Lmao I just recently started binging your videos today and the whole time I was like "give me the deets on these lights!" And my prayers were answered later in the day! Thank you to the plant goddesses who heard my prayers lol
I'm so happy to see someone growing plants with north-facing windows too! This gives me hope that I can live with many plants in my north-facing flat. Your video is so inspiring to create DIY grow light solutions! As soon as I watched this video I immediately turned my unused coat rack into a grow light hanger (why didn’t I think about it?!). Thank you for the inspiration 🌿
This guide was exactly what I needed! I've been struggling the past days reading very contradicting information about plant lamps and the setup you have seems really legit, chill and cool!! Thanks Benji ❣️
When you began the video saying that you were not gonna speak on what you don’t know, and admitted you don’t know in depth behind the science of it.. you got my attention! Nothing as refreshing as someone who’s honest! Makes me believe on everything you say you do know!
I've been binge watching all your videos and wow 4 month ago you had 6k subscribers and now you have 52k !! You've probably heard this a million times by now, but your calm presence is really infectious, I love your videos! And thanks for all your tips because as someone living in an apartment that gets no light, they're soooo useful!
I love the "now i have 6000 subscribers, which is super crazy".... Lol, sitting at 80k only a few months later. The results of doing what you love! This has become one of my favourite channels on YT.
I grow some houseplants but I’m expanding my edible garden indoors. I have a variety of grow light but the challenge has been hanging some of the bar lights. Your pipe solution is perfect and I already have most of the materials to construct it. I use the same configuration outside to hang shade cloth over parts of my garden. I never thought about bringing it indoors for my indoor garden. Thanks!
Im collecting succulents for over a year now, but Im planning to start collecting house plants. It's crazy coz I never really had any houseplant before I came across your channel, but I got inspired to start collecting them coz of u. And yeah, Im putting them in my room too. 😅 Take care benji.
You deserve the subscribers, you're videos are well done and your personality seems so genuine, I subscribed off the first video I watched! Congrats on 6 k+
I like growing plants, not just because the sake of it, but because it makes people creative. We always have to find solutions to make inviroment work for them.
Finally found someone that's shared the make and models of grow lights that actually work! Thanks so much mate. Also, just a tip that you may or may not want to use, when hanging your lights from the ceiling, use fishing line. It's super strong and almost invisible so looks much better than twine in my opinion! Also, you can get industrial strength adhesive tape rolls which you cut to whatever size you need and you can use those on which ever hanging hooks you have! Look forward to seeing more vids!!! 🤘
I have had problems this last winter at my new home. Especially on winter-y, rainy days we have no natural light whatsoever (I reckon that my walls painted in dark grey don’t help, haha). Now it’s spring and the plant room gets quite nice natural light for like 12-14 hours, but I’ve been looking for ideas on grow lights when winter comes. Yours was extremely detailed (and nice prices!), and your voice is so soothing! Thanks.
If you want to hang plants from a pole look up: prusik knot. It used in climbing, it will allow you to hang anything as long as the surface is not too smooth of either the rope or the pole. The heacier what you're hanging the more secure the knot!
I like how you're so honest and upfront about how all the PAR and PPFD is too complicated... i mean honestly, it is too complicated for most everyone, i know it is for me! My room window also faces north with a shaded corrider in front of it... plus there's another block of apartments opposite my windows AND i live on a lower floor, so i get really low light... great to know that it's possible to have happy plants in a north facing room. Please make the video on how you grew sphagnum moss from dried moss, and also how you grew your string of hearts together! I saw string of hearts recently but i've so far seen conflicting info about their soil requirements (some say dry, some say moist, i don't know lol), but it'd really like to be able to grow them. Since you're growing them with moss, it seems they prefer a moist condition? Hmm.
I really enjoy all your videos. You are a triple threat as your videos are about 1) Plants, 2) they are very informative and imaginative, and 3) they are quite relaxing, to boot. I love that your Dad supports your love of plants and comes up with ingenious ways to help you. Take care of yourself and give lots of planty love during these trying times. I'm off to watch another much appreciated video!
This is so relatable, I also have a single north-facing window in my bedroom, not only that but there's a garage outside the window that blocks half of it and the whole property is shaded by trees. Needless to say I have a lot of grow lights and have had to get pretty creative. This video gave me so many ideas, definitely gonna get some of those monios lights, I've been looking around for some good strip ones. Right now I use like a dozen sansi grow lights and I love them, really effective and they have that warm white color that I prefer. I'm also just starting to get into aquariums, so your whole room is a inspiration for me 😆
Can we get a vlog of you answering questions about you and your plants? kinda wanna know more about you teehee. I love your vids on tiktok and here btw!
This was really helpful👍🏻👍🏻 I’ve. been hesitant about ordering grow lights because I didn’t know the quality , and I wasn’t sure about their installation . But you covered all that , so thanks . I’m glad the philos. are doing well because I don’t have good natural light either and I wanted to have some of these for my interior .
I’m glad I found this video. I have seen a couple of others on grow lights but they were more technical and not really helpful in making a decision on what I should buy. I have grown plants for several years but over the past few years have really not had the time. Now that things have slowed down a bit I have the time and opportunity to go back to growing. Last summer I began working with several succulents and some other plants that did very well in pots out on the patio. Now that winter is about here I had to bring them inside and I just do not have enough light to keep them well. I want a more white light. I tried the lights that have three different colors of light but my succulents are not doing well with them. They are stretching after only about three weeks under that type of light. 😱 Since I love my plants for their beauty I would prefer not to have lights that are too obtrusive. Maybe grow lights in some floor lamps and desk lamps that will hold the correct type of grow bulb. Anyway thank you for the information. Any other suggestions for grow lights would be great.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with grow lights, and how you set them up. You’re such a smart and talented young man . I learned a lot from you 😍🙏
GREAT INFO! I saw your previous videos and the whole time I was thinking “ what kind of grow lights does he use?” Your plants are happy. Love your channel.
You are such a cutie pie and I love your plants and set up XD I usually see really jank looking plant lights and it makes me wanna steer away but I hate that all my windows are overcrowded. This is inspirational 👏
Thx for sharing. My place is on the ground level facing northeast with no natural light coming in even during day time so not just lights themselves but how to install them were also rly helpful
Your videos are so aesthetically pleasing and inspiring! The great setup, the happy plants, the charming smart host, the music... Top quality! 👏 By the way, your P. gloriosum looks a bit overwhelmed with the light he's getting. I'd bet that's why he's bowing that way. Nothing too bad, I guess that's actually helpful in order to enjoy it placed at eye level. ✨
I loved this video so much. I got some great ideas and recommendations, so thank you for that. But your overall presentation was so soothing and relaxing, and don’t we all need more of that these days? Keep up the great videos!!! ❤️
Love that you love plants. Love your chill vibes. Thanks for the helpful tips. My only critique is linking all to Amazon. My personal preference is to not support that company, instead buy direct to consumer. Appreciate your content regardless. 🙏 ❤ 🙏
my dorm next fall has a north facing window.. i was sad because i thought i had to leave all my plants at home but this vid was so helpful!!!!!!! thank you 💚
“I talk about plants and... yeah, I talk about plants.”
YES THATS WHAT IM HERE FOR 💃🏻 🪴

Please show how to grow moss from sphagnum moss. That seems so cool and I found your channel not even an hour ago but I love what you are doing.
My favourite plant content, the vibes are so chill and happy

Most of my plants are in a north facing window.

You have a soothing voice and you aren’t intimidating with how you explain you information. Very relatable and make it seem doable
Thank you! This is exactly the kind of informative content I come to TH-cam for.
you are so adorable i can't- you seem like such a fun kind-hearted person. thanks for uploading and giving me a moment of peace in my day.
The string of hearts looks so cute with the moss

I really needed this video! I have been looking for someone that has little to no natural light and only relies on growlights.
you're one of my new favorites you're so nice to watch and listen to ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
I remember asking you about growlights on instagram and you replied. I did not expect that. Thank you for this video! So relaxing 😌😌😌
Beautiful setup. Your plants are very happy and living their best life. Happy growing. 🌿
I love the "now i have 6000 subscribers, which is super crazy".... Lol, sitting at 80k only a few months later. The results of doing what you love! This has become one of my favourite channels on YT.
Your plants look so happy and healthy; I believe it's cause of your vibes haha💜
can't wait for the moss video!
I just subscribed your the only plant parent that I've seen that only use grow lights like I do, glad to finally find someone.Thank you
I grow some houseplants but I’m expanding my edible garden indoors. I have a variety of grow light but the challenge has been hanging some of the bar lights. Your pipe solution is perfect and I already have most of the materials to construct it. I use the same configuration outside to hang shade cloth over parts of my garden. I never thought about bringing it indoors for my indoor garden. Thanks!
I literally just watched all ur vids and I’m so happy u uploaded 😊
Your voice is so soothing 😍 I could listen to you all day 💚
When he said he was happy about 6,000 subscribers and now he's at 48k. That warrants a follow.
Im collecting succulents for over a year now, but Im planning to start collecting house plants. It's crazy coz I never really had any houseplant before I came across your channel, but I got inspired to start collecting them coz of u. And yeah, Im putting them in my room too. 😅 Take care benji.
You are a lil genius love your improvision on hanging lights, for I to am a renter. BRAVO

oh great advice, thanks!
Perfect timing ! I was looking for affordable lights for my apartment and now I found them ! Thanks for the video !

Thanks for this video! I supplement heavily w grow lights and love seeing other people's setups.
Need to add a big big thank you for showing how you attached the lights - finally think i can have hanging lights!
If you want to hang plants from a pole look up: prusik knot. It used in climbing, it will allow you to hang anything as long as the surface is not too smooth of either the rope or the pole. The heacier what you're hanging the more secure the knot!
So proud of your growth watching December 6, 2022 almost 2023 currently you have 263k subs whoaaaahhh your channel is growing 🙌🏼

100% my new favortie yter, your videos are so calming and chill
even when talking about technical things like
grow lights, your video and your plants still manage to emit the meditative serenity I needed hah
I was looking for any ideas to assemble the grow lights without drilling walls and ceilings, and I found your video! Thank you
What a star Benji is.
I wish I didn’t have popcorn ceiling because the hanging lights with stick on hooks is such a good idea
You have lovely gentle energy. Great information thank you. ❤️🙏🏼
how he talks about having 6000 subscribers and now its 206.000 ..... i think you really deserve it :) fav youtube cannel ever 😊
I was looking for grow light ideas and I finally got some and your voice is so so good ❤
Great information. Encouraging people to be creative is priceless.
Talking about 6000 subscribers, here you are less than a year later with 100k! Congrats on the milestone.
Your explanation were perfect!!! We care about esthetics!! 👌🏾
I really enjoy all your videos. You are a triple threat as your videos are about 1) Plants, 2) they are very informative and imaginative, and 3) they are quite relaxing, to boot. I love that your Dad supports your love of plants and comes up with ingenious ways to help you. Take care of yourself and give lots of planty love during these trying times.

I SO appreciate your authenticity in this video, got all the inspiration I needed. Thank you!
what a great video to make, so many have sub optimal lighting but love plants
This is so relatable, I also have a single north-facing window in my bedroom, not only that but there's a garage outside the window that blocks half of it and the whole property is shaded by trees.

i was actually thinking of doing that! but i wasn’t sure if people would be interested haha
This was really helpful👍🏻👍🏻 I’ve. been hesitant about ordering grow lights because I didn’t know the quality , and I wasn’t sure about their installation . But you covered all that , so thanks . I’m glad the philos. are doing well because I don’t have good natural light either and I wanted to have some of these for my interior .
I was thinking about buying grow lights and you made a video about it omgggg, today is my lucky day 🥰 greetings from Mexico 🤠♥️
your place is so cool and naturally relaxing !
