Any ideas on a good inexpensive grow light?? We brought all our potted tropicals in our garage the other night so they would not freeze. One plant(palm) is about 8 ft tall and about 300 pounds. It is not easy to keep bringing all this in and out of the garage so any ideas ?? I would love to get some type of grow light and keep all these plants in until spring.
Any florsecent light will do. Go to Wal-Mart and get one of their cheap florescent lights for about $12.

Hi Shellie, Just be sure to get a flourescent that has the right spectrum for growing plants (usually a warmer frequency type). I bought my last set at Menards, but I'm sure they are available widely. I used a simple shop type flourescent fixture.

Use regular shop lights. The 4 foot flourescent ones. It's all you need.
You can use one warm and one cool.

There are always time zones, which is why you can reply to me 5 or so hours before I ask a question. But If everyone would set their computers to GMT (
Thanks David, I was em tech support asking them why I was seeing the RE'S before the original post. DA!!!
HPS or MH. Fluorescents lose too much intensity past 4" from the tubes.
Since you are in the same time zone as I am, there shouldn't be any difference in the time of the replies. You should check your clock settings.
