Ive begun my first grow using sunlight as its good weather in the uk
If and when the weather does change I feel like I need to have a light solution ready!

screw in led bulbs, can do a great job, I know, I use them. Just keep in mind that you need between 30 to 40 watts of led per sq ft of grow space.

The weather will change were in the UK.
sunlight is great but not enough hours at the mo so you need to boost up the hours with your leds.
course they have a chance go for it
pick a simple nutrient regime so that does not mess you up

I've had decent success with fluorescent bulbs in the past. Not ideal, but 2-3 fluoros will work. Incandescent bulbs will not work, but standard LED bulbs may work (never tried them myself). Good luck!

Sorry hat the question earlier before but I'm new here so I dont know how to undo the solved quesion status. The LED has about 300W and I want to dimm it. not simply turn it on/off. Preferably with some kind of integration in home automation systems like Home Assistant. Thanks :)

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?

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?
