    single LED bulb for veg?

    I got one of these for growing a couple plants until I transplant, maybe 3 weeks. Is this a waste of time, should I just get a bright CFL instead? I have it hanging above the seedlings

    complete beginner
    39" x 39" x 78" tent
    315 Watt CMH
    4" Phat Filter w/ 4" Hurricane duct fan
    Automatic top feed into coco.
    Mega Crop nutes

    It's probably fine for the first few days or so but once they get going you want more light. Alot of growth can happen in the first 3 weeks. Can you get them under the CMH?

      eventually but the tent is full for another 2 weeks. Wanted to get a jump in the next grow. maybe I'll get a stringer one or rig up multiple lights or something

    I used those bulbs before I knew what I was doing...it worked not great. I now use CFLs with clamp reflectors for anything not in the tent.
    ****tent (2x4) and large light (Relassy 300W LED) is in storage for now until I can solve some household electrical issues****

    CoM Stonington Blend soil, distilled water; Liquid Squid amendment if needed, molasses for flowering
