    What’s going on DGC fam? I’m wanting to know YOUR thoughts and experiences with under canopy lighting. What type, spectrum, wattage/intensity have you had the most success with? Have you noticed better growth in veg, flower, or both? How long and at what height should you run the under canopy lighting? Let’s hear your take! Much ❤️ & dank nugs!

    I know @ZoomyCat uses them and is successful. I’ve been wondering about them and asking around for input. Seems to be pretty beneficial from what I’ve seen and heard.

      Yeah I’ve talked to @ZoomyCat about his setup. You’d think a lot more people would be using them, especially if it’s improving the areas of growth where you’d get larfy, undesirable buds.

        I’ll be using them on my next grow. I’m too cheap to buy a scrog net so I’m making one for the new plant. I think I’ll have better harvests with the under canopy lights hitting bud sites like never before! LOL

          It definitely seems like if you have the opportunity to run them, you should. I haven’t heard anything about it causing harm in any way. If you need tips on building your SCROG setup, check out Northern Scrogger, he’s the titan of tucking! Lol

    Yup. They work good as far as I know. I’ve not had a harvest with them though.

    I have good results with side lighting. Can put some spider farmer glow80 on tent poles. I see big difference. May be I’m under lit from the top? What got me into the side lights was the phototron backin the day. One of its selling points was close internode spacing

    I’ve had good experience with them if you are in a small tent with a super bushy strain it gets all the spots the upper light misses. You will see a difference within two weeks . All the buds usually come out fairly uniform that way .
