LED Wattage Required to Keep Outdoor Plant in Veg in Winter
I have 1-3 cuttings I will be taking from some outdoor plants which will soon begin flower.
I am still debating whether or not I will veg these cuttings indoors until next season and then plant outside.... (I have never grown indoors) OR try to keep the plant vegging OUTDOORS thru spring (or whenever I choose to flower) As far as option two.... I live in an area that does NOT experience much of a winter. As far as I understand... ...if I root these cuttings and then plant them outside, I can theoretically keep them in Veg through autumn/winter months so long as I use lights at night to reduce the amount of darkness to around 6 or so hrs. I figured as Greenhouse guys, this sub has the best people to consult. Based on searching etc, the only question I still need to be answered is a recommended wattage of light to shine above or alongside the plant outside for a few hrs each night that will be sufficient to keep the plant from flowering. Based on my limited research into these types of bulbs, I see there are many LED bulbs. For various reasons, I think LED would be best for what I need...it would also ideally be waterproof. What about something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D3LW3MH..._VrFqDbM9K9A2Q ? And if not, what would you guys recommend? |

No reason why a couple screw ins wouldn't work inside a waterproof enclosure.
It doesn't take much to keep the plants from falling asleep. |

If you can read by it then it is enough, you only need them on 14 hours per day to keep them in growth.

I used a couple of 14 watt cfl bulbs two hours every night from 2-4am and it worked like a charm.
