Supplemental Light (CMH Grow Light)

Since there is no rain that will come in contact with the plant and the weather has been very cloudy I decided to set-up the CMH grow light over the plant and turn up the wattage to increase the coverage. It is covered in plastic because I have misters coming on to help increase the humidity and the light needs to stay in a dry environment. I only have this come in from 0400 to 1000 to also extend the day. However, on those very dark and cloudy days I have the option to turn this light on all “day”. The goal is to try and allow the plant to photosynthesize longer and make use of the carbon dioxide that is being supplemented during this extended “day” cycle.
