I experimented with a setup like that long ago so I'd love to hear how this works out for you. The side lighting is great to prevent shadowing. I'm not a botanist but I think light that keeps the plant growing upward is good. What I don't know is if there is a downside to causing downward growth. I had good production from side branches that turned and grew downward to the light. I just don't know if they could have been better by keeping the growth always up.
I like 30 watts per square foot (30cm x 30cm) as my personal minimum and love the added yield when I can provide 50 w/ft during flowering. I think if you will do OK with the CFL above like you have and the LED strips on the sides in the top 1/3 or 1/4 of the height.

Add on lightingHey Growdiaries. I’m about to start my 2nd grow but I’m not happy with my Viparspectra 300 for flower. I want a cheap add on for the flower stage? CFLs look like a cheap, low energy use, add on as I’m only growing two plants in a small w3xd2xh3 ft tent. Any advice plz & 🙏🏼Setup. Lighting

Flower LightDo you think this would be a good flowering light (on a budget) for a 4’x4’x80” - 1000 watt (5 plants - indoors - all hybrids ... if that matters)

1 light or 2I have recently purchased a Mars hydro SP 3000. Great light.. It replaces my Blurple Mars hydro exo 120. I wanted to ask what peoples opinions are about me using both lights for veging. My grow space is not that big. 1.8m x 0.8m and 2.35m high. Will it be too much light and heat?Setup. Lighting

Plug timer running fastMy plug timeris running about 10 fast each 24hr. And is now at about 2 hours past the actual time. This causes the light cycle to shift forward slightly everyday. Should I set it back to the correct time, leave it be or buy a new one? It is plugged vertically in wall socket.

Change lights off time?I'm having trouble with temperature control. My nights get too cold. My current lights off time is 12am-6am. Is it possible to change it? I really want my lights off to be from 9am-3pm. I think that would help me a lot. How do I change it? Let my lights run for 27 hours?Setup. Lighting

additional blurple lightsI also got the blurple lights from my friend. To keep the temperature down I haven't installed them yet and not sure if I will. Will they make a difference if I add them next to the current LED? If so should I wait until the flowering stage or anything like that?

Wich of those cheap lights would be advised under 200€ and that would fit both final vegging state and flowering?
The grow space is 80cmx80cmx160cm and keeping in mind that the weather along with the lack of ventilation budget limits my options to colder leds.
Thanks in advanceWeek 1
