Sunshine Systems LEDGP45 GlowPanel 45 LED Grow Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Sunshine Systems LEDGP14 GlowPanel LED Grow Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Burpee Ultimate Seed Starting System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Used this seed starter this year and got nearly 100% germination rates. The self watering system is really nice and makes it easy to avoid the seedlings drying out.
Update 2010 --
I now have two of these. The self watering mats are holding up great. The design keeps seeds watered for up to a week (great for spring vacation).
The only con is that the enclosed plastic dome is not very high. A couple of day old tomato pushes up against the top. I have used it to start countless vegetables and flowers all with really good germination rates (Burpee, Park, Diane's, and of course home collected seeds).
I keep them in inexpensive plastic storage containers (since the enclosed plastic tub is pretty flimsy) makes them easy to take in and out.I have also switched to standard Miracle Gro seed starting mix. The mix is much cheaper and easier to get than the grow cubes and germination rates and times have not changed.

Hydrofarm JSV2 2-Foot Jump Start T5 Grow Light System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered the JSV2 2' grow light jump start system and it arrived pretty quickly and set up was a breeze. All you really need is a screw driver and common sense. I put it together in about 10 minutes and the pully system for the light comes already assembled and works great.
It also comes with a 24 watt T5 6400k High output fluorescent bulb which is already installed upon arrival. The 6400k bulb is a very efficient low heat bulb which is designed to promote overall growth in the plant. Because it is a low heat emitting bulb you can place the light source a couple inches from the plants to prevent the loss of light.
This is not a complex system, it is simple and efficient. For the price it would be hard to find a package which comes with a stand, a reflective fixture, a good bulb, easy adjustment, and easy assembly. It is a good first step into the grow light world which is vast and and many times confusing. I also found that it isn't really that flimsy. The product isn't industrial grade but the light fixture is sturdy and so is the stand if you put it together correctly.
I will be growing venus fly traps when they arrive and I have researched grow light systems quite a bit. This system will only cost me $1.50 cents to run per month. The calculation can be done by taking the 24 Watts and dividing it by 1000 to get KW. Then multiply that number by how much the electric company charges per Kilowatt hour. That is the price it will cost to power the light for one hour. Then multiply that number for one hour by however many hours you will run it during the day. Then just multiply the cost of one day by 30 days and you have how much it will cost you to run the system for a month.
For example here is mine 24W/1000 = .024
.024 x .1484 (cost per kWh) = .0035616 cents per hour (less than 1 cent an hour). .0035616 x 14 hours = .0498624 dollars per day (about 5 cents). .0498624 x 30 = 1.50 per month. So my light run for 14 hours will cost one dollar and fifty cents per month. This is assuming that the light runs at 24 Watts per hour.
When I was shopping for grow lights online I found a very helpful website that includes a much better description on the Jump Start grow light and has a lot of technical and very helpful information on plant lighting. littlegreenhouse.com/accessory/lights2.shtml#jsfixture.
The website has a grow lighting guide and also contains the calculation above. It was by far the most helpful website when considering this purchase. It includes a good bit of information about the T5 6400k bulb and the Jump Start from HydroFarm.

Organic Sprouting Seeds Radish Mix 1 Pound Daikon Radish and Red Rose Radish Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These seeds are reasonably priced and germinate well. Growing them straight, they are a bit too spicy for my taste, so I mix my seeds with broccoli and alfalfa. They're excellent for many purposes including salads, sandwiches and bagel toppings. If you've only had alfalfa sprouts, you're missing the boat. Radish and broccoli sprouts (among others) at home can supply you with your own home-grown organic vegetables over the winter, saving you money and trips to the store, while having fresh tasty and healthy vegetables conveniently growing in your kitchen. For a Japanese salad treat, try radish sprouts with a dash of soy sauce or ginger salad dressing, it's a great side dish with sushi.
The seeds are organic and clean (I didn't see any pebbles or dirt in the bag), shipping was fast, and no excessive packaging was used. Just a good weight polyethylene bag with a twist tie, and a paper label.
