OOh wow that's definitely a good deal and it definitely has the rectangular length that would fit the window proper.

It looks like I'll get more even coverage for all of my plants.

I guess I'll need to buy a timer and a humidifier temperature gauge separately.

I like that it has the dimmer.


But I guess it's just a full spectrum and you don't have to worry about switching between red and blue lights and how much red and blue so that would be pretty simple that way.


I guess you would just worry about the dimmer and making sure that the seedlings and the germination process is good.

I like the fact that the dimmer is there because then I don't have to move the lights so much because I can just decrease intensity as they get closer and then eventually move the light?


Everything looks good except I don't know that it has the full spectrum like UV and infrared and blue light.


So definitely put that in my cart for now but I'll have to look at some options.

It's too bad they don't make a digital timer that has temperature and humidity on it already then I could just plug the light into that.

These led’s are wicked bright, need to start seedlings around 15% and 24”. I have some of those blurples, fans draw power, no way 85w is putting out a thousand. The coupons are on an ap, Vipon. Good luck Shawn.

I have actually had decent results with blurple - flower and veg. I bought some used Mars Hydros when I first got into this. They get HOT, though. In a tent, they ended up foxtailing my buds. It was still smokeable, decent quality. There are certainly better things out there, but on a budget you can definitely use em. I would buy a reputable brand used - if possible.

I have a small grow light company, we make LED lights... I will say if you want to aim for this category... stick to one plant right under the light... maybe getting a clone to avoid disappointment would be a good start.

So minus my credit , for 3 items including the light I paid $48.99 additional payment.

That puts me at $95 total spent for for all three items!

I decided to go with old school timer and old school hydrometer because I didn't really want to spend any more money on digital.


I like to push pin timer anyways because you can easily set it and change it quick without having to go through menus.

My plan is to adjust the time or manually to accommodate for change in the season so that I can keep my grow lights on during the normal lighting time although eventually of course that will have to change when we get to the point of going 1212 or something like that to initiate bloom and then at that point I'm going to have to figure out how to set the timer proper because there will be ambient light still even though it's indirect for a few hours past the timer.


But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Maybe during the flowering time I'll have to put a blanket or something on the window if the minimal indirect light will affect flowering in a big way.

But for now the plan is to leave the window open.

I'm really excited about this light and I'm thankful that you show it to me and give me a promo code because that made all the difference in the world.


Thank you again for showing me!

I've got plans to put a lot of reflective material in the window and make use of that space because it's perfect for growing a tall strain since it has a lot of ceiling height.

I can manage things a little bit better in there and put a fan in there and it'll almost feel like a tent. ☮

+I think it looks cool.

I'm planning on having strawberries on the outside of the window since that'll be the perfect amount of light and heat for strawberries right there and I'm also going to put a hummingbird feeder...

Probably other flowers and maybe some herbs as well.

That's why I'm glad that I got this particular light so that I can have a bigger growing area and make full use of my indoor and outdoor areas near the window.
