Supplemental lighting question?

[AdkSmoker]

Hey Everybody!

I live in the northeast and was curious of others thoughts about my adding an L.E.D. grow light to my greenhouse
to supplement light in the off-hours, (morning or evening) to reach a target of a 18/6 light schedule?
I'm sure that others have done something similar, but I haven't found a thread that specifically talks about it.
This will be my first go and I have a month or so until I can even start my grow...

Thank you for any advice!

Hi Bill,

Thank you, it’s great to be here!
I think I would like to start with two autos to see how much I love it.
This will be my first grow, and unfortunately I can’t start it yet... (I broke my leg skiing).
But on the plus side, I will have access to a framed and insulated 10x10 greenhouse that will support year-round cultivation. With that being said, I came to the realization that I’d be hard pressed to get anywhere close to adequate natural sunlight in my location in the Adirondacks.

Spyder farmer has some great products, good light spectrum.
Would definitely help with growth.

Hey mate, @ViparSpectra has some great and affordable lights! My plants are consistently frostier under my ViparSpectra than some of the other quantum boards I've tried

Just get you those skinny ones like the sp3000, I’m not saying get the sp’s but ones like em, the sp’s would be ok though. A lot of greenhouses have supplemental lights and also tarps to black out the whole canopy so you can get 12/12 exactly...
