Supplemental lighting (extremely affordable versions)

[Southeast Figs]

This is the view out my bedroom window again, where I Set my Cdd Noire, and Black Madeira (kk) trees during rainy weather. Like now when it rains allot for days and days.
The poly roll roof filters some light, then clouds filter allot more, so to keep things strong and sturdy, I add some supplemental light.
Supplemental lights help prevent the softer thinner growth that can develop in lower light situations.

I’ve considered doing this because my yard has a lot of shade. Are you planning on keeping them on 24/7 to maximize the gains?
Keep us updated how it works out for you.

For what it’s worth, this light meter is a little expensive, but works amazingly well. So now in my grow tent, I’m no longer guessing, I know exactly how much light I’ve got compared to what I’m trying to get. Your light may or may not be as effective as you think. With this measurement, you know.

Man look at those big'ol leaves...they look very healthy man.
Is that a cattle panel up top?
I've been wanting to pick up a couple of those.
Great for so many applications.
