I have been doing some experimentations with different lighting setups than what most people use. I have been using various florescents (multiple wattages, multiple spectrums) to cover a non-scrog grow from different angles. My results have been very interesting. Wondering if anyone else has tried something similar and if they did as well as I am.
I'm not posting pics yet. I may at some point in the future, but for now a description will have to suffice. I'm growing an indica heavy strain of unknown origin. I vegged for about 60 days before switching to 12/12 and flowering nutes. The plant as of now is about 5.5 feet tall and has well over 30 individual buds that appear to be very similar to each other in size. I am expecting a decent harvest sometime in the next month.
For lighting on this particular plant I chose 5 different bulbs. All were florescents the equivalent of 100-250 watt. Two were daylight bulbs, 2 were full spectrum and one was a soft white bulb. I positioned them as follows, 2 over head set off center, one on either side and one from underneath covering the interior leaves. Also, the interior of the grow space was covered in a reflective material to help spread the light around.
I'm obviously new to this but am quite surprised and happy with the results. Any input is appreciated.
