- In this video I give grow light recommendations and explain my light set up. All of the plants in my room are pretty much only grown on growlights because I get very little natural light in my bedroom. I wish I had more windows, but you have to make do with what you got.
By the way, this video is not sponsored, but I wish it was haha. These are just the lights I use and stand by.
best,

“I talk about plants and... yeah, I talk about plants.”
YES THATS WHAT IM HERE FOR 💃🏻 🪴
Lol 😂
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.
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

My favourite plant content, the vibes are so chill and happy
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 🌿
Most of my plants are in a north facing window.
I literally just watched all ur vids and I’m so happy u uploaded 😊
can't wait for the moss video!
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 ❣️
Thank you! This is exactly the kind of informative content I come to CZcams for.
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 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
Ur. Ideas have my favourite vibe THE MUSIC THE PLANTS YOU OMG - perfect
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.
You have a soothing voice and you aren’t intimidating with how you explain you information. Very relatable and make it seem doable
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+
thank u so much!!!
The string of hearts looks so cute with the moss
the vibes are immaculate as always my luv benji 🥰
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.
I SO appreciate your authenticity in this video, got all the inspiration I needed. Thank you!
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 😍🙏
I was looking for grow light ideas and I finally got some and your voice is so so good ❤
I remember asking you about growlights on instagram and you replied. I did not expect that. Thank you for this video! So relaxing 😌😌😌
Your plants look so happy and healthy; I believe it's cause of your vibes haha💜
Perfect timing ! I was looking for affordable lights for my apartment and now I found them ! Thanks for the video !
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!!! ❤️
100% my new favortie yter, your videos are so calming and chill
Thanks for this video! I supplement heavily w grow lights and love seeing other people's setups.
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!
Your voice is so soothing 😍 I could listen to you all day 💚
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 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
Beautiful setup. Your plants are very happy and living their best life. Happy growing. 🌿
Love your channel. You are very informative & you give off such calming vibes. Keep up the good work.
your place is so cool and naturally relaxing !
Love your honesty and links/ pictures to everything
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.
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!
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!
Need to add a big big thank you for showing how you attached the lights - finally think i can have hanging lights!
What an amazing space you have! Love the informative and easy-to-understand video … really love your tips and recommendations!
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!
I was looking for any ideas to assemble the grow lights without drilling walls and ceilings, and I found your video! Thank you
Sometimes when i cant sleep i play your video and it calms my anxiety so much! Thank you❤
You have lovely gentle energy. Great information thank you. ❤️🙏🏼
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 .
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 😆
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. ✨
Such a relaxing vid. Loved the background music!💕
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.
Great information. Encouraging people to be creative is priceless.
I love your chill vibes! Totally up my alley. Loving your content and just subbed 💗
I cannot stress how much I love your videos LOL can't wait for more ❤️
Thanks for this. I like the table you have and I am inspired to get creative on where to hang grow lights!
This was great. Thanks for sharing, it's so nice to see someone growing such beautiful plants with artificial light. I've only got one room to grow in at the moment because of plant toxicity to my pets and I'm working so hard to keep the light (and temp and humidity, but that's besides the point) just right. Thanks for sharing your lights and how they work for you. I've been looking at a few of the ones you shared, but haven't seen anyone I follow use them. I'll definitely be getting a couple now and I'll use your links because it's been a heck of a time trying to find someone with longterm use of them sharing their experience. Thanks again.
You rock man! I can’t decide on the light I want to buy but thanks for all the info and your tour.
I was thinking about buying grow lights and you made a video about it omgggg, today is my lucky day 🥰 greetings from Mexico 🤠♥️
wow i just watched this video and at the end you mentioned having 6,000 subs and now you're at almost 75,000 holy heck congratulations!
You are a lil genius love your improvision on hanging lights, for I to am a renter. BRAVO
Your plants are beautiful🪴 Thanks for the helpful info
I absolutely love your bedroom jungle ❤️
what a great video to make, so many have sub optimal lighting but love plants
Thank you! This helps me a lot to decide to choose the room without sunlight
Thanks for this video! I got to see all your beautiful plants again🌱
I wish I didn’t have popcorn ceiling because the hanging lights with stick on hooks is such a good idea
Seven thousand subscribers!! You deserve it ❤️
What a star Benji is.
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 adorable and I love your chill vibe and music choice!
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 👏
im obsessed with your room
pls do more i love seeing your plants (and you made me buy many plants hahaha)
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
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.
Loved the video, info, picture inserts and background music 😊
I really enjoy ur content and your plants. Thanks for the recommendations 😊
Your explanation were perfect!!! We care about esthetics!! 👌🏾
Wow! so many grow lights. I see you love plants.
i’m literally in your situation haha i’m in a rented apartment & my bedroom is a north facing window so this was very useful for me as i’m trying to put more plants in there. thank you so much! :D
Thank you for sharing these lights!
Yes I really needed this video thank you!🤍
Thanks for the information. Your videos are really great. The music is so tranquil
I’m definitely going to have to try some of these! I have a good number of relatively bright windows but I also have two rather misbehaved Siberian huskies so most of my plants live in a room which isn’t naturally very bright since I don’t want them somewhere my dogs could knock them over and/or eat them.
So proud of your growth watching December 6, 2022 almost 2023 currently you have 263k subs whoaaaahhh your channel is growing 🙌🏼
When he said he was happy about 6,000 subscribers and now he's at 48k. That warrants a follow.
Thanks for sharing this info!love your plants!!!💓
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!!! 🤘
oh great advice, thanks!
Great work, Benji!
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.
You doing good!
Keep it up, Benji!
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.
Love your videos!! Keep them coming!
We love a creative king 😌
Great collection!💚
you have a very soothing voice
I just cant wait, i went online right away while watching 😊😊
Thank you so much for this video! I like how you explain everything and I have a rented space so your input was really helpful.
Glad this was recommended to me. Chill vibe and I have the same issue. Small North-facing semi-basement windows 🥺.
Alsoooooo, just found your channel and love your videos! You have the best vibe.
