Please help me with my lighting issue before I fruit. {Pictures of setup inside}
    #21934772 - 07/12/15 07:21 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

I currently live in a loft, and unfortunately there is one big window where a couple neighbors can walk by and see inside.  I would like to use direct sunlight to fruit my monotub since I have read that it is superior and obviously cheaper than CFLs. 

Here are the pictures:








I know that ideally it would be better to fruit downstairs due to the sunlight beaming at more of a downward angle, as opposed to the monotub being upstairs. 

The only reason that I am not putting the tub downstairs is because people walk by, and if they wanted to be nosy then they could come up close to the window and obviously see what is going on.

That leaves me with upstairs as my only option, or buying CFLs.

Would upstairs, right by the rail, be sufficient light exposure even though it will not be directly on top of the substrate?  I figure every day I can rotate the tub 180 degrees so that both sides get even distribution of light, and that the fruits will not favor one side by bending towards the light.



What would you all do with a setup like this? Get CFLs, or prop it up by the railing?

:heart:

I'd say the railing is a great spot....

I bought a daylight CFL for $1.99. You can get a desk lamp or a worklight for $5. That's $7 to avoid someone seeing it. Cheap insurance imo.

Direct sunlight is not necessary.  Upstairs.

Yes the upstairs would be fine. Direct sunlight is actually something you don't want (it will dry out your substrate). Indirect is all you need.
