Not enough light? Help?

iopiopiopstarted grow question 5 years 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 harvest?Beginner question: Would you say this is ready to harvest soon or should I wait some more? Leaves turning autumn colors, 3/4 of pistils turned orange. Trichomes look rather clear, but some on the head bud are amber already. RQS says 8-9 weeks. Starting week 9 soon.

Is My Critical AUTO a Photoperiod Strain?I have 3 auto strains, 2x Thunderfuck and 1x Critical. The Thunderfuck plants bloomed normally and have been harvested. The Critical, except for a few light pre-flowers on one stem, hasn't bloomed. I suspect it might be a photoperiod. Should I put it in the tent at 12/12 or 18/6?
