I don't have the resources for more light or the room just trying to get by
You could use a couple of led light 'bulbs' to supply some extra light. The ones that go in the normal incandescent bulb fittings.
A couple of lengths of electrical cable, a couple of cheap DIY store light bulb fittings, a couple of led bulbs and a couple of plugs to plug them in (or wire them both into one plug).
They aren't going to give off huge PAR readings but they will certainly help

Heres a 28w grow but its samsung diodes from ac infinity its quality light compared to my 45w strip light grow. Something can be made with things lying around the house probably.

It wont yield much but with practice if costs really arent available its possible to get a nice oz or two. What lights are you using?

Oh wow thats a challenge I havent even beat before. Is it led or cfl, flourecent? Theres a section on this site with people growing cfls but they usually use multiple per plant.

I almost did cfl once. Heck theres a solo cup grow contest we had, that could be the next challenge Id totally participate in. The 1 cfl bulb grow challenge..

For the cost of a cfl light bulb fixture you could at least get something that thows out a usable ppfd. $20.

It will cost something at some point to grow but I like the idea of whats the bare minimum? If any? I like challenges of that sort.

I think I could grow one plant with one cfl bulb but theyre tricky they need be 2” above the plant. It will grow wonky maybe but it stops growing at some point and just buds.

Idk if your light is led or flourecent but now that I think about it I suppose you could keep going. Find out if female and flip maybe clone too as flipping small clones makes it easy to control the wonk from lack of light.

I saw 0ppfd on my meter on lower buds sites on my large legit grow tent. Grows light colored and airy but itll grow in zero ppfd lol.

Can we see what the whole space looks like? How much space per plant and light? Just get through stretch keep lights close as possible. Defoliate or leaf tuck whatever gives any light possible to all sites.

Idk how big youre trying to grow but Ive never grown a full size plant with sickly ppfd only small plants for fun. It was very fun and rewarding.

I had my 2x2 clones grow less quality and sickly with lack of light though and they were way more than 7w.
