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 the Greenhouse sub would be good place to post this but it isn't as active as this sub.
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/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_WJZqDbTMPKTB3 ?
And if not, what would you guys recommend?
