Is that important what kind of light you use?

Thanks everyone. My grow space is the one in photo, it’s 29 x 60 x 200 cm. Is my first indoor. I really like the mars hydro 600 but it’s 2 cm wider. Do you have other advises to buy? I bought both cfl and leds from Amazon so I can return everything. What’s do you think about this? My budgets is 100€ max. https://www.amazon.it/dp/B071HTMRNX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_zWGLEbM75FM2H

Either one of these would work... This is the largest space you are able to devote to growing?

You can't find something like this?

windopz · Apr 14, 2020

yeah but it's definitely too much pricey..i found this one that looks interesting. 150watts effective

this plus your LED - is enough luminosity for a microgrow.
let the 5500k CFLs on and as the plant grows simply add more lamps...

you need to do something VERY serious to not let light escape - a closed hood/cardbox/tent bc these damn CFLs radiate in all directions...

so you think I don't need to buy a more powerful light?

my tip for you is to read up on growing like growweedeasy.com or a book, then make yourself a plan and then spend money.
In the interim, you can make some first experience with these CFLs. They cannot support a huge plant. But with good reflection it may work....

windopz · Apr 14, 2020

now that I started to understand better my needs and what CFL's can give, I think it would be better for my grow space to get a led like the one I posted before. It seems to be powerful enough, and can grow a plant from the beginning until flowering.
If I stay with CFL I'll have not enough space to put other bulbs.

wil2279 · Apr 14, 2020

That is probably better than the cfl's but if you can find one that is a white light and not a "blurples" light... That would be better.

Ok I just bought the full spectrum 50 real watts version of that light. I will use it together with my 30w white full spectrum lights. 80watts led should be enough for just one plant.

Yes. For blue/red older leds, 50 watts per sq ft(just like HPS) is recommended and 35 for whites better quality leds. You will do fine with 1 plant under the 80 watts.

Is that important what kind of light you use?
