[tayo]

Tangerine dream auto
36 days old
Canna terra plus soil
Canna terra nutes
Was 18/6 changing it to 20/4 today is that ok?
Was with out light for 3 days last week as my light broke but got a new one.
Getting another CFL light next week to add extra light.
Can anyone give me tips on the best way to grow with CFL? eventually going to get better lighting kit altogether just waiting to move first. I've already started feeding this plant but for my next one in canna terra plus when is the best Time to start adding nutes. My girl was out in the sun today as it was nice out

No help with cfls then

I've used them to start plants, but never to veg or finish. The lights need to be close to the plant is my only tip.
Changing the light schedule won't hurt a thing.

That is not a problem for an autoflower. Before using Autocobs, I ran my mass built led lights around the clock. With cfl, you might consider that as well.

Is it alright to have the bulbs constant,might be a mad question but do the bulbs need a rest im new to all this feel stupid asking haha

Quantum boards , cobs & Samsung led strips are all good , just depends on your preference. Its more affordable building these lights your self then buying the big expensive mass produced lights from bigger companies. Most places that sell the Qb’ s will build the kit for you fo 35$ or so & you can get cobs fully or partially built . Just do a lot of research & choose what’s best for you , I wouldn’t let someone else choose for me lol .

Thanks mate and good luck too, I've got another one coming so that I have one from above with a reflector and one hanging down lower to give lower leaves more light.
