- Can you grow plants indoors for cheap? I grew some hydroponic basil with two small grow light options, a compact fluorescent and LED bulb.
The LED Bulb is a free sample:

Thanks dude!
THIS IS ART
Thanks Sebastian
Jeb, you ARE the light !!
Let's not be over dramatic now...
Oh Basel, you grew too close to the sun!
What kind of plant possess that much hubris, that it dares to grow too close to the lamp.
Do you mean basil?

Haha Jeb goes i need to make a video some day on how to make the grow bucket. 2 secs later "names jeb heres how to make a grow bucket"
I couldn't resist.
hey jeb you are my inspiration to start garding myself tx for making the amazing videos :D
Thanks Don!
I have no particular interest in plants or growing but your videos are so light hearted and interesting that I love watching them! :)
Thats great!
Awesome, once again. I love that you show your experiments and failures as well as successes. That is very helpful to us beginners. I tried the blue/red LED grow lights and found the plants grew slower too, compared to an LED daylight flood light in reflector (they were on sale at Ace Hardware). But it seems the plants do better with both since I combined them, so I focused the blue/red on the central stem areas and then daylight a little higher (leaves were getting dried out with it too close, in spite of having a fan there) and now my plants seem much more productive and much happier. I also put 3 full length door mirrors on the walls of the white shower, so they get some bounce going. So far I have a zucchini, tomato, green bean, and lettuces in 5 gallon buckets (Kratky system), that were started under a T5 flourescent and put in the buckets as soon as the roots poked through the rockwool cubes. They all doubled in size after 1 day in the buckets, under those lights. The cat decided the zucchini stem looked delicious and tried to chomp it in half, so he is now banned from shower plant inspection (luckily he listens when I yell "Ehh!"...zucchini saved).
Sounds like you are on the way to getting a good indoor setup there. Experimenting and learning are the funnest parts of gardening. Thanks!
Sorry, but I have to ask.... Where do you shower now that your shower is full of plants?
My shower isn't full of plants.
:-)
Cryptopolis: fair question, LOL. The plants are in the guest shower. I don't want any guests anyway, so it works for me! There are NO plants in MY bathroom...yet...but even if there were, they wouldn't get the shower or sink space. Unless I decide to hang some orchids from the ceiling of the shower...hmmmm...and maybe a fern....yeah...and then I could get a fishtank toilet bowl and make an aquaponics tray to go over the fishtank part...YEAH! LOL
"If the hole is too small, don't try to force it."
I wasted 5 minutes trying to cram the bucket handle through the hole. Embarrassing.
That's what she said. 🤣 (Sorry, couldn't pass it up)
What a caring person Jeb is
word!
That's what she said?
I love you jeb
Blú Gravity omg same. His videos are great
i do not know why i find this so entertaining
Cool!
grow bucket, such a great idea. thanks for sharing.
Thanks. I got the idea from people making space buckets, but those are more for stealth and compactness. This one is just because a 3 dollar bucket is cheaper than 10 dollars worth of pvc pipes and connectors to make a proper frame.
hey man i dont know shit about plants but your videos make me feel like im watching a national geographic movie and i cant stop watching
That's great!
I must say, on a video like this I wasn't expecting Gregorian chants. Its great!
Plants are so dramatic
They are amazing.
Almost like they sprouted for the soul purpose of entertainment..
It might seem like it but they sprouted just because they were wet.
@@JebGardener that's what she said.
*This is the greatest youtube content ever...*
Thanks!
Simple enough crafting and plants. What's not to love? Thank you Jeb.
Thanks Alison!
Thanks for taking the time to make the comparison between lights. Want to grow lettuce indoors year-round, so your video helps as to which way to go for lighting.
Outstanding video got me thinking impure thoughts about growing all kinds of things.
Love your vids Jeb. You must have a few projects going simultaneously since the production of each video takes at least a month or 2. So I admire your persistence and clever ideas! Keep up the great work man :)
Thank you. It's hard to wait for projects to wrap up sometimes.
This was actually beautiful. I legitimately cried.
Sounds like you are doing it right!
these. videos. are. so. soothing.
Glad you liked it.
Love the foil. As long you're not wearing it as a hat, it's not weird at all. LOL!
Laughter is amazing
Man! I love all your videos! I hang on every minute...and your music.....well done sir....
Thanks Patt
Watching this reminds me of Raising Arizona!
This made my purple kush grow amazing
Works good for weed?
@@belairmp3130 yea bro it’s good for it
Dude this is awesome, well done with the soaring choral numbers and editing
These videos make me so happy
Thanks Mary!
This bucket idea looks so inexpensive. You spark my imagination, Jeb.
Yeah someone mentioned there is whole gardening genre "space buckets". The ones I've seen are more complex though.
Jeb Gardener yea bro. But we all have to start somewhere. Next payday I will try a little set up. I would like to grow my own salsa lol
One solution for 2 problems, use 2 mirrors to reflect and diffuse the light and direct heat upward between the mirrors.
Can't wait to see this setup.
By the way, really nice channel and vids, love the music.
correct me if i am wrong but mirrors are bad for this. it is better to use special anodized aluminum reflectors.
reflection coefficient is higher. besides mirror will create focus spots which will burn the plant. bad english
That is an interesting idea. Thanks.
only mylar is good for reflecting light. Also emergency blankets, while not as effective as mylar, are cheap yet still very effective. Actual foil can start a damn fire. Emergency Blankets are made to be fire proof. They don't catch fire easy as their not easily flammable.
I went big with lights and my plants are happy
Praise be to all that work to make the bucket of light. May you have bounty, and joy. Praise Jeb.
lol
Try covering the inside of the bucket with aluminum foil so it reflects light back at the plant. That would make the light more even and reduce losses. Space buckets usually do that.
I'm setting up one in a trash can, and I found spray glue worked well to attach the foil.
Good idea.
IT'S A BIRTHDAY DREAM COME TRUE!!
A FOR REAL JEB GARDENER INSTRUCTIONAL VID OF MY VERY OWN!! ON MY BIRTHDAY!!
....now if I could just get a badass hat like that...
"That's some bad hat, Harry."
~ Police Chief Brody
Happy birthday. You can only wear the clamp light on your head if your head and the fixture are covered in foil.
Jeb Gardener AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER!! A PERSONAL HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM JEB!!!
SUCK ON THAT, LYING ASS MAGIC 8BALL!! HE IS A REAL PERSON!!!
...honestly, I feel like a moistening teen girl at a Frankie Valli concert...sighhhhh...
hahaha... I liked the background music though, I felt like I was growing weed in the Eden, and Jesus watch me and smiles :)
Thanks, Jeb. I use your technique growing basil. It works like a magic.
Cool!
Such a nice Saturday treat. You always put a smile on my face Jeb.
Awesome!
I just realized what makes your videos so much better than others: First you add humor and then you add simplicity! Love it! Have you ever tried "daylight" bulbs? I dont have meters and stuff and was wondering if they are good to use on seedlings and plants? Thanks! Love the music!
Yes my current bucket grow is using daylight LEDs
I’ve never gardened in my life. I reeeeaally need to go to sleep. I don’t need to learn about grow lights. But I just discovered this channel. Why can’t I leave 😱
sorry about that
Jeb Gardener your apologeticness makes it all ok. Thanks for making such captivating content over the years 😂
It’s all about light 👍
Jeb, I enjoy your videos! You have inspried me to try hydroponic gardening once again. Thanks!
Your videos are pure diamond
And the saga continues, glad to see another video!
Thanks!
Your videos bring me much joy. Thank youm
Thanks Heloia
I can tell you the problem. The cfl is mostly blue light. And the led is mostly red.
Youre growing basil which is just foliage.
Therefore it will grow better in blue light, where fruit grow better in red light.
Great for clones and wee ones. I've had bad luck with them on larger plants though. Love the bucket idea. No transfer grow container.
Thanks Tommy
I thoroughly enjoy the quality of these videos! I feel so engaged because of the music and editing. Keep up the great work!
Thank you.
Loving the comparison grow. Be interesting to see one in natural light also as a control.
Good idea but it's kinda hard indoors
"My name's Jeb, and I've seen the Light".
Praise the Lumens!
Jeb Bush? Nahhhh
My names not Jeb, and you've shown me the light.
Wow my first "first" comment without the word "first". Thanks!
Unpatched Underfunded Digging your name man, if you wanted to start posting videos you would have the substantial advantage of having a memorable brand.
This is like, the best FUCKING channel on TH-cam...I swear...
O man this really helped me grow my wee... Basil, my basil totally not weed or anything
Holy cow this video is so joyful!!
Btw you should grow mint leave
good idea
NEW record for me...I subed at 51 seconds!! LOL I have known you for 3:42 now Jeb... and I am In love!! SOOO glad I stumbled onto YOU!! We are going to have a LTR!!
I scored some cree LED spotlights for $1 each. They go for up to $30 at some places. Probably could get 2 for $30. I wish I got more. I didn't know how much I would like them. I tried to buy more, and the price was way more. They blow away the CFL i use.
10+ years ago i DIY'd grow lights w/ red & blue 1W leds off ebay. they worked well
for seedlings. now though , sept 2021 , i wouldnt think of doing DIY any more.
oh , i will still use the 1W grids for seedlings. but after that its '2000' level or larger
of fixtures to grow into flowering. expect to pay 150 to 300 dollars.
depending on the size of your grow tent.
the lm301b leds alone to buy individually vs a led fixture already built using them
and a meanwell driver are so affordable. you'll save loads of time and get
your growing groove going without all the construction mess & bother.
there's enough work and thinking - planning awaiting you. and research
for what plant physiologists have discovered with experimenting with
photoperiods , light intensity and other enviro'l factors.
these are variables from one plant to the next.
prepare to be dazzled with what you find out. how plants can
be induced in growing ways that dont follow from the millions of years
of evolution on this planet.
For the led bulb, I highly recommend the taotronics 36w led bulb the green one, not the new gold one. I have 11, 5 more coming. I grew a loofah in my closet with only them
This is my new fav channel. Hope it keeps blowin up Jeb :)
Thanks!
I went to Home Depot and saw those clip lamps. I'm trying to minimize costs for growing my succulents. Trying to decide if I should get the 8.5 inch lamp or the 5.5 inch lamp.
Home Depot also sells a 2 foot fluorescent light fixture with T5 bulbs included specifically for use as a grow light, but that thing is $50. If I buy four 8.5 inch lamps and a four pack of those CFL bulbs, that's $43.82, plenty of extra money for a couple extension cords and an outlet timer to turn the lights off at night.
The small light s fine as long as you have something reflective at the edge of your brow space.
You know it's possible the heat from the CFL was part of the reason the plant grew so quickly
that is an intersting thought
Hey, nice lights Jeb. Loved the plants. It almost seems like they had souls to me.
Thank you
good idea cheap and easy I'm loving bro keep it up
Thanks the next design is much better I think
Please bear my child...I mean great video once again. A beautiful way to start my day.
thank you for your videos.
How can you downvote a video like this, bravo!!!
glad you like it!
I believe that you have seen the light....and now you need sunglasses, lol
yes i probably injured one of my eyes on one of these dang lights
The LED would need to be 15W for it to be comparable to the CFL (that's the amount needed to be equivalent to a 100w incandescent).
I don't disagree with your numbers but these are the bulbs I had to compare.
As said below; this is art &; Jeb you are the light!
Thanks Steve!
High quality and very interesting/entertaining video again.
hey jeb, consider if the cfl plant gets hotter it will transpire more and suck up more water with nutrients and maybe speed up his metabolism, i have been studying tomatoes plants and there are some problems based on how much the leafs transpired and the transport mechanism of nutrients. If you can measure lumens of those 2 bulbs and keep the Tº at kinda the same, your experiment will be perfect :D
Yes the heat can be (and definitely was) a problem. But basil likes a little warmth too. Could be useful for someone who wants to grow some herbs in a cold garage. I have a thermometer in my next grow so I should have less issues. Also the plant told me it was too hot when I saw the rippling in the leaves. Thanks!
im glad u have found the light. as the light will guide ur plants to a successful life until we chop their leaves off
Maybe getting your leaves chopped off is success to a plant.
I have been...enLIGHTened
Lol
household daylight balanced led bulb have the high growing wavelength and cost are low around $8 a bulb. if you break a cfl inside it releases mercury into the air, which some say is bad for us to breath
best
Yes, I don't want to breathe any mercury!
That’s Quite a comparison!! Darn amazing!! Well Done Sir....
✌️❤️😁
thasnks
More indoor gardening!
I don't even like gardening, I just like Jeb
it's not gardening, it's high technology bio engineering.
oh
Awesome video, love the editing. Do you think lining the bucket with foil would help diffuse the cfl light?
Yes I'm doing that on my next grow. It acts as a heat trap too so the light must be put a little higher.
can't wait to see what you're doing with the no medium thing. i don't want rock wool!
A little bit of that project was visible in this video. Looking pretty good so far.
That LED should output roughly 3 times less light than CFL. Though CFL also outputs green light, which is mostly useless, that's about 40% of luminosity.
Also the diodes are directional which can increase efficiency
Dude, if only u know what i grow with this hahaha. AMEN
The difference in growth is probably due to temperature. Heat does plenty of plants good. The hotter light just replicates all the aspects of sunlight better.
I found this video to be almost an epiphany for me. Loved the music.
Awesome!
But how do you grow a bucket? I've seem to run short. I'm very interested.
You could grow a tree and cut it down and make a bucket
I'll try this, Thanks! I'll get back to you when it's done.
now try with a fruiting plant , the white cfl is awesome for vegetative growth but flowers and fruits need the red spectrum or a good mix of both .
I'll try more of that. My cilantro went to seed under the 6500k fluorescent.
yes they will work , u can just use white/blue ,but try tomatoes , use blue/white till they bud then add some red, try a control with just white. A cfl warm white would be slight improvement . If you use them right the red leds are good. Just not for leafy growth. You should find the space between nodes is shorter with blue, red will make long gangling plants as you see, if used for leafy veg. Think in stages , growth stage , flower stage, fruit stage,seed stage each needs something different, as the sun has hues through the seasons.
Jeb, you're friggin inspiring.
Thanks will
Now I want to have a garden
That's great! Get started small.
Nice video Jebb :). I started a basil on hydroponics last week not as pro as you tho haha, I'm thinking about getting such a lamp. Keep dem vids coming :D
Thanks!
Suggestion... use 4 of those LED lights so you're using the same amount of energy for each plant. Also it might be interesting to put the LEDs at a 45 degree angle, rather than over head... Happy growing.
That would be super cool! But it would be pretty costly for one basil plant. I'm using even more aluminum foil on my next grow so we should get better light utilization.
Perhaps a different suggestion then... A metalic bucket?
You can never have too much aluminum foil. It stops the alien space reptiles from teleporting into your cerebral ventricles. They're very small.
Great video, you are a huge inspiration. Have you ever thought of showing us some of the things you make with the foods you grow?
Yeah I want to do some food prep videos but they have to be epic!
you should use leds with a colder lightcolor, more blue is better for greens :)
good idea
Thanks for the bare bones set up, just goes to show you don't need a bunch of fancy stuff in order to be successful
Yeah this set up had some flaws, but it's pretty cheap to start with.
Had a problem with algae after 3 weeks using the CFL. Didn't have any problem with the algae using the LED.
Need more foil!!!
Jeb Gardener is simply rinsing the algae off the roots the best way to remove the algae from the plant?
The Cris Ray Gun of gardening :-)
Very useful video Jeb :) Thanks
Thank you
Did Jeb lose weight, or is it just that he used very slimming lighting?
I lost over 40 pounds since the filming of the grow bucket setup. My hands look different.
Jeb,
A 5100K LED (which also produces a white, daylight simulated light) could replace the CFL in order to reduce the temp. Awesome video!
yeah CFLs are so cheap and easy to get is the problem. the white LEDs I used in later viedeos worked great though
LOL! Your choice of music! love it!!!!
thank you
Am I the only one who is reminded of Steven Wright when they listen to Jeb's voice?
great video and channel keep up the good work
Thanks Joseph
always good videos from you sir
Thanks Nicholas!
