Additional light at night in greenhouse???
Raswarriorfaristarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi guys. This is my first grow. I am growing in a 5x5 pvc greenhouse that I covered in polyethylene 6mil plastic. I am growing autoflowers and I only get 12 hours of sunlight a day. I have a viparspectra 1000w light, is it possible to use this light in the greenhouse at night?

It's only a 230 w Light in reality.. It's not enough to truly cover your 5x5 footprint but it would add additional light period to those auto's which they can and do love. As chucky said it will bring the attention of many a bug. You must also consider they aren't very "water proof" at all.. you could set that light up indoor and bring them in every evening as a more viable solution.

Hello. That 1000 watts at night should be enough to attract every moth for miles :). Yes you can use a light I just think that one is a bit bright. Good Luck. Chuck.

Bract/calyx turning brownHey fellow growmies,
i noticed brown bract/calyxes on one of my plants. (week 12, auto, 20 % amber)
Iwasnt't worried until I found them inside of some buds while checking for budrot.
Should I be concernend (cut the buds), or is this just the circle of the plant life or genetics?

Fast flowering strain takes long to start flowering.Why is the honey cream which is the plant that was noted as the fastest flowering plant of the three strains I have, the one that's the furthest behind in the flowering stage
She does receive a bit less light than the other two strains

Amber and still many clear trichomesApproaching harvest time and im confused with still seeing a lot of clear trichomes.
I identify already about 40%+ amber trichomes at the top of the main cola fading to 20% amber in the middle of it.
Lower buds/colas have 20% amber.
Am i just overreacting over nothing?

Outdoor growers: fim/top?I want to make sure to clarify that this question is only for outdoor growers with a photoperiod limited solely by the nature of the changing seasons.
Should I even bother with fim/topping? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Let me know your thoughts, or even better, resultsSetup. Outdoor

I'm a newbie and i don't know how i should water my seeds. Please helpI put seeds in a paper towel and then planted them in small pots but still nothing popped out of the soil. Should i use a spray bottle for now or should i just pour water on the soil? Cause i don't think spraying it reaches all the way down but i think pouring drowns the seed.Setup. Outdoor
