ACKE-Floor-Lamp-Standing-Lamp for Indoor Plants' Growing,Grow Light for Indoor Plants

I do not have a green thumb. I have tried to grow flowers from just seeds numerous times. Maybe it is the lack of sun here in Minnesota, but I have never been able to grow any seedlings at all. I purchased this with high hopes. It did not disappoint. I thought I would maybe have to wait 12 days for germination... but within just 6 days I had 72 little flower plants!!!!! I guess what I am trying to say is... even really bad gardeners like me can grow seedlings with this product!!! It works!!!! Well worth the modest investment.

The legs of the base are weighted so it's well balanced and stable even tho its tall and top heavy. I have clamp on lights with the full spectrum color and they give off a whiter looking light that really rocks the colors in my room. This light is a bluer inflected light, flatter looking, but makes some trippy looking light patterns with strong reds on the lower leaves. I prefer the full spectrum lights visually, they give a lot of color and dimensionality to my room and my plants are growing. So now I'll see how this light effects my plants, if it's different.

THE FIRST PICTURE, IS THE GARDENIA, I DISCOVERED, LIVE IN THE RADIO SHOW 550 AM, WDUN IN GEORGIA, WHEN I TALK AS TOM CHRIST, IN BOSTON. THATS WHY YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT THE LITE 2 FT, AWAY FROM SOFT TISSUE LEAFS. THE SECOND PICTURE IS THE ADVANTAGE OF THE 7O WATTS, THAT ONLY DRAWS 35! YOU CAN PUT THE LITE, OUT OF THE WAY, ON THE FAR LEFT OF THE ROOM, AND STILL HAVE A LARGE ROUND CIRCLE OF LITE, THAT COVERS A GOOD SIZE PLANT ARENA. THE THIRD PICTURE IS THE ADVANTAGE OF STAGGERED PLANT LOCATION. THE TALL FLOWERING TREE, CLOSE TO LITE, IS A MEYERS LEMON TREE. ITS LOVEING THE CLOSE TO LITE SPOT, (3FT) & BOOM FLOWERING. THE LIME TREE NEXT, IS ALSO GOOD, CLOSE. THEY ARE THICKER LEAFS, AND ENJOY BRITE LITE. I ENJOY THE SUPER FRESH LEMONADE AROMA, MY ENTIRE ROOM HAS, FROM THE LEMON TREE. I AM GOING TO HAVE THE BEST FRESH LEMON LIME RECIPES. I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE LEMON TREE, JUST FOR THE AIR AROMA AFFECT. ITS REALLY GREAT.

This was a little challenging at first to put together. It was the screw that goes into the base that threw me off. You also have to be patient in screwing together the poles as it has to be very precise. Other than that this does exactly what it says. Thank you to the buyer who also mentioned getting a "timer" to put on this one (this does not have a timer on it).

I like the diffrent heights you can adjust it to and how sturdy the stand is and that it generates out a very bright light, i feel like it was well worth the money i'm very pleased with my purchase!

There is no timer function, great light, but you have to unplug to turn off.

Love this grow lamp -My edible plants (parsley, rosemary, chives, thyme, oregano, sage, and a dwarf lemon/lime tree) have been thriving since I brought them inside a few months ago, because of this lamp! This looks like it will be the first year that the herbs survive the winter indoors and I won't need to toss them out and buy new plants in the spring. This is the first year for the fruit tree but it is still producing limes indoors, but I haven't seen any lemons yet.Lamp is on a 5 ft stand which allows it to cover a larger area. Also gives off some heat which the plants (and my cat!) seem to like.Only negative is that there is not timer or even an on/off switch for the unit. It needs to be unplugged to turn it off.I purchased a programmable smart outlet adapter separately turn the lamp on and off automatically and that works perfectly.

Stands up as needed and doesn’t easily tip. I was surprised how sturdy the thin legs are. Definitely worth the money.
