No they are used on the plant. The only thing used on the pumpkin is Florel 48 hours after pollination, but I don’t use it and see no proof it has any positive effects, but may cause negative results if not applied properly.

Not near as wide as they should be! About 8’ on each side,16’ total. Had some nutrients locked up, but it’s slowly correcting itself. Sent tissue test out get results on Tuesday. For now I’ve been able to start correcting it with daily feeding, I just didn’t notice it soon enough or it wouldn’t have gotten that outa wack.

Great idea, from a great mind. If I may - a bit more focus might help. If you have walking boards, create a tunnel around each light so the plant only sees that light, not from all around it, like you see from the house. Similar to a horse's blinders. - SORRY, Skunk Gorilla! I deleted my comment instead of editing it. Duh. Thanks for your comment. 🥴😧🥴

@McMillinGiants
@McMillinGiants 2 ай бұрын
The sides are actually on temperature controlled motors that roll up and down based on inside temperature and even close when it rains. I also added two layers of mosquito netting underneath the roll up sides to keep Bugs and Critters out (Hopefully). The mosquito netting also acts as a wind break to protect the plants when sides are open.
