Broken Light Advice

timmy84 · Jun 26, 2011

Today has been a bad day for my grow. It was an extremely hot day and my extractor fan decided to stop working. The plants also decided to have a massive growth spurt too. So i needed to raise the light. Unfortunately the rope snapped, the bulb landed on the plants! :sad:

Luckily the plants sustained no damaged. But the bulb is broken. I am currently entering the 7th of veg and still have plenty of room so I was planning on continuing vegging for a few more weeks. As I have broken my bulb, they are now in complete darkness. I cannot get another bulb for several days. What should I do???

Any help of advice would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks.

just put anything in there, even a lamp with the shade off just until you are back in action.

So I could open my grow room doors (it is a cupboard) and leave the light on in the room? Would this do until I get back into action?

What lights do you have for flowering? I'd use those with your veg schedule until you're ready for 12/12.

Better than nothing right?

Unfortunately I've been using a dual spec CFL. Was going to use this for the entire grow. Now I have nothing as its broken, I guess a good time to invest in something better, but it will take several days to get one, so in the meantime, Im unsure of what to do
