The answer to the problem of lack of sun, especially in the winter months, shortness of the growing season, and other problems is to grow indoor under simulated conditions. The rule of thumb seems to be the more light, the better.

It's not a matter of hurting them. It's more like Freaking them out so close to harvest. Just wait afew weeks and start fresh.

I would just add one or both led and see what the extra does. only a few weeks.

I HAD THOUGHT OF THAT MAYBE ADDING THEM ONE AT A TIME JUST TO FINISH UP

That's what I would do. You maybe surprized what they add. It can only be good.
