Under canopy lighting

[Indy]

Only ever had 3 infestations of gnats. Two in DWC and just recently in a coco mix. Been fortunate to deal with them effectively on all three ocassions with method i mentioned previously. Initial hit with mosquito bits, followed up with a hydrogen peroxide for a couple weeks.

You guys might be right. The dunks/bits might be shit and it's actually the peroxide taking them out.

Buds chunking up right to the bottom of plants using side and under lighting

MOAR!
I'm interested in this under canopy lighting stuff.
Thinking I might try some LED battens from Bunnings, not a great deal of lumens but worth a shot if I've got enough and the combined wattage wouldn't add a great deal overall.

I got a ton of these mini chinesium bars I was Gunna eventually set up as as under canopy lighting when I decide to grow a real set of plants but lately I've been at 60-80cm max so penetration hasn't been much of an issue.

Would be nice if they came in 3000k with reds not 5000k with reds though. Got two 4 packs for like $75 a while back.

Any extra light you can provide underneath will equate to extra yield and more bud density where that light reaches. Having a suitable spectrum will contribute to the results and having light in a warm spectrum is more suitable than a cool spectrum when looking at non specific grow lights

Yeah3000k would be better, but the 5000k will still help to fill out the flowers
