Hello people!
First time grower here, and I am really appreciating you tips and tricks after having started this whole journey alone with a bit of research after receiving sweet seeds as a b-day gift.
After buying some basics (pots, medium, and nutes) I started my grow (1 Green Gelato - sativa, 2 ICE - indica) in a spare WC which is about 2m x 1m with central ac/humidifier/dehumidifier, I started my grow with 2x 150w purple LEDs: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B07ZQDKP3T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 placed about 12in above the plants (keeping that range with a pulley system I improvised to hold the lights)
Even though my plants looked happy (doing my best as an amateur reading about the fundamentals), I started to realize that my grow was going very slow, the tallest plant was about 10in tall with 2 nodes after 4 weeks. The indicas are about half the size. After a few discussions about the importance of light, and a general consensus that my lights weren't going to be enough to carry my plants all the way through, I ended up ordering: Meijiu Quantum QB288v2 v3 240W hlg red Led Grow Lights, Samsung lm301b 3000k+660nm: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Meijiu-Quantum-Board-Best-Selling-QB288v2_62090945327.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.0.0.4d3321d031LhHa&s=p
While the new light is being shipped, I wanted to get ready to do the switch by having a good plan for the new lights.
Now the question is after taking down my purples and hooking up the new lights to my pulley, should I use the purples as additional lighting? If so, at what angle should I set them up (under, sides, from the top with an angle or side by side with the panel, etc...)? Or should I just stash them, and use them for my next season seedling stage?
Any tip is appreciated.
