Heya all, I bought some of the supplementary light bars and although my 100w main light is from a reputable company is good, with it being 100w it hasn't got the penetration.....maybe 2 inch down into the canopy with enough power left.

So I got these bars, cost £100 and because I've only got room for 1 plant and id like to grow one with bigger side Colas.

And there magnetic so there easy to set up in a tent with double sided tape to stick the magnetic bars on.

I can go a max 75cm height so the next one i would love to get a really nice fat plant around 100g.

Its a little to late on my current plant..... well the whole plant is now getting light so hopefully the lower down buds I would normally chop View attachment 2569078View attachment 2569079I reckon another 2 to 3 weeks so hopefully they will make a difference, and will it create a more stocky plant with small spaces on the internodes and harder more substantial buds.

I know what seeds I'm going to try next, I'm only doing Autos right now so do use have any recommendations ?

Also I want to use bigger pots but the height thing stops me, does anyone have any experience growing in shallow but large pots. I don't want anything more than 6" tall but can go upto 21" long and 11" width..... would that work ok ?

Thanks

I have heard Mephisto is the place for autos. I think they are on the pricier side but I’ve been recommended them for autos from other members here who have used them. Galgrows is a member who has grown them i think.

You get 2 sizes, the 1 on the lights then 6 daisy chain cables that are about 50cm each so technically you could have each 1m alart

View attachment 2569493View attachment 2569493You get plenty of daisy chain, I only use one where it connects to the other side and you get around 3" coming out of either bar so that's 6" apart unless you use the daisy chains, you can buy more if you need.

I would buy 2 sets for a 1m x 1m. My top panel isnt AC Infinity, but rather an ex show model of a Grow the Jungle 100w that I got for £50 on eBay, there a top end Spanish brand and would of cost nearly €130 to get one imported.

Those bars use the bigger Samsung bulbs the H series and it's a mix of white and warm light.

Definitely recommend them. A couple on the floor would be a good idea if you know they won't get piss wet though.

Thats just the spares I got for if I had a bigger grow....really impressed with them

Worst case i use 2 left 2 right so middle is double daisy. Hopefully black friday deal comes.

Lamps age with time soo each time you ise it lamps glow little less bright probably thats why it was cheap.

But i like your setup i would just put the filter on top to take warm air out
