  Great video but adding some sciencey geek to your garden geekyness. 😉 The P1000 in Viparspectra &nbsp;refers to its maximum PPF (Photosynthetic Photon Flux). To measure light like other plant needs (water/ plant food) PPF is often used (a better of measure &nbsp;photons/light than &nbsp;just how much electricity it uses (watts) &nbsp;. Plants Photosynthesize the sugars they need and require the right amounts and wavelengths(color) of &nbsp;light to do that as much as water and nutrients. &nbsp;Most of the grow lights you featured do also show the PPF Density maps of the lights growing area.

  here in australia when you want to buy growlights, there&apos;s not much alternative but to deal with shops that mostly supply hippies growing weed. however, these horticultural supply stores are professional, and there&apos;s no need to talk about that. they supply the growlights for growing from seed, all plants.

  Great video! I just bought that VIPARSPECTRA light (with $20 coupon!) last week, so far so good. The dimmer switch has been a game changer compared to my other lights since I don&apos;t have much room to move the lights up and down.

  I have had very good success for several years starting seeds using LED shop lights with two LED tubes per fixture that cost about $12 per fixture buying in quantity off of Amazon. <br><br>The primary feature that LED shop lights require is the correct color, which should be between 5000 kelvins and 6500 kelvins. &nbsp;While fancy “grow lights“ that cost much more might do a slightly better job for raising plants to maturity indoors, there’s no need to spend that kind of price, 3 to 10 times more than the price of a shop light, just for seed starting.

  I bought 2 of the viparspectra lights that you showed on here just a month ago. I’ve been using 2 four foot long led lights for a couple years and wanted to add more. You just gave me a lot of good information that I really needed, thank you!

  I have a setup similar to the 4x2 metro rack in the video. I deployed a Spider Farmer SF600 which I use for overwintering peppers on one shelf. I use Valoya 18W LED clone bars for starting seedlings. Both lights work great. The Valoya clone bars are nice since they can be chained together - meaning they only need one wall socket. I use Kasa WiFi smart plugs for on/off automation, they are inexpensive and easier to schedule than mechanical timers.
