The Veg side of my light went out today. All I had to add was an led shop light. What do I do while I wait for warranty service?

White light with 6500K color temperature is great.
The key is to get as many watts as possible.
18 Watts LED tubes can be rigged up easily enough. A few of these tubes will get you by in a pinch.

Lights. Please explain to a newbieHow much light does a seedling need? How many watts? Is it better to have one bulb but closer to a plant, or 4 bulbs and higher from a plant?
Does it matter how many plants are under the light if they don't shade each other? Do plants "steal" rays so its better to have 1 plant?Setup. Lighting

Is it too late for scrog and have I had the light too low during the veg stage?So I noticed pistils appearing and now I'm worried that I've had my light too low during veg (~8k lux). Is it too late for scrog at this point or will they continue to grow? I've now bumped the light up to 22K lux should I lower the light to increase the intensity even more? TIA

Should I keep my light hours or take it back down?I had 20/4 lightcycle on my autos but because of humidity problems, I had to raise the hours with light on. First to 22/2 and now I had to put it to 23/1. Tomorrow I will get another LED lamp and soon a dehumidifier. Can I then turn it down to 20/4 again without too much stress?

Light cyclehi everyone, I wanted to ask if now that I am at week 6, if it would be better to switch to cycle 18/6? since it broke the ground it is doing 20/4 but I thought that maybe in flowering it needs more rest. thank you all for your help and good growth🌱💚

Autoflower kabinde Photoperiod yetiştirebilir miyim?Can I grow photoperiod plants in the tent where I'm growing autos (3X)?
The light cycle is currently 20-4. Will this keep the photoperiod plant in the veg stage until I harvest the autos?
So, can I apply a 20-4 light period for my photoperiod plant instead of 18-6 during the veg phase?Week 1

Should I lower my light during flowering?I'm at 24 inches away now, should I lower the light now that she's in full bloom? I went with the recommendation of Mars Hydro and burnt up 3 seedlings as a result. Sadly I only have one bean left of my Fastbuds over this crucial mistake. Running a Mars Hydro SP 250 keep at 36in.Week 5
