I have had a shop light in a room for ages that grows some of my desert roses over winter. They do much better with it than they did with the grow lights. I can also hang the shop lights higher and they are more out of the way and create a larger growing area. My great grandmother used to have a nursery and that is what she used for her greenhouses and starting carts.

Did you say you keep the light on for 18 hours a day? Why? Shouldn't it be closer to 12 hours? I have an LED very similar to this and leave it on for 12 hours. Should I make that more?

LED Grow Lights for $20!? Actually it's NOT a grow light BUT I use these to grow EVERYTHING inside. Tomatoes, beans, even Cannabis. These are available from Rural King. Other stores have equivalent versions with a different name. Many companies have contacted me to make videos promoting their lights but as an electrician I find fancy lights use the same internals as cheap stuff. I will not take free products or monetary compensation to lie to my subs.. I make great money at my real job. As an indoor grower I've learned the "scientific" studies paid for by the manufacturers yield data that supports the sale of their product. Fancy terminology like PAR and Spectrum mean little to me because results speak for themselves. No affiliation to these.. just thought I'd show everyone what I use. I use only rain water and my soil is blended with chicken made compost. Definitely plays a factor in success. Terrible reviews for some reason on the website. I have 10 that run 18 hours per day and haven't failed.
