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.

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi, Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED Thanks, Mr.STM

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent? I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.

Lights Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?

When did the flowering start?The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?
