AlboPepper - Drought Proof Urban Gardening | Experiment (4 Week Update): Custom Mix vs Miracle Gro / LED vs T5 Grow Lights @Albopepper | Uploaded January 2015 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
These are weeks of observations for my 2 part experiment. I am testing my own Albo-Grow Mix for seed starting and comparing it to Scott's Miracle Gro Seed Starting mix*.

From seeds, I'm growing basil, kale and lettuce. The lettuce is large enough to harvest after 28 days.

For the 2nd part of the experiment, I'm testing my new Apollo Horticulture GL60LED Full Spectrum LED Grow Light and comparing it to my EnviroGro FLT24 2-Ft, 4-Tube Fixture using T5 Bulbs.

NOTE: The lights in this video are grossly outdated!
