LED lights vs LED lights

slugworth · June 3, 2020

2 years ago I graduated from T12 fluorescent grow lights to the 2 foot LED
grow light from walmart that hurt my eyes when I look at them.
Last year I got the 4 foot LED grow light bulbs for some of my fixtures.
I used a mix of all 3 types,with good results.
This year 1 rack was a mix of the LED only and I noticed the plants would lean
towards the original hurt my eyes lights instead of the 4 footers.
I think it is safe to say all LED grow lights are not created equal.
I glued magnets to the backs of the 2 footers to stick them to the shelves but
they were a pain to have so many.Walmart did have a more expensive bulb last
year but I was trying to keep costs down.Maybe I would have been better off.
2 years ago I had to hit 5 different walmarts to get enough 2 footers.
