However, I do have the lights on 15 hours a day without cloud cover so maybe closer to half the DLI of the sun or a tomato plant that gets half a day of sun. I also added a fan to keep some circulation and hopefully wind pollinate the tomatoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/www.briancbecker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_20200617_224144_resize_69.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1631\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.briancbecker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_20200617_224144_resize_69.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.briancbecker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_20200617_224144_resize_69-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.briancbecker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_20200617_224144_resize_69-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption><em>Fan to keep air circulation up. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have two QB120 HLG lights with reflective sides around the back and sides of the sub irrigated bin.
