Thanks for that info. I have two meyers lemon trees that are containerized and about 3’ tall. We have a lemon on one, the other had a numbers of little buds that fell off.

I have not heard or saw this type of grow light. I shall look into it. The grow bulbs that we have are not very long lasting. It seems that I replace two every year or two out of the eight that we use. Maybe it is because they really get a workout here, I have them on timers for 16 hours per day.

I get 6 or more lemons twice a year. I could probably get more, but I pick off a lot of the little buds after the blooms are finished.

I also keep it trimmed and in a pot of about just 3 cubic feet. Probably going to be forced to repot it one of these days. It surivives the winter in front of the patio door, with just a bit of spillover light from the grow light stand which is in front of the other part of the door.

Some times I do turn the light on in the morning and leave it on till 9pm. But if the sun is shining bright through the patio door, I don’t turn it on till later.
