Review on 🌱 Agrobrite FLC26D 26W Spiral CFL Grow Light Bulb (130W equiv., 6400K) by Charity Holloway

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sitting by a window with outside and normal lighting was good enough when they were smaller

I have 2 potted Meyer lemon trees that need to be kept indoors for the winter. Sitting by a window with ambient and normal lighting was fine when they were smaller, but this year I've started shedding leaves at the bottom of the canopy away from the windows, so it's time to add some extra grow light. I bought 2 Lowes floor lamps with 3 spotlights. Added one under the canopy. Just turned on one at a time, waited a week, turned on another, etc. People familiar with Meyer lemon trees will understand why, but if you don't, let's just say that Meyer trees aren't big fans of sudden changes in their are lighting or temperature. Conditions. If you don't give in to them, they'll shed all their leaves just to annoy you :) Anyway, they've had minimal leaf loss and are now leafing out like crazy and blooming like April. The larger tree should have about 40 lemons, the smaller tree is in the bud stage but I'm expecting at least 20-30 lemons. Of course the tree won't keep them all, but he tells me he likes the new lights. Hope that helps.
