Hi Guys,
We are gardening in an in ground greenhouse designed to run year round with supplemental heat. Due to the more south Eastward exposure of the mountain we are on, the back wall half is losing most of its direct sunlight by noon-2pm. We are considering supplementing with grow lights to combat this and to aid the winter growing as well. I’ve got a 75 foot long grow room so a LOT of lights could be needed. What would your suggestions be for lights that are well suited for growing veggies and fruits. I wonder how wide I could space them to have good coverage but avoid purchasing 20 lights? Thanks for any tips you could offer.
Duane
