Hydrofarm FLC0125D Fluorescent Grow Light System Review

I was not sure what to do with all my trees over the winter. I made a mistake and forgot to water my 40 year old ficus which has an amazing 10 inch trunk. I also have been babying my serissa for about 8 years and have had many sections die off. I knew my main problem was that they were not getting the right amount of light over the winter in the north east parts of Massachusetts. This year I decided I would build a bonsai hospital. First I had to sort out an area that my darn plant eating cat could not get into. Then I ordered this light. I went a few steps further and went to my local home hardware store and bought a set of 2" PVC pipes and fittings making a jig to hold the light up about 5 feet off the ground. Then I put the light on a timer and ended up not only reviving my 40 year old ficus, but my serissa looks better than it does after a warm bright wet summer! I even put my herbs and my orchids under it and all in all this saved my entire plant collection for the winter. I do recommend making a stand of sorts. I used 2 "T" fittings for the legs and the risers, then 2 elbows for the pipe that spans between the feet and drilled two holes in them inserting hooks through them so I could suspend the light. It all breaks down for summer storage and I am sooooo happy with the results. Also, this thing throws out so much light you can't even look into it, yet it uses so little energy! Its like having a 125 watt bulb on, so yes it uses some, but you will (more importantly your plants) will love love love it!!UPDATE: This summer my plants are doing better than ever. My orchid I mentioned above even flowered!!! First time ever since I got it. This winter they will all be pampered again under this light.

I am going to make this simple. I have this unit, a fixture with an Incandescent grow bulb matching the comparative rated wattage this unit states, and a CFL growth light matching the comparative wattage as well.
I have all three surrounding a set of four plants. In a kind of triangle format, meaning one third of the plants space covered by incandescent on third covered by CFL and one third by this unit all pretty much as symmetric as possible. All of the bulbs and fixtures are professional grade.
All the plants lean to this light. No matter how I do it. I switch locations the plants follow this unit. I move this one to an odd position within a day the plants follow.
So I took the other two out (CFL and incandescent) and replaced them with two more of these. And WOW! The growth was exponential.
I will never go back to incandescent or CFL. I have four more of these type units, larger sizes, on order now.

GlowPanel LED grow lights provide your plants with a balanced spectrum of light for healthy & vigorous plant growth. GlowPanels consume 80% less energy than HPS or Metal Halide grow lights and produce virtually no heat. They're great for growing plants and with today's skyrocketing energy costs, they're also good for your wallet. GlowPanels are not only economical, they're environmentally friendly too. Less energy used means less of an impact on the environment. The GlowPanel LED grow light lasts 10 times longer than an HPS or Metal Halide lamp and will operate for up to 50,000 hours without the need for costly replacement bulbs. Because GlowPanels do not contain mercury or other hazardous materials they can be safely recycled after 50,000 hours of use.

Sunshine Systems LEDGP45 GlowPanel 45 LED Grow Light Review

These 27 watt LED panels work perfectly for cuttings. I have one panel over a 2' x 2' area and within about 7-10 days it turns stems into healthy plants with amazing root systems. Once rooted I pot them up and move them into a 2' x 4' area with three of these lights overhead. The plants grow better under 81 LED watts then they have under a 250 watt HID. When it is time for the plants to flower I add two full spectrum Compact Florescent Lamps between each panel. This is still a fraction of what the HID's cost to flower plants.
