led light question

I grabbed a 450w LED from amazon, its a cheaper one it's actual draw its 195w.. I have a spacebucket I put together using a 44 gal bucket I had lying around. It's about 3.5 feet tall by 2ish feet wide... and a 32 gal one thats a little short maybe 3 feet by 2 ft wide.. its the led too much for that size or is it ok? I plan on just having 1 plant in there.

If someone knows could could breakdown and explain how I calculate how much wattage needed per grow area so I know from now on?

You will be very unhappy with the results of that LED.

I wasn't looking for an opinion on the LED. It's what I can afford right now, and simply a first indoor grow to see how I do.

My first grow i was happy to get 2 ounces off of 4 plants.... i did my best to kill em....lol

I got some auto white widows I was going to start this week

Should be great! I would think 2 zips is probably a good target. Autos normally don't get very big. I sampled some Northern Lights auto that was spectacular. Changed my thoughts about autos.

In the future, check out the Quantum LED board thread. Those are the future of LEDs for cannabis grows.

Contrary to the other posts, you will do just fine with that light for what you mentioned. Success will be more dependent on your skills as a grower.

Autos + shitty LED = Shitty weed

Led and auto grows nicely

Well this Auto Sour Melon Mass is amazing in size and smell

I don't think too much light, but should test your running temps with a watered pot inside: let run for 4 hours and check temps/humid.

And this is the baby sour melon mass

awww grumpy Mcgrumperson

Humidity stays in between 45 and 50 temp 70 to 85

300 watt led pulls 135w
