Got an idea from this outdoor plant Im doing.


My intention is to wrap the top I left here of this bottle with foil and thread an adapter through to give this plant I germed so deep reds when its flowering in hopefully a month. It should be cold too so it should help bring up the temp since I did the math and thisll be still be flowering in october. Altho Im still trying to figure out the night tho.

Anyway, anyone ever use one of these? How hot and how intense is the light because as of now its gonna be wedged right next to my plant. Is this just a terrible idea?

My expectations are low seeing as Ive germed it super late in the growing season, but Im hoping for a half oz, but Im thinking the deep reds can at least give me some slighyly better nug hopefully. Cant even really do big plants outside or at least its not important enough for me to risk it.

Are you talking about using a light on an outdoor plant or bringing it inside?
Probably leave it outside and weatherproof the cords and connections. Im looking at a 12w one now. I dont honestly know if its worth doing, this is just a fun thing Im doing with this seed I germed to see if my frozen seeds would germ. Also wanna see how an outdoor plant flowers without dealing with a big plant.

Light will burn plant, They get red light from the sun, not a good idea..
Thats what I was worried about, Im checking out this 12w or maybe just a single clip on one. Or the possibility of forgetting the whole thing and just leaving it to the sun. Ive read greenhouses supplement some leds in addition to the sun so I might as well try and make my bud as decent as I can within reason. The 12w one is only 20 bucks versus the 25w and might run considerably cooler. Seeing as I wont be using it until colder weather it could be cool and might be better, 12watts isnt a whole ton at one time for a plant, I guess most people are buying these for something called light therapy. If people are shining leds at their faces, altho I think that cant be good, my plants might be fine if I only hit them at certain times, as Ive read people do that too. I honestly dont know haha
