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.

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?

These are kinda short at 23 inches. Would need two of them per shelf on a standard wire rack. Could probably work well as a kitchen grow light under the cabinet for growing indoor lettuce all year round.

How many plants can I grow under 1 light? Let's say I have hydroponic strawberries in buckets.
I grow in dirt and presently have eight plants per light.
EDIT: I just checked and actually have 12 plants under each light. the plants are in 16 ounce solo cups (with holes in bottom). Under one light, 12 tomato plants are about a foot tall and quite full. I expect they will begin to flower in a week or so.

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.
Will this grow 6 flowering plants in the state of Ohio?
Don't think the state will matter unless you are growing in an unprotected spot. As far as the number of plants, that depends on their size. Probably three, possibly six, of three or four inch diameter pots is my guess.
Ive got 2x 22 watt single strip LED 6500K shop lights w the lens cover cut off, it outputs a lot more than this light w the cover off. It covers a 2'x 4' area, which is the equivlent of two of these lights, for about $20. The only thing it doesnt do better is full spectrum light for flowering plants, otherwise for seedlings and green leafy vegetables, its perfect. I could also just add some red LEDs to my setup to match this. So while this is a good deal, one could do better for less.

These are 9"x23" so you could probably comfortably fit a 1020 tray under it. So like 12 x 6-plugs or 12 or so 3" square pots. As others have said, this is geared for seedlings or greens - don't bother with these more underpowered lights for flowering things.

People who say these are only for seedlings or greens are mistaken. I have used these lights for many years, and they are adequate for fruit production. I initially bought them for seedlings, and was pleasantly surprised when my plants flowered. These provide plenty of light for strawberries and small tomatoes. Also excellent for greens.

This will only handle seedlings and small clones. You would waste you time and money flowering under these.
