I presently have lettuce, strawberries, tomatoes, peppers and various flowers under these. I have used them for several years to start my garden. This year I will use them for year-long indoor lettuce and strawberry cultivation.

This message is for MultiMatrix. I tried to direct reply to your PM but it said your settings prohibited it:
Hello, Matrix,
Thanks for the message. While I've been gardening for many decades, the decision to grow indoors is relatively recent, prompted by success in starting seeds for outdoor planting. With proper lighting, the wide variety of flowers and vegetables i grow thrive. I use Miracle Grow Organic potting mix from Costco as my medium. That seems to give many months of appropriate nutrition. When the plants seem to be doing less well, I merely give them one of the many different fertilizers I have accumulated over the years. Guess I am lucky with plants, as they always seem to do well. Sounds like you are doing hydroponics, which I have never done. Typically, if a problem arises, I will search for the symptoms exhibited and adjust nutrients accordingly. Here is a site that identifies strawberry problems:
https://www.yara.co.uk/crop-nutri...trawberry/
I should mention that when starting strawberries from bare root a couple of years back (Mara Des Bois variety), I noticed they flowered profusely under the lights. It occurred to me that I could have fresh berries all year long, thus presently have day-neutral Albion variety growing. Meanwhile the Mara Des Bois continue to thrive outdoors unprotected here in Zone 7A. I would feel very comfortable switching fertilizers as you have suggested, while keeping an eye on any changes of concern in the plants. As you may be aware, strawberry production declines after a couple of years, so I would encourage you to root some runners for continued production. Good luck, and enjoy your strawberries!

Will this grow 6 flowering plants in the state of Ohio?

You prefer to spend a few hundred to grow $2 plants?

Yes and no. Some of that talk is actually about strawberries, which these could work for, or very small tomato plants. Cannabis is legal to grow here, and in many US states, so that's what I've been talking about, mostly, and it isn't a subject we need to snicker about anymore. And the ideal methods, techniques, and equipment for that and for large vegetable plants are not drastically different. Sure, you could grow a lovely herb garden or some strawberries or very small tomatoes with these. But if you want decent sized tomato plants, peppers, reasonable quantities of other vegetables, enough to keep you from buying at the supermarket, or "herb," these ain't gonna cut it. Not telling you what diodes or drivers they use, and making no mention of output, are red flags.

Not saying you can't grow strawberries with these, but just read the very first comment in this thread and tell me honestly that you think it's actually about strawberries. I was just clearing confusion, mostly b/c I thought it was funny. Also, sorry for putting you on blast. Legal disclaimer: I live in California, so I'll continue to snicker while most of the country continues to get squeamish when talking about it.

I do use two per shelf, and do use wire racks. Lettuce is thriving, as are various other fruits and veggies. I've been using these for a few years now, gradually replacing my 4' flourescents. At this price I ordered two more yesterday.

How close to your plants do you place these? Do you have them right near the very tops of the plants, or can you give them several inches of space?

Some of the verbiage in at least one of the posts was not consistent with weed growing. I doubt that was done intentionally to throw "the man" off the trail of a paranoid illegal dope grower. And strawberries are certainly one of the things people like to try to grow indoors. I don't know, and it really doesn't matter, but I don't think every discussion pertaining to indoor growing is necessarily coded marijuana talk. I've grown a bunch of pepper plants indoors, too.

Whatever, I'm happy to see it done in whatever way people enjoy. Maybe one day we'll reach a point where nobody cares what anyone else is growing. I don't go around advertising the fact that I've grown weed (because it isn't a big deal, not because it is), but I'm not ashamed of it either. And in any case, these are pretty weak lights that aren't suitable for all purposes, although they are serviceable for some things.

That's a little more interesting. Anyone got any specs on it, other than the 100W consumption and stated 12,000 lumens?

Still probably not a great choice if you need more light than one of these puts out, but probably puts out enough light to be a lot more versatile than the one in this post. I'm guessing it's quite usable, if not optimal.

Honeywell licenses their name for LED fixtures to IDC Texas. Be warned, IDC does not honor the warranty and Honeywell just pushes you back to IDC.

I contacted Honeywell, IDC, FTC-Consumer protection, and Texas State's Attorney. Ultimately returned to Sam's Club, which was a PITA, unlike Costco returns.

Varies from about a foot away to very near the plant tops. My tallest tomatoes are now over a foot in height, and the bottom leaves seem to be doing just fine at that distance.

Used to grow indoors until the flying gnat-like bugs took over. Completely abandoned project. 🏳️ In the end, we all lost as both plants and bugs are gone now.
