Diy Grow Light Shelves. I used two boxes per shelf. There is no on/off switch for the grow light.
The other shelves are perfect for storage for my seed potatoes, watering can, and other plants awaiting warmer weather. In order to make the runs the length of the shelves i cut and soldered the strips. Choose a grow light approximately the same width as the shelving unit.
I took a rather unscientific measurement of how much light was hitting my plant shelf before creating the diy grow tent and after, and the difference was huge.
For our system we used led grow lights. This light panel produces around 310w without a shade or filter. Turn an ikea shelving unit into a grow light seed starting shelving with the instructions available. Come along on a tour of the diy grow lights i’ve been using for the last 15 years and learn how to build your own.
