Questions about Perpetual Harvest

[abnormalgrowers]

We are about to begin a perpetual harvest with different autoflowering strains and I'm wondering how could we give the same amount of light to the newborn seedlings?

The lamp is not low enough (and we use a LED lamp) to give the right light to new newborn plants.

How do you manage your perpetual boxes?

find something for them to sit on to get them closer to the light, i.e rubbermaid container flipped over, trashcan flipped over

yah, if you can't bring the light down, you'll have to bring the plant up.

mountain to Mohamed, and all that.

had to be kinda high when I wrote this, hehe. thanks

I already use this method, just wondering if there's something better than that cause it reduces the space for the flowering plants..

if you cant move the plants higher you could add some cfl's around your seedlings

typically, i'll use another of the same kind of pot the plant is in as a riser, just turned upside down. keeps the same footprint, and it's something handy that i don't care if it gets drained on

that or add some extra light for seedlings, a few cfls or so

Since they're seedlings, and you know they'll never get past a certain height, you could always use a shelf, instead of building traps to knock over.

You could always hang something small with construction adhesive from the ceiling... it is only a few seedlings.

that's a great idea, I will always keep the same footprint and spaces. Unfortunately Im using coco stab pots as underpots for my 6,5L pots so it could be kinda hard to raise it over there. Gonna try to use the same footprint anyways..


Also the hanging idea is nice, gonna see what suits me better
