vegetable and posting results as well as building a few new goodies.

CFL Grow Light Reviews for Indoor Hydroponics and Indoor Gardening


In This video I show the various CFL Grow Lights that I have used the past few years and compare. They are all from local stores such as Menards and Home Depot. I mention the prices and light output for each. I also show hydroponic tomatoes that are a little over 2 weeks old. The largest bulb I show is the maximum length that the fixture can hnadle that I built in a previous video. My work in progress: www.tomorrowsgarden.net Buy your veggie seeds now guys. It’s cheap insurance. The stuff on the store shelves may not always be there.
