We have a re-store down the road and they have a fuck-ton of led flood lights for like a buck or two a pop. Me always keeping an eye out for anything I can use for my secret garden jumped on that deal and this is what I decided to use them for. I cut the cloudy lens off one just to see if it made a difference in brightness. And the extention cord will be moved off the floor lol
I know someone will yell at me about the power cord on the floor next to 10 gallons of water haha. 16058373278755352555622460183382.jpg16058373637213058967264735522887.jpg16058374443267838884504535120780.jpg

Wasn't busting your balls, I promise there's bigger swinging dicks in here that mean it!
It says well known but I'm a noob and just talk to a lot of folks nicely and learn.
Your flowers look great, it scares me seeing fire hazards, no one wants that for anyone. Wanna see what happened to me today?
My humidifier tank cracked somehow last night and I didnt know until I woke up to a lake of water and a dead plant.
First pic Nov 18, 2 others today.

Whaaaaaat the fuck! Man that sucks big time! That was the result of a humidifier breaking over one night? What damaged them the water on the ground or air not being humidified? I'm so sorry man that's a depressing catastrophe so sad! I'm a noob as well and I didn't take your comment as being an ass at all I chuckled lol

1 night and my heat isn't bad at all - in fact had a post last night that went for a while about a new one.
Running a 4x4 tent with a S2000. I woke up to a lake in the bottom and her crispier than KFC. Trying to salvage, but it's my 10th plant and the only that failed so far... I did-do not want to hijack your post sir, but if you do some training and pull them out a bit, you'll get some heavier yields for sure bongsmilie

I have them about as spread out as I can with the light coverage I have so don't want to spread out to the point of no light. And as far as I'm concerned hi-jack all you want i don't mind at all

Not at that level sir. I'm new to the growing game. I figure smoking almost a half oz every 2 days through a bong with the wife, growing it on my own might help offset

I hear you on that brother. I'm doing the same but didn't think it would be such a time consuming hobby. Not complaining, the wife does tho lol. I love being down in the room doing this or that

Damn you must have to clean that bong a lot. When I was smoking like that I had to switch back to joints. Too much work. lol

Even though they aren't likely putting out a lot of useful spectrum I'm sure they're stimulating additional growth of some sort. You should look into UVR lights or bulbs to use.

I still wonder whether it's worth keeping the growth below the canopy if your side lighting isn't as bright. If side lighting is the same as the top sure but any less and you lose energy at both ends pulling out growth at a lower node to receive less light.
