Have you ever wanted to see a direct comparison between fluorescent and LED grow lights for starting seedlings? I caught up with Marty van den Bosch, who put together this "Grow Light Shootout" comparing 7 different lighting setups offered by a variety of suppliers. He tested them for real-world results indoors growing tomatoes, Marty calculated the purchase and operating costs, and calculated an "apples to apples" monthly cost (based on coverage of 4 trays for 18 hours of daily use). Before anyone starts dissecting the numbers, let me add these disclaimers: these prices are based on local and online purchases in Canadian dollars, and the electricity is also in local rates. They're based on prices in the spring of 2019 - this will all definitely change across time and location. Nevertheless, I think Marty's approach (even if you have to recalculate for your local and current prices) is excellent, and makes for a fair comparison. I'm grateful to Marty for having me out, agreeing to share his findings with my audience, and for the expertise he shared in this video.<br /><br />If you find these videos useful, there are a few little things you can do to help me out:<br /><br />Have a look at our Amazon shop: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/fraservalleyrosefarm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/shop/fraservalleyrosefarm</a><br /><br />Follow our farm on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fraservalleyrosefarm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/fraservalleyrosefarm</a><br />Like us on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FraserValleyRoseFarm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/FraserValleyRoseFarm</a><br /><br />Or better yet, subscribe to this Youtube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/FraserValleyRoseFarm?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/c/FraserValleyRoseFarm?sub_confirmation=1</a><br /><br />And for a place to indulge in random garden anarchy: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/unrulyrosesociety/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/groups/unrulyrosesociety/</a><br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJpge46CvAg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJpge46CvAg</a>
