Erobenstarted grow question 2 years ago

Would there be any sort of reason I shouldn't add a second less powerful light to the side of my tent? My thought is if my goal is getting more light to the lower growth wouldn't that be a good course of action?

No, he just doesn't what shit advice. I've seen grow done with 15watt lights. Yeah, an extra light will only help. Any extra ppfd will help make better buds

I think you need to get a better main light its very small growth for 5 weeks it will take a year to grow on the lights your using sorry to say but lights and leds have to be decent pull at least 100w per plant sorry to say

Could work, more light is good but you gotta account for more heat in the Tent if you got a solution for that go for it👍

Veg lighting approach? Switching from cfl to hps?I started my second grow a couple weeks ago with a 130w cfl in my 1m veg cupboard. I’m thinking I will make the switch to a 250w hps soon. I don’t want to overheat the space. Do you think this is a good strategy? I’ll flower the autos in my 1.4m tent with 600w hps.

Swapping day/night light cycle during flower Day 22 of flower. Lights are on during the day, 8am-to-8pm but we need to switch to 8pm-to-8am to use the colder night air to cool our lights without using a/c. Would it negatively affect the plants at this point in flower to give them 24hrs dark & completely swap light cycle?
