Is it worth adding a LED 18w 2700k strip light for last few weeks of flower?
Newbiegrower420started grow question 4 years ago
Should I add this light for the last few weeks of flower? I have a Streetlight 18w LED strip see pics. I was thinking that if I added this strip designed for flower to my tent like a side light it may help my Viparspectra V300 in fattening those buds a little. Thoughts?

If you aren't at max DLI for how many hours you run your lights per day, it can only help. if you think you are up near that edge, watch plant's reaction more closely.

Thanks everyone I’m going to try it... DLI is 32 based on PPFD of 750 at 12 inches every 12hrs for the Viparspectra on its own ( I hope I’ve calculated this correctly). I’ve closed the question now in error but if I shouldn’t do it plz feel free to msg or drop a comment just incase I’m about to F this up lol..

What Nobody writes.
I'll add tho, that since you're running the same lamp as me, I can say, that an extra lamp will only help you out. If running the correct spectrum, you'll get about 8% extra light from it.

OK to switch from 12/12 to 18/6 for auto in flower?Is it OK to switch an auto from 12/12 to 18/6 when in flower (2 weeks)?
I moved the plants from the attic which was way too hot and tried the 12/12 schedule to reduce the heat. Now that they are in an AC spare room wondering if it would be worth switching. Appreciate the support!Setup. Lighting

Light distance and power with a 205W Sanlight LEDSanlight told me I should use it dimmed at 80% and 45cm when in flowering. I was aiming to reach lower buds so I put it at 100% and 50cm from the upper buds. The tips of the leaves are slightly burned but no bud bleaching yet like my last run (at 100% 45cm). What's best ? Thx !
