I kind of agree with Greenmachine with a *note*. Adding more light is great but adding underpowered bulbs won't do much.. If was thinking of using something like to Bulk my grow, I'd wanna be adding 3 or 4 lol but at that point it's like you'd be far better off to just get a different more powerful light.

I have some of those same lights. I think mine are 12 watts. They are great for seedlings but you want more watts once the plants start to hit a fast growth rate. Good luck!

Да, она вполне сойдёт для второстепенного освещения (досветки). Но не для основного, конечно же... 👌
Удачи, друг! ✊😇

LED light distanceHey guys I'm kind of new to growing only been doing it for a little over a year. My girls grow really well they just don't get very tall I'm thinking it's because my lights are too close. Is this correct? Distance is 9 inches above canopy in week 6 growing critical 2.0 autos.Week 6

Light doesnt cover every potSo i've got 2 plants under one cfl lamp and i observed that that 1 girl is reclining to the right.
As i see my Cfl this girl is standing right below the plastic part of the cfl and obviously gets less sun.
How can i fix this? Changing place my pots every day will do the job?Week 2

78,600 lumens at canopy, ok for pre-flower and flowering?I have recently received a lumen meter. Measuring 78,600 lumen over canopy, is that OK? For my other grow, does anyone know how many lumens seedlings need (at about 25000 now) ? I can convert from PPFD or PAR. Educate me! ThanksWeek 7

What % to keep lights at during late vegMy question was around what power % I should have my lights at? My light is 300watts so I am assuming 50% = 150watts?
Is this enough to continue vegging my plant? I have noticed the growth isn't as vigorous.Week 11

Is closer to the light much better?Is the light closer better? I have a VIPARSPECTRA 1000W LED Grow Light (10W LED ,x100) and it says during veg 18-26 and flowering distance at 18-24”. Looking at other growers using LED they are closer. Should I try to keep it closer a little at a time? Is there benefit?Setup. Lighting

Does my LED need more red spectrum for flowerin?I have an HLG 100v2 LED grow light at 4000K. They say 3000K is better for flowering. Does it make any sense for me to add some cheap red LED strips to add red spectrum? I’d rather not buy another more expensive light if I can just supplement this one. See picture.Week 8
