Greenhouse loosing light.

Are my plants going to do well under the Sunblaster T5 I have here to make up for light lost during the evening? It's on 8pm - 12 am to complete the 18 hour veg cycle.

I'm aware that it's not the light needed but for the last 4 hours will it make a diff?

Thanks OG. I get the 18.

I only have 14 hours of light (ish) and I’m experimenting with my Sunblaster T5 on to make up for the 4 hours lost.

I’ve got the full 18 hour of light now just need a stronger light just don’t want to light up the neighbours - I despise fake light!

been growing since 1999 outdoors first year in green house with new genetics.
 
That t5 isn't going to do anything other than keep them 'awake' for a few extra hours. The only thing it's gona make them do is stretch because it's extremely weak light. To be efficient in any kind of way that t5 needs to be as close to the leaves as possible. After a few inches the par drops out fast
 
Why are you so hung up on the hours of light and just let it ride naturally
Just because you aren't getting full sun doesn't mean the plants stop and go into a dark period.
Shaded light would still give more par than that tiny t5 would

Ya it's shaded light (with shade cloth on greenhouse) they like it from about 7am to about 830 they go sleepy time.
I've just been told this is more of an indoor grow style since it's in greenhouse (I always did outdoor) and minimum is 18 hours or else they won't grow strong or flower as well. diff strains than all my NL & Kush outdoor guys

Well obv more light hours will make them grow bigger and faster and have more Bud but I think you're splitting hairs here.
If you want to use supplemental lighting get a mh, hps or cmh
