Not enough light? Help?
iopiopiopstarted grow question 6y ago
I think my flower is not getting enough light. How can I make do with the light on my balcony (that only hits the plant from the side for about 6 hours a day). Any tips or tricks for increasing yields in my "lightless" situation? (Growlights are out of the equasion due to space)

Anything is better than nothing when it comes to light.
A store bought LED bulb (where the LEDs are actually showing, the little yellow squares)
A store bought strip of LEDs will give you something if room is an issue?
wrap them around 4 sticks to form an LED 'square room' No space at all :)
Be inventive.... any light is better....
I'm speaking from experience.
Good luck

I have actually even tried that, by putting a piece of tinfoil behind the main stem. Im not actually sure if it made any difference though. And apart from that its harder wedging foil behind it now cause the plant is bushy.

Anything that can reflect the sun? not a mirror. rather panda film/polyfilm or diamond-pressed mylar type thing.

When to lower light intensity?When is the right time to lower light intensity? I'm on 5th week of flowering, should I keep my lights on max or reduce the power/increase the distance to plants? I have around 1000W of Led's at 35-60cm distance from the tops. I see no burning/bleaching or anything like that.

Just wondering if adding sunlight could improve it or makes no difference?Do you still need to give plants sunlight if they have a tent fan and ac plus led grow lights? I really need to know if after 53 days of 6hours of sunlight daily the plant might be used to the sunlight , although I know led grow lights are like a mini sun inside tent but still?Other.

I use a 6500k LEDs, may mix in or switch to 3000K for better flowers if its proven to work.

Cuando y como pasar mis plantas a floración??I'm going to switch my plants to flowering 12/12, I've read that they leave them without light for 48 hours to force flowering, is this good or should I just skip it?? And I have a dimmable ballast, I have it set to 400w, when I switch to 12/12 should I set it to 600w or wait until the second week of flowering to change it to 600w??
